Chapter 100
Nina hesitated for a moment. Perhaps he was more inclined to find this woman himself. Or maybe he was testing her.
Though Nina didn't fully grasp the situation, she had to comply with his wishes. "Mr. York has assigned me tasks, and I will fulfill them, not just this one, but all others as well."
Was her response appropriate? As his secretary, she had to obey his commands, demonstrating her loyalty to him.
There was no hint of sadness on her face, even as she willingly assisted him in locating a woman he had been intimate with. Whether as his wife or secretary, she was exceptionally accommodating. Nash diverted his gaze, his expression icy
his expression icy as he spoke calmly, "You are truly an excellent secretary to rely on."
Initially tense, Nina relaxed upon hearing his praise, responding formally, "It's my duty, and I'll continue to do my best in the future."
Listening to their exchange, Quincy found it absurd. Without context, it sounded like a subordinate reporting work. With context, it felt like a futile game. They were missing the point entirely.
Quincy understood Nash's implication. As a married couple, Nina's willingness to find another woman for him indicated she wasn't jealous or didn't care about him. However, Nash didn't appreciate her indifference.
The two are not on the Sale:
Quincy didn't dare to speak, fearing he might say the wrong thing and face consequences.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"You don't have to worry so much, Nina!" Nash said sternly, his face darkening.
Throughout the journey, not a single word was exchanged. Nevertheless, Quincy sensed a weighty tension, causing him to hold his breath and drive with caution.
Upon arriving at the restaurant and stepping out of the vehicle, Wallace warmly engaged in conversation with them.
Meanwhile, Scott's attention remained fixed on Nina. He draped his coat over her shoulders, remarking, "The evening's getting chilly. You shouldn't catch a cold."
Nina was taken aback, glancing at the coat on her shoulders before quickly removing it. "It's okay, I'm not cold," she insisted.
"Girls should stay warm. Please keep it on," Scott insisted, offering a faint smile before
walking ahead, maintaining a distance from her.
Observing this, Wallace chuckled and turned to Nash. "Mr. York, it seems my student is trying to steal your staff away."
Nash pursed his lips, his gaze cold as he silently observed their intimate interaction.
Wallace believed they were both mature and well-suited, suggesting it was time they started dating and settled down. "Nina, you don't have a boyfriend yet, do you?" he inquired. Nina glanced at Nash before responding, "Not yet."
Turning to Scott, Wallace continued, "Nina doesn't have a boyfriend yet. You better make your move and win her over."
This sudden turn of events caught Nina off guard. Just moments ago, she had clarified to Scott not to misunderstand her father's intentions, but now she found herself being set up by Wallace. She quickly interjected, "Mr. Wallace, Scott, he has..."
"Alright, I'll do my best," Scott interrupted.
Nina was about to bring up the fact that Scott had feelings for someone else, but his response caught her off guard. What did he mean by that?
She met Scott's gaze, and he returned it with a gentle smile, seemingly affirming his sincerity. Nina was utterly puzzled. Could Scott genuinely have feelings for her?
Nash's expression grew darker as he perceived a threat. "Mr. Wallace, this isn't the appropriate time for such discussions. Instead of playing matchmaker, it's important to consider the feelings of both parties. One may have feelings for the other, but the other may not feel the came way!"
