Chapter 336

He bombarded her with questions, leaving Nina unsure which one to answer. “I just got a minor injury, nothing serious,” she mentioned, spotting Taylor and the other onlookers. Despite Nash disregarding the
stares, Nina felt a tad worried and quickly stepped out of his embrace.
“Why didn’t you pick up the phone?” Nash frowned, still concerned, and pressed on, “What happened?”
His gaze shifted to Eve, realizing she was present.
Eve felt quite embarrassed, calling out, “Nash…”
She hesitated, “Nina saved me. I already feel guilty, I hope you won’t blame me.”
She never imagined Nina would step in to save her.
Encountering those people was so dangerous, and she had offended Nina before. She assumed even if a stranger had intervened, Nina would have just given her a cold look.
Nina’s rescue left her overwhelmed with guilt. She deeply regretted her past actions.
Nina was not as unapproachable as some made her out to be, nor was she a bad person.
Eve was also feeling frustrated, hoping Nash would not lay blame on her. She was determined never to let such a situation occur again.
“Saved you?” Nash’s gaze shifted between them, seeing their disheveled state as they returned in a police car. He furrowed his brows once more. “You go out to have fun and then end up in danger. Why didn’t you bring bodyguards?”
“I…” Eve had not anticipated ending up in such a situation. “I was with a friend.”
“Which friend?”
“Stella.”
Nash pursed his lips and asked, “Where is she?”
“I don’t know,” Eve replied.
Nash’s tone turned cold. “You go out to hang with her but when you end up in trouble, she disappears, and then Nina has to step in to save you.”
Eve’s eyes welled up with tears at his words.
Nina interjected, “If you were in that situation, would you just stand by?”
“What kind of danger did you encounter?” Nash persisted.
Eve recounted the whole ordeal.
Nash’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he looked at Nina with genuine concern.
“I’m sorry,” Eve apologized, still shaken, her eyes welling up once again. “I didn’t mean to worry you.”
Nash didn’t say much in front of Eve. Seeing her distressed, he said, “Quincy, take Eve to freshen up first.”
“Okay,” Quincy said. “Miss Eve, please come this way.”
“Okay,” Eve nodded, dejectedly following him.
Nash glanced at Nina, his tone serious. “Did you notice that I called you?”
Nina’s phone had been on silent. Nash brought it up, prompting her to check her phone, revealing over a dozen missed calls.
“My phone was on silent. It was an emergency situation, I didn’t realize. I’m sorry about that,” Nina explained, unaware of the missed calls.
Nash only knew she had gone out. Not seeing her return for so long, he felt uneasy.
Her lack of response to the calls confirmed his suspicions. He had been on the verge of going out to look for her. Then she returned, her face marked with abrasions. Nash’s tone remained serious. “Next time, turn up the volume so you don’t miss it.”
“I understand.”
They both went inside.
But Nash was still unhappy, his eyes fixed on her.
Noticing his gaze, Nina asked, “Is there something on my face?”
With his hands in his pockets and an icy expression, Nash did not respond right away. Instead, he strode past her into the office.
Nina followed behind, sensing he had something on his mind.
Once seated, Nash turned to her, his tone stern. “Nina, do you understand the concept of danger?”
Nina nodded. “Yes, today’s situation was definitely dangerous.”
