Chapter 123
The more she thought about it, the more Linda felt it was true.
When Nina had second thoughts and chose not to bring her back, it was evident that she didn’t want anyone else around Nash to affect her position. No wonder she changed. She liked Nash and wouldn’t allow other women to like him. That’s why she said those words to her.
Linda thought that if she hadn’t come on her own, Nash probably would have never found out that she was the woman he slept with that night. Nina would find a way to cover up this news and send her away. Initially, Linda indeed didn’t think that much. In her first time under such circumstances, she was nervous and scared. Her only thought was not to hold the other party responsible.
She knew Nash was looking for her and didn’t want to cause trouble, so she just wanted to say goodbye properly.
But Nash was very kind and gentle to her, and he kept her by his side, making her feel cared for. That was why she was willing to stay.
Her staying might be seen as a threat to Nina.
Nash received an urgent call and, after hanging up, he told Nina, “I have something to attend to and need to go out for a while. Finish the milk, and if you’re tired, go back. Don’t overwork yourself today.” “Okay, got it.”
With a light response, Nash didn’t even look at Linda or bid her farewell before heading out. His car gradually left from the doorway.
Watching Nash leave without a word to her, Linda’s face turned pale, and she felt uncomfortable. It seemed like things had changed again. At first, she was in his eyes, but when Nina appeared, she was no longer there.
Linda wondered what Nina had said to Nash to make him change like this. She looked at Nina again.
Nina drank the warm milk from the cup slowly. With her pregnancy, her sense of smell had become very sensitive, and she could detect a hint of an odd smell in the milk. Even the warm milk didn’t taste good anymore.
However, Nash was right; she needed to take care of herself and avoid low blood sugar. It wasn’t good for her or the baby. Despite her lack of appetite and the nausea she felt towards food, she forced herself to swallow it down.
Keeping her head low, she sensed someone’s gaze on her. Raising her eyes, she saw Linda staring at her intently, with many doubts about her presence.
Setting the cup on the table, Nina inquired, “Is there something on your mind as you’re staring at me?”
Linda didn’t want to suspect her intentions, considering Nina was the first person she had become close to here. She even thought that Nina’s appearance had changed her fate; otherwise, she would never have been able to turn her life around.
She should be grateful to Nina. But lacking trust between people, she couldn’t fully believe her, and she was also wary of her. “There is. You seem unwell, vomiting so severely.”
“My stomach isn’t feeling well,” Nina brushed it off casually.
Linda continued, “Mr. York seems to treat you very well and knows you very well. It’s rare to have a boss like Mr. York who cares so much about the employees.”
This made Nina pause for a moment, but she didn’t offer an explanation.
Linda noticed this and pressed further, “You’ve been by Mr. York’s side for so many years. It must have been a long time. After being with him for so long without leaving, wouldn’t you develop feelings?” She was trying to test Nina.
Nina raised her eyes to look at Linda again. The way she spoke today was different, as if she was eagerly awaiting her answer. Delving into her private matters was crossing a line.
Nina’s expression remained calm, but her tone was icy, “These aren’t questions you should be asking, and I don’t need to answer them.”
