“I’m sorry, Mr. York. It was my fault today for not intervening in time, causing you discomfort. I’ll make sure to avoid such occurrences in the future.” Nina quickly apologized, fearing his anger might escalate into a big issue.
She apologized promptly and didn’t argue back, prompting Nash to comment again, “You realize your mistake quickly. Now, let me ask you, was it in the interest of the company or personal reasons?” Her actions just now were indeed driven by personal feelings. She might have felt upset, but she remained silent.
Nina responded, “Of course, it’s in the interest of the company. As long as I serve as your secretary, I must be accountable for my actions. Mr. York, you can dock my salary, I won’t complain.”
Mr. York was suddenly speechless, visibly displeased. Yet, he couldn’t pinpoint any fault. And he didn’t bother to do so.
Mr. York pursed his lips, his expression darkening instantly. He released her, distancing himself as if their conversation had never happened.
Nina felt relieved, thinking she had passed the test, but she noticed Mr. York’s expression turning even darker. Adhering to her duties as a secretary, she cautiously probed, “Mr. York, aren’t you coming in? You haven’t eaten much, are you hungry?”
Mr. York replied coldly, “Call Quincy and let’s go home now!”
Perhaps the incident with Miss Wallace had worsened his mood further. He was always unpredictable, making it difficult to gauge his emotions. Nina didn’t dwell on it and promptly called Quincy, urging him to come out.
Meanwhile, she received a message from Scott, expressing concern about her prolonged absence. She reassured him of her safety and mentioned heading home soon.
Scott responded with a simple, “Take care.”
Nina found it odd that while Scott maintained a distance, he was also attentive and caring. It was a comfortable position she found herself in. The sensation was peculiar, like he knew something without explicitly stating it.
Seeing her texting, Mr. York’s expression soured further as he inquired, “What were you Scott whispering about at the dinner table?”
Nina was caught off guard by the sudden questioning. She hadn’t fully processed Scott’s confession to her, and now Mr. York was pressing her again.

She didn’t want to disclose, deliberately hiding the truth: “We just talked about some memories from our school days, exchanged a few words, nothing serious.” Mr. York coldly mocked, “You remember things from over a decade ago so clearly. Your memory is quite impressive.”

Nina hesitated for a moment, lowering her gaze and unconsciously tightening her grip: “Can events from over a decade ago be forgotten so easily by you?” “It depends on what it is,” Mr. York replied indifferently.
Nina continued, “If we rewind to over a decade ago, do you remember any significant events?”
Mr. York furrowed his brows slightly, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and nonchalantly replied, “It’s been over a decade, I’d rather not remember.”
Nina turned to gaze at his impeccably handsome face, With his eyes closed, he breathed steadily, seemingly not taking her words to heart or wanting to reminisce. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but think that he had changed a lot. He was completely different from the young man she remembered.
She believed that the present Mr. York, if taken back over a decade, would not interfere much, nor would he come to her rescue. But ironically, that person was him. Perhaps for him, saving her was just an ordinary and forgettable past event.
Nina leaned her head against the seat, a bitter smile on her lips. Why was it so unforgettable for her? She survived because of her obsession with finding him.
“Nina.”
Nina squinted for a moment, hearing someone calling her.
