Chapter 8 Nova's Seduction

After lunch, Nova felt a bit off. The chat between Alice and Zachary that morning left her with a bad vibe. After mulling it over, she decided to call her mom, Olivia, to talk it out.

When she finished, there was a pause on the other end.

"Nova, chill out. She's the one who should be sweating. If you freak out, you'll give yourself away. She's just a newbie in such a big company; what can she even handle? She'll be swamped. More importantly, you need to handle Zachary. Even if things come to light later, he won't blame you, right?" Olivia said.

"Mom, should I use some drugs?"

"You know what I mean."

After Olivia's advice, Nova felt less freaked out and even a bit pumped about what was coming tonight.

She left the office and drove to a neighborhood called Maplewood Grove Estates.

She went to the unit 501 on the fifth floor.

As the door opened, someone rushed forward, hugging Nova and expressing how much he missed her.

"Nova, you finally came to see me. I missed you so much."

Nova was in a good mood, so she didn't push him away like she usually did. Instead, she patted the guy's head affectionately, "Good boy, I'm here now."

David's breathing got heavy as he picked Nova up and closed the door behind him.

Nova didn't resist, letting him hold her close.

David placed her on the sofa, with the warm afternoon sunlight shining on them.

He greedily stared at the cleavage that Nova's dress couldn't fully cover.

He pounced on her, pressing and rubbing her breasts with his chest, while a hard, warm object slid under her skirt, entering between her legs.

He was eager to conquer Nova, not even wanting to take off his clothes.

Nova was in a good mood and even changed positions a few times to accommodate him.

After all, she had to serve Zachary tonight, how could she not get familiar with it in advance?

Her unintentional moans and David's heavy breathing intertwined as she began to take off her clothes piece by piece.

This further stimulated David, who launched a more intense assault.

David couldn't resist kissing her slightly trembling lips, engaging in a passionate tongue kiss.

Half an hour later, both of them were panting heavily, leaning on the sofa.

David held Nova, still feeling like he was dreaming.

"Nova, why do I feel like you're gentle today? Is something going on?" he asked.

Nova, lying on his chest, replied, "Nothing, I just missed you and came to see you. By the way, can you get me some drugs that make men uncontrollably aroused? I need them, and you know what I mean."

David, with a jealous look, said, "Who do you want this for? Could it be for Zachary..."

Before he could finish, Nova slapped him.

She sat up, cleaned herself up, and said casually, "You're just a pet I keep. You can't get to interfere with my decisions."

David's expression was complex. He loved Nova deeply, and even though he was so humble in front of her, he was willing to do anything for her.

"Nova, you know, no one in this world loves you more than I do," he said.

Nova smiled and stepped on his face, with David's eyes just able to see her private parts.

Nova sneered, "If it weren't for that, I would have gotten rid of you myself after that incident five years ago! The only reason you're still with me is that I know you're obedient. And you only follow my orders. Don't disappoint me."

After saying that, Nova didn't look at him again. She stepped over him and went to the bathroom. After all, she had to serve Zachary tonight, how could she not clean up?

When she came out of the shower, the drugs were already on the table, and David was nowhere to be seen.

Nova knew he was jealous and didn't want to see her, but she didn't care. She took the drugs and left.

"I'm leaving. I'll come by when I have time." She knew David was watching her from some room.

After Nova left, David sat on the floor, crying with a mix of resentment and anger in his eyes.

Watching his woman ask for aphrodisiacs to sleep with another man was unbearable.

But there was nothing he could do.

In Zachary's Office of the Jewel Sparkle, Terry handed him a document, "Mr. Hall, the company that contracted the Happy Tots project has run off. I found out that the CEO who contracted the Happy Tots project went out alone with Miss Nova Blair some time ago, and then he..."

After all, Nova was also a CEO and Zachary's woman. As an assistant, he couldn't speak bluntly.

"But there are no transaction records, only a record of Miss Nova Blair withdrawing cash from the bank," Terry added.

Zachary nodded, figuring she might've used cash for the deal. But why did that CEO bail?

Something smelled fishy.

Terry continued, "Oh, and Mr. Hall, we also dug up some info on Stelln Jewel. Turns out, Stelln Jewel is Alice. Her mom was a big name in jewelry design, known as Radiant Heart."

Terry added, "Jewel Sparkle was started by Alice's mom. Before she passed, she wanted to leave the company to Alice, and James was on board. But at that time, all the shares were in his hands. James planned to hand the company over to Alice, but then that incident five years ago happened..."

No need to spell it out; Zachary knew the details better than anyone.

That incident had caused quite a stir back then.

Zachary frowned slightly and waved Terry away.

After getting back to the office, the first thing Nova did was make a cup of coffee for Zachary.

As she arrived, Terry was just leaving. He greeted her politely and left.

"Zachary, you must be tired. I made you a cup of coffee," Nova said sweetly.

She placed the coffee in front of Zachary, who picked it up and drank it under her expectant gaze.

Just as he was about to take a sip, he seemed to remember something and put the coffee down. He said to Nova, "Bring me the contract and transaction records for the Happy Tots project."

Nova, who had been eager to see him drink the coffee, was startled by his request. She stammered a response and hurriedly left, needing to call Olivia for help.

Zachary didn't notice Nova's unusual behavior.

He couldn't help but ponder, what was Alice's real purpose for coming back?

Did she aim to take over the company?

But Jewel Sparkle was on the brink of bankruptcy. If it weren't for his support, the company would have already gone through liquidation.

Could it be for money?

If it were for money, why would she insist on asking for Nova to apologize? He had offered to double her salary, but she didn't accept. It couldn't be for money.

Did she aim to get revenge against Nova?

As far as he knew, nothing significant had happened between them, or was there something he didn't know about?

Analyzing it carefully, Zachary still felt that Alice was most likely after the company.

But he didn't really care about that. He just wanted to see if she had the ability to revive Jewel Sparkle.

Zachary didn't even realize how much he was focusing on Alice.

Lost in thought, the coffee beside him gradually cooled.

He had a lot to handle every day, so he told Terry he wouldn't be going home tonight and let him leave early.

Seeing Terry leave, Nova couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph.

The drug David had found for her would take effect four hours after ingestion.

She had planned to follow Zachary home, sleep with him there, and then make sure the Hall family found out the next day. That way, she could be with Zachary openly.

After all, if Zachary slept with her at his home, the Hall family would have to acknowledge her.

Although there had been some deviations, things were still acceptable overall.

Even at the company, as long as they slept together, she could rightfully demand recognition from the Hall family.

Thinking of this, Nova praised herself for being clever.

In the afternoon, she had called Olivia, who told her not to worry. Once the drug took effect and she slept with Zachary, everything would be under her control.

Nova put on the lingerie she had prepared, wore stockings on her lower half, and draped a blazer over her upper half before appearing in Zachary's office.

Zachary was startled by Nova's sudden appearance. Before he could say anything, Nova tossed the blazer aside, kicked off her high heels, and exposed her smooth, beautiful skin to the air.

She walked seductively towards Zachary, glancing at the coffee to confirm it was finished, which made her even bolder.

Unbeknownst to her, Zachary had simply poured out the drugged cold coffee and made himself a fresh hot cup.

Seeing Zachary's surprised expression, Nova thought he was deeply captivated by her. She smiled seductively, walked up to him, and caressed his face, her other hand moving downward, aiming for his crotch.

As she leaned in closer, just as they were about to kiss!
