Falling for My Contractual Wife

The receptionist stopped Brian. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Miss Nova," Brian said in a deep voice.

The receptionist smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. Miss Nova is receiving guests. Do you have an appointment?"

Brian frowned. It turned out that he even needed to make an appointment to see her.

Brian left his name and number. The receptionist reported it to Grace's assistant.

After about ten minutes, the receptionist came down and said to Brian apologetically, "Mr. Brian, sorry. Miss Nova might not have time to see you today. If you have something to tell her, you can let her secretary know. Is that okay?"

Brian suppressed the frustration in his heart. He knew Grace was avoiding him. He waved the receptionist off. "Go about your business. Don't mind me."

Brian waited below for almost two hours. During this time, he sent Grace a message, but she did not reply.

Brian wanted to go up directly, but when he thought about how Grace would be angry, he continued to wait downstairs. When he checked the time for the fifth time, it was already eleven o'clock.

At this moment, Grace came down from upstairs.

The person who came down with Grace was Ted Foster, the CEO of Starlight Entertainment. Brian knew him too. Ted was a lecherous person. Brian had worked with him before, and every time they discussed business, he would order female company.

Brian could see Ted's gaze lingering on Grace from afar. He frowned.

Ted looked at Grace with shifty eyes and said, "Miss Nova, are you really not going to eat? I'll treat you. No need to stand on ceremony."

Grace maintained a distant smile and said politely, "It's alright, Mr. Foster. I still have a meeting later. I've already asked my assistant to order takeout for me."

Ted said, "How can you eat takeout? It is unhygienic. Come on. Let's go. I'll treat you." As he spoke, he reached out to pull Grace's arm.

Grace frowned and moved back. However, Ted held her arm tightly and did not let go. He even caressed her.noveldrama

"Mr. Foster, I really can't go," Grace said.

Ted continued, "You're already here. Let's go..."

Before Ted could finish, he was hit. "Take your dirty hands off her," Brian shouted.

Ted jumped and backed off repeatedly. His glasses fell to the ground. He was so short-sighted that he did not see that Brian was before him. He shouted, "Who the fuck are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me."

Ted rushed up and threw a punch at Brian. Brian held Grace's hand and protected her behind him. He raised his other hand to block Ted. The lunchbox Brian was holding was knocked to the ground.

Looking at the food on the ground, Brian frowned and grabbed Ted's arm. "Mr. Foster, do you want to die?"

Ted heard the familiar voice and called out shakily, "Y-you are... Mr. Francis?"

Brian threw Ted aside.

Ted was thrown against the wall by Brian's powerful fling, accidentally stepping on his glasses.

Squinting, Ted picked up the broken glasses and put them on. When he saw Brian, he gasped and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. Francis. What a coincidence. Why are you here?"

Brian's eyes were as dark as night. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he asked, "What do you think?"
