Chapter 57 The Art Exhibition
Coming out of the president office, Nova happened to ran into Ewan who was coming here. She glanced at him, without stopping, and went straight to her office.
Ewan stopped in place for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally called her name.
"Nova! Please stop."
Nova stopped and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Her indifferent look made him feel like something stuck in his heart, which was particularly uncomfortable.
"Will you go to the art exhibition this weekend?"
"Yes."
She gave a simple answer.
He seemed to be relieved suddenly, with a smile on his mouth.
"Then I pick you up tomorrow?"
Nova suddenly frowned, and then coldly said, "No need. I have a car."
"Wait!"
Ewan suddenly stretched out to grab her hand, then frowned.
"Why is your hand so cold?"
He wrapped her hands with his hands, and ironed her hands with warmth, but Nova felt disgusted in her heart suddenly, and she drew her hands back vigorously, coldly said, "Ewan, remember who you are." Ewan became stiff, and then he realized what he had done. Seeing her disgusted expression on the face, Ewan felt that his heart seemed to be twisted hard by something.
"Do you realize that Ella looks a lot like Nova?"
His mother's words seemed to be still in his ears. He began to wonder why he liked Ella. When in a silence, they looked very like each other, but Ella was lively and energetic, and smiled every day, which seemed to be the other version of Nova that he longed for in his heart.
Ewan felt his heart tremble suddenly, he pressed his lips together tightly, and said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry for being rude."
Nova glanced at him indifferently, turned and walked without hesitation. Ewan looked at her back and couldn't help closing his eyes, thinking what was wrong with him.
Back at the office, Nova wanted to find the newspaper again, but found that it was gone. After asking Katie, she knew that it had been thrown away.
"Miss Graham, there should be more downstairs, I'll get you another one."
"No need." Nova shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
"Mr. Chapman called just now, would you like to call back?" After a while, Katie said.
Hearing this, Nova's expression became gentle. She said, "I see. Go back to your work."
"Yes."

"Mr. Chapman, are you really not going?"
Eric looked at the invitation card that was thrown away casually. He was a little surprised. He couldn't figure out Jason's thoughts now. Over the years, he has been in contact with Miss Evans. He originally thought she was the person that Jason liked, but when Jason returned to China, he met Miss Graham quickly and was very fascinated by her. He also proposed to marry her. This was something he had never done for Miss Evans. Eric began to make sure that Jason liked Miss Graham, but he somewhat doubted whether Jason was confused by the beauty temporarily since that Jason and Miss Evans had known each other for many years, while it seemed that Jason have only known Ms. Graham for a few months. However, this time, it was unexpected.
"Why should I go?"
Jason narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about me, Ewan?"
Eric shrank his neck, pursed his lips, and coughed, "I wouldn't dare."
"I just want to tell you that Miss Graham might go."
Jason looked at him suspiciously, not believing it. Eric just helped his glasses and left with the invitation.
As soon as he left, the phone at the table rang.
"Hello?"
Jason's low voice came into her ears slowly, and Nova smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's me."
"Nova?"
Jason changed her tone abruptly. Nova could almost foresee how excited he was that he would stand up holding the phone.
"What's the matter? Do you have encountered difficulties or do you miss me?"
Nova cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to participate in an art exhibition this weekend. If you have anything to do, wait until I'm finished there to contact me."
"Art exhibition?" Jason frowned, "Can't you not go?"
"No, I can't."
After Nova finished saying, she felt that it seemed too unkind to say that, and then explained, "I will be right back."
Jason was surprised then smiled, "I'm free this weekend, let me go with you."
Nova asked, "You are not going to accompany Elliot to the playground?"
"Let Simon go, I'll accompany you."
Nova felt warm in her heart and said in a gentle tone, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jason ran out and asked, "Where is the invitation?"
Seeing Jason looked at him eagerly, Eric pretended to be surprised, "I thought you are not going."
Jason gritted his teeth, "Why are you kidding so much nonsense!"
Eric smiled, and then took out the invitation card from his pocket. Jason immediately grabbed it held it in his arms like a treasure Then he felt that his action was a bit silly and coughed, "What are you looking at? Go back to work!"
The Evans family organized a grand
exhibition for Isabelle after she returned back home. Those who
came to participate in the exhibition. were all people with great reputation. When Nova and Jason entered the venue hand in hand, the lights gathered in them instantly. Nova frowned uncomfortably At this time, she was exposed to the media as his fiancée for the first time in public. The reporters naturally took the photos of them. The Evans family had a great power, and no one dare to make trouble to this occasion. So, they took the photo, and didn't asked more. Sometimes someone came to give a polite greeting and didn't talk much.
"Mr. Chapman, you are really young and promising. There are many talents from the Chapman family."
"Miss Graham and Mr. Chapman are really a match made in heaven."
"Jason, when you have a wedding, remember to invite us over."
Jason was able to deal with all kinds of conversation easily, but Nova was a little uncomfortable, and gently pushed him. He immediately understood and smiled, "The exhibition is about to begin, so I'm afraid that we have to go."
After speaking, he nodded politely, and walked out with Nova.
"You don't like it?" He asked.
"You don't need to accompany me, I don't like too many people."
"I don't like it either."
After he said, he smiled and added, "You don't like it, then I don't like it either."
Nova flushed slightly, avoiding his scorching eyes, and cast her eyes elsewhere without focusing.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure, and then she recognized her.
Jason was admiring her shy appearance, and was suddenly pushed away by her, and then watched her walked away.
Jason scolded in a low voice and quickly followed.
Nova came closer and couldn't help but yelled.
