Chapter 285

“Head to the hotel and greet the representatives from Jasper Corporation. Then, sort out the lunch spot for today and set up tonight’s arrangements at the club,” Nash instructed without even bothering to look up.
“Yes.” She could not refuse Nash’s orders.
After getting the hotel address, Nina planned to head to the underground parking lot to get her car. But just as she was about to open the car door, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, startling her. The next moment, she heard Serene’s voice.
“Nina, I’m the one you brought in. Don’t you know me well enough? When I ask those questions, there’s no hidden meaning. I genuinely want your advice. Can you plead my case to Mr. York?” Serene did not want to be dismissed like this. She waited in the parking lot, ready to humble herself in front of Nina, Quincy, or Nash, hoping they would let her stay.
However, Nina was unsympathetic. “Mr. York has already let you go. And you know his temperament. Do you really think he’ll reconsider?”
Nina did not want any conflict with Nash over Serene, nor did she want to be seen as a saint. Besides, Nash’s temperament was clear. Nobody was indispensable to him. Well, except for one person, Miranda. Serene, who had held onto hope, felt utterly defeated by Nina’s words. But she was not ready to give up. “Was it wrong for me to ask? You were very clear when you brought me in, weren’t you?”
“If I don’t clarify things, how am I supposed to make time for my own studies? I’ve been following your notes, Nina. Are you having second thoughts? Do you think I’ve taken your place?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Nina used to have a favorable impression of Serene and acknowledged her capabilities. But now, she had not expected Serene to turn out like this. Nina wanted to avoid any further involvement with Serene. “In Mr. York’s presence, he alone decides who stays and who goes. No one can intervene.”
“Instead of dwelling on such matters, why not focus on how to better yourself, enhance your skills, and earn recognition from others?”
With that, Nina locked Serene out of the car. Though there had not been any outward signs of Nina’s relationship with Nash during Serene’s time at the company, Serene could tell there was something unusua between Nina and Nash. Just now, it was clear that Nash had stood up for Nina!
If she did not restrain herself and did anything to Nina, it would be like signing her own death warrant!
Nina arrived at the hotel in less than an hour. She met with the person in charge from the Jasper Corporation, a very beautiful young woman named Stella Jasper.
In fact, there were two people in charge from the Jasper Corporation. The one Serene had been dealing with before was Steve Jasper, the heir apparent of the Jasper Corporation. Today, Stella had taken over at her own request.
When Stella caught sight of Nina, she wasted no time in reproaching her. “Your York Corporation is constantly changing personnel. Did you bother to inform us? Are we invisible to you at York Corporation?”
Having stood by Nash’s side for years, Nina had witnessed all sorts of situations. Stella’s words did not faze Nina at all. However, Stella was not done. “Let Mr. York come and handle this himself, or else, consider this cooperation terminated!”
