Nash didnât view if that way. Several chance encounters couldnât simply be dismissed as coincidences; there was more to it than meets the eye.
Ninaâs seemingly genuine joy each time they crossed paths only made it even harder to explain.
âOh, Mr. York is here too!â Wallace, oblivious to any underlying tension, greeted Nash warmly. âSince everyoneâs here, letâs head to the restaurant. Iâll treat you all to a feast.â Nash nodded at Wallace but kept his words to a minimum.
After several interactions, Wallace had gleaned some insight into Nashâs demeanor â reserved, decisive, not one for small talk â so he didnât so he didnât press further. Scott, gesturing towards the car, said, âPlease, Mr. York.
With a stern expression, Nash got into the car without uttering a word. He didnât acknowledge Nina, curious to see if she would react on her own.
Quincy was tactful. He glanced at Nina and offered them a way out, âNina, why donât you sit next to Mr. York?â
Aware of Nashâs discontent, Quincy didnât want Nina to exacerbate the situation, which could cause complications later on.
Nina, taking the hint, understood the need to tread carefully with Nash present. Without hesitation, she got into his car.
As Quincy drove, the atmosphere remained unusually tense.
Nashâs tone was icy as he remarked, âEven when you take time off, you manage to coincidentally encounter an old classmate. Why not ride with your classmate?â
Nina found his words peculiar, infused with a hint of bitterness. She glanced at Nash, whose demeanor exuded coldness. âWith Mr. Wallace here, knowing that Iâm your secretary, it would seem odd if I didnât IL WI you!â
âHe also knows you and Scott are old classmates. Is that still odd?â Nash countered.
Nina bit her lip, sensing Nashâs disapproval. He seemed to find fault with everything, so she chose to back down and reopened the car door. âThen Iâll ride with Scott.â
Nashâs expression immediately darkened.
Fortunately, Quincy was quick to react. He locked the car door and stepped on the gas pedal to stop Ninaâs attempt to exit.
Unable to leave the car, Nina ceased her struggle.
A fire simmered in Nashâs chest, unable to find an outlet, leaving him in a state of restless agitation.
He couldnât comprehend why Nina seemed to intentionally provoke him lately, causing his emotions to fluctuate.
As Nina sat in the car, her gaze fixed ahead, her mind trailed Nash.
It was a habit she had developed as his secretary.
However, now more than ever, she had to be vigilant of his actions to avoid unnecessary. trouble.
After a while, Nina finally inquired with concern, âHave you checked into that woman, Mr. York?â
Nash responded coldly, âIsnât that your responsibility?â
Hadnât he looked into it personally? Did he believe it was better to delegate it to her? But did he trust her?
Nina became more proactive. âIâve
already started probing. Actually, I wasnât at the office today specifically to investigate that
woman for you, Mr. York. Rest
assured, as long as you give mel.net
time, I definitely find out and provide you with a satisfactory explanation!â Her proactive
approach, however, only seemed to further irk Nash, as if she couldnât wait to get rid of him immediately.
She wasnât just his secretary; she was also his wife. Was there really such a rush?
His expression darkened immediately, and he asked menacingly, âNina, are you help me find this woman?
