Chapter 284
Nina was not pleased, but she had no choice.
“Yes, I’m very happy,” she replied, though her words did not match her true emotions.
Nash had already seen through everything. “Your idea of a better method involves hiring a lawyer, doesn’t it?”
Nina did not deny it. But after a moment of silence, she told Nash, “Mr. York, our paths diverge here.”
She was going to consult with a lawyer. Nash sensed her intentions and was not about to be so kind as to give her a ride.
He simply remarked, “York Corporation has a lot on its plate.”
“Oh,” Nina responded tersely, deciding not to say anything more.
At York Corporation, one went to the CEO’s office while the other returned to their workstation.
Serene was taken aback to see Nina. “Nina, I thought you weren’t coming in today.”
Nina’s attention was drawn by Serene’s voice. Serene looked sharp in her professional attire, especially given Mr. York’s favoritism toward her. Moreover, Nina had brought Serene in, fully aware she would eventually take over her position.
Serene’s words sounded normal, but why did Nina feel so uneasy hearing them? Serene gave off an aura as if she could not wait for Nina to leave!
Nina responded calmly, “It’s not time yet.”
Serene leaned in closer. “Nina, when do you plan to leave? I need to discuss something with you.”
Before Nina could reply, Nash’s icy voice cut in, “Is her departure your concern?”
Serene felt a pang of guilt. She had approached Nina precisely because she knew Nash was headed to the CEO’s office. But Nash had still overheard.
She did not dare meet Nash’s gaze, but she felt compelled to explain, “Mr. York, I meant exactly what I said. I didn’t imply anything else. Please don’t misunderstand.”
She lowered her head, feeling like a child caught red-handed.
Nash did not entertain her explanation. “Leave York Corporation.”
Serene was bewildered. She had simply wanted Nina’s guidance, but had managed to upset Nash instead. She glanced pleadingly at Nina for assistance.
Nina understood but remained silent. She could not intervene in Nash’s decision. What she had not anticipated was that despite Nash’s favorable view of Serene, he still ordered her to leave. It was baffling. Seeing Serene hesitate to leave, Nash scolded her angrily once more, “Get out, I won’t repeat myself!”
Serene felt deeply aggrieved but dared not utter another word. After she left, only Nina and Nash remained in the CEO’s office.
Nina pursed her lips and spoke softly, “I’ll find you a new secretary.”
“Never bring someone like Serene to me again!” Nash’s voice was icy, lacking any warmth, as he addressed Nina’s back directly.
Nina knew Nash was furious. He was indeed angry. Serene’s intentions were so clear, yet Nina showed no reaction at all! Nash could not bring himself to confront her at the moment, fearing he might lose control.
But for Nina, with Nash in the office and Serene gone, the weight of responsibilities now rested squarely on her shoulders, especially since Quincy wasn’t around, and with her pregnancy adding to the load. She hadn’t been at her desk for long before she started feeling overwhelmed. Her eyelids felt heavy, and all she wanted now was to find a bed and get some rest.
“Nina,” Nash called out to her, instantly snapping her out of her daze.
She hurried over to him. “Mr. York, what can I do for you?”
