Chapter 6 Extensive Experience


    Ewan was holding E’s hand. Nova took a look at them, her face neutral, talking slowly.


    “I give you three minutes to take her out of here.


    “Ewan,” E tensed, clutching Ewan’s sleeve.


    After a moment of hesitation, Ewan replied in a soft voice.


    “E, wait outside for me, alright?”


    Tears welled behind E’s eyes immediately. She pushed Ewan away, took a angry nce at Nova, ran


    out crying.


    Ewan turned around to talk to Nova before chasing E.


    “Just wait here, I’ll be right back.”


    Numbly, Nova just watched him left. When Ewan was out of her vision, she took an elevator


    downstairs.


    She drove all the way to the Night Club.


    The night hadn’t fallen yet so the club was rather ck. The career wear she’s in drew some eyes to


    her the moment she stepped in the club. She caught a mboyantly-dressed man flirting with two


    young girls at the bar. She then walked over to them, said to the girl with a smile while wrapping her


    arm around the man’s.


    “Excuse me, he’s mine.”


    In embarrassment, the girl took their sses and left immediately. The man didn’t get mad, instead, he


    smiled teasingly, jesting.


    “Miss Graham, you didn’t get married. Aren’t we supposed to celebrate your bachelorship?”


    Johnny, the third son of the Collins, Nova’s confidant since childhood, was a yboy. Ewan wouldn’t


    have entered the picture if a romantic spark ever red between her and Johnny.


    The smile on Nova’s face faded. She took a sip of Johnny’s cup, said seriously.


    “I need your help, Johnny.”


    A frown reced Johnny’s smile.


    “What happened?


    “I need you to set up a meeting for me with Jacob. It’s about Tian Haiwan.”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Pondering, Johnny rubbed his chin.


    “Did the Chapman invite you to the party tomorrow night?”


    Nova nodded as response.


    “Rumor says Jacob and the Chapman are close. Maybe you will find him there tomorrow night, or, you


    could ask the Chapman for help.”


    Nova was in doubt.


    “Did you forget what happened between E and the Chapman? They are not going to go easy on me


    if I ask them for a favor.”


    Johnny just sniffed.


    “E? She’s merely a candidate, who probably is nothing to the Chapman. Otherwise, your dad


    wouldn’t be so at ease right now.”


    That makes sense, Nova thought.


    “Do you know what he looks like?”


    “Nope,” Johnny answered, fiddling with the ss in his hand, “he keeps a low profile. The word is,


    though, he is a man of charm.”


    Nova lowered her eyes. A man of charm? She never found any man attractive except for the one who


    stole her heart six years ago. Suddenly, a pair of brownish eyes, filled with affection and passion,


    shed in her brain. Her heart palpitated, in a hurry, she lowered her heard to conceal her emotions.


    “Jacob is tough to deal with, though. Even you do get to talk to him eventually; the chances are still slim


    that you will persuade him. But, there’s something you could try.”


    “What is it?”


    “Well,” Johnny said with a tricky smile, “get to him sleep with you. No matter how tough a man is, sex


    will always soften him.”


    Nova poured a ss of icy ck tea over his face before he finished his words.


    Next day.


    When Nova told Toby about her will to attend the Chapman’s party, Toby was surprised. The Chapman


    invited a lot of young elites to the party, providing a great chance to Nova to get acquainted with some


    young men of high social status. Toby wanted to ask her to attend the party but didn’t know how to tell


    her due to the tension between them recently. Thus, he consented immediately when Nova asked.


    “Ewan and E are going too, I’ll let the chauffeur take you...”


    He saw Nova’s cold face before finishing his words.


    “Dad,” she spat out word by word, “you don’t really think that we can still get along with each other, do


    you?”


    Toby averted his eyes, said in a low voice.


    “At the end of the day, you’re still family.”


    “The only reason I can be sitting here talking to you,” Nova stood up, her voice cold as ice, “is that


    you’re my father.”


    She’s implying that she and Toby would no longer be father and daughter if he kept pushing her. Toby


    dared not risk over this, she couldn’t be more certain about it. Without her, the Graham Group would for


    sure copse. Toby loved thepany more than he did his wife and daughters. Guess that is love,


    pathetic.


    Toby tensed, and then once again he said in a low voice.


    “So I’ll let the chauffeur take you to the party first.”


    “Gesture is appreciated. But no.” she said inly. “Johnny will give me a drive.”


    “Sure,” Toby nodded, “Johnny is a trustworthy kid.”


    The party began. Chatters andughter resonated through the lobby, decently-dressed men and


    women roamed around. Anyone who imed that they didn’t know the Chapman must be a foreigner.


    The Chapman, virtually, was king of Y City. Politicians, businessmen, and even military wouldn’t defy


    them easily. But what really intrigued people toe to the party were two young Chapman boys and a


    Chapman girl who just reached the age of marriage. No one would want to miss the opportunity to


    change their life. Maybe it would be better describing the event as a blind date rather than a party.


    Sitting at a corner, Nova whispered to the man next to her while she shook the ss of wine in her


    hand.


    “Is he here?”


    Frowning, Johnny shook his head. He put on a suit for the party today, making him seem more serious


    than usual. Still, he sparkled, pulling girls’ eyes on him like a ma.


    “I’m afraid not. Based on my extensive experience, I think he’s not here.”


    Nova was speechless. He might as well just say he’s a expert detective.


    “Mrs,” the voice of a child threw both of them away, “your boobies are about to pop out.”


    Following the voice, they saw a woman in a bustier dress, beneath which her breasts were straining at


    the leash to see the outside world. Standing in front of her was a boy of about seven years old, who


    had just given thedy a “warm” notice.


    Amused, Johnny burst intoughter.


    Nova suppressed herughter. But still, there’s a hint of smile on her face.


    The girl was so embarrassed, she yelled.


    “What a rude kid! Where are your parents?”


    “Mrs,” the boy said innocently, “Dad once taught me, a woman’s boobies are like a man’s pee-pee, you


    don’t show them to just anybody.”


    Nova was shocked. That was, well, in a sense, excellent education.


    The girl’s face turned really red as the crowd gotrger. Fury, mixed with embarrassment, surged


    through her.


    “You stupid kid! What in the hell are you talking about? How dare you call me Mrs., I’m only twenty


    one.”


    The kid frowned and said after a moment of thoughts.


    “So...Miss?”


    The girl was soothed a little. However, the boy then talked to himself.


    ”Did dad lie to me? He said that the more makeup a woman puts on, the less confidant she is about her


    own appearance. This Mrs doesn’t seem to be inconfident at all.”


    Nova finallyughed. The kid’s cute, she thought.


    She looked at the clock, and then decided to take a closer look.
