"When did you learn this? I didn't know it before.”

Derek thought it was Meredith, and she was trying to relieve the tension between the two of them, so his tone was rarely softened.

Nova was secretly pleased. "Mr. Xavier, I've learned it before. If you like, I can massage you every day."

Derek suddenly opened his eyes. The voice was clearly not the person he thought it was.

The face in front of him was not Meredith, but... Nova?

Through the window, Derek could only see the back of Meredith leaving quickly. For a moment, he was a little anxious.

"Who allowed you to come to the top floor? Get out.”

Derek was furious that he had been tricked. He pushed the woman behind him away. Nova fell to the ground and landed on her backside. It hurt so much that she couldn't get up. Paleness and embarrassment appeared on her face. She indeed looked embarrassed.

"Bo... Boss, I didn't mean to. I came to deliver the documents. I saw that you didn't feel well, so..." Nova was frightened by Derek's angry expression. She thought that all men liked women's gentle service, but she didn't expect this situation.

"Who needs you to meddle?" Derek hated the behavior of using work as an excuse to seduce the boss. "Work is work. Don't expect me to look at you with new eyes even though I let you work in the Xavier Group. If I ever find out you're doing something indecent again, get out of here.”

Nova was stunned by the scolding. Derek spoke without any mercy and ruined her dignity.

"You're not going out yet? In the future, you're not allowed to step into the top floor. If I see you again here, you'll be fired.”

Derek was annoyed when he saw her, and he rushed her out without any hesitation.

Of course, Nova did not dare to stay. This was the first time she had seen Derek lose his temper. She had no intention of continuing seducing him. She even forgot to take the documents and just ran out awkwardly. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Derek walked out, only to find that Meredith had left the top floor, not knowing where she went. Meredith was afraid of disturbing their good time, so she ran to the roof where the warm sunshine shined on her body, making her feel warm.

Thinking of Derek's enjoyment, Meredith snorted coldly. Men...Men were the most unreliable things in the world

Even a man like Derek could not resist the temptation of the charming woman.

She shook her head and laughed at herself. Even when they were a couple, she had no right to care about this kind of thing, not to mention that they were divorced now.

It would be better for her not to take herself too seriously.

Meredith stayed on the roof for a while and left for feeling a little cold. She was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see, so she bypassed the top floor.

Unexpectedly, she had just come downstairs when she met Derek.

"Where did you go just now?"

The man's tone was gloomy. He had just chased Nova away and wanted to find Meredith, but she was nowhere to be found.

Meredith looked at the man's unhappy face and wondered if Derek was afraid that she would see something she shouldn't see and then go out and talk too much.

"Don’t worry, I'm tight-lipped. I won't talk nonsense to others."

Meredith immediately assured her that she was not interested in getting involved in the affair between the two of them.

However, Derek was quite annoyed to hear her words.

Even Derek couldn't find the slightest fault in Meredith's words, he was angry for this sense of alienation.

"I just...”

Before Derek could finish, Meredith interrupted him.

"I didn't see anything just now."

She would pretend to have seen nothing, when she had seen something she shouldn't have seen. "Meredith..." Derek gritted his teeth.

He wanted to explain. With his personality, he never bothered to explain to anyone. In the end, Meredith's words made him feel like he was being poured cold water.

She obviously didn't care. Since she didn't care, why did he explain it?

It was not his style to be sentimental.

"Then remember what you just said. I don't want to hear rumors in the company.”

Derek brushed past Meredith with that indifferent words

When he left, the nerve that tightened in Meredith's heart loosened. According to Xavier's words, Meredith thought Derek was only in such a hurry after they indeed had really done something just now.

A sour feeling welled up in her heart, but she quickly shook her head. It must have been because she was pregnant and was prone to woolgather. How could she be sad about Derek's affairs?

For the next few days, Derek wasn't at the company. He might go on a business trip or just have a date with some beautiful women.

Meredith had no intention to care what he did. She could relax without him.

Soon, the morning passed again. Meredith got up and went to the company canteen to have lunch. She was eating and suddenly a person sat opposite her.

Because Meredith was pregnant, she would throw up occasionally while eating, so she usually went to a corner where no one paid attention to and ate alone, lest she suddenly felt uncomfortable and disturbed the mood of others.

So, when there was another person, she was a little surprised. She looked up, founding it was Nova. Seeing her, Meredith felt strange. Derek's new lover came to look for her, making her feel like she was being visited by a mistress.

Meredith threw several glances at her. Nova was not very beautiful. However, her clothes and makeup made up for her weakness. She had bought a lot of clothes with high-level brands and expensive cosmetics. With these things, she was not extremely charming, but she was also pretty beautiful.

"Meredith, how do you feel about working on the top floor? Are you tired?"

Certainly, Nova didn't come here to greet Meredith. It was because the last time her rash action made Derek a little disgusted with her, and she didn't dare to act rashly again.

However, when Nova heard that Meredith was just a handy woman, but she was free to go in and out of the top floor, Nova couldn't help but want to consult her.

"Not bad. What's wrong?" Meredith slowly ate the food in the bowl and answered absent-mindedly. "Actually, I... I have been loving Mr. Xavier for a long time. I came to the Xavier Group for him. So I want you to make my wish come true, okay?"

Nova took Meredith's hand and looked intimate. "After all, we didn't know each other at first, but I helped you, didn't 1?"

Meredith suddenly felt that the food in her mouth had no taste. Nova's words made her feel like something stuck in her throat.

"I don't think I can help you with this kind of thing. What we did was a deal back then, and our relationship is over now. There's no need to mention it as if you gave me a big favor.”

Meredith refused directly. Seeing that she disagreed, Nova's expression twisted slightly. "Meredith, you don't want to help me. You do also like Mr. Xavier, don't you?"
