Chapter 294
“Mr. York.” Nina nodded in acknowledgment as she greeted him.
However, Mr. York did not respond. Instead, he walked steadily toward her, his imposing figure casting a strong sense of pressure over Nina. His expression was tense.
Nina did not understand his current demeanor until he furrowed his brows and asked, “Nina, why did you help me?”
He had heard from Quincy. He knew about Nina’s plan, how she swiftly orchestrated everything, ensuring his quick release and exposing the schemes of Clement and Paris.
He clearly told her not to go, but she went anyway and acted so swiftly. Was it out of concern for him or afraid that something might happen to him?
Nina had not expected Mr. York to question her like this. Though momentarily taken aback, she quickly responded, “Mr. York, I’m your secretary. As long as I’m with York Corporation, I’ll always help you through thick and thin.”
Her tone was calm, devoid of any extra emotion, her clear eyes revealing nothing.
A hint of sarcasm tugged at Mr. York’s lips. “Well, then you’re certainly a loyal employee.”
“Not at all,” Nina replied, bowing her head.
Her demeanor fueled Mr. York’s growing anger. She and Zac were secretly meeting and enjoying each other’s company. Yet here she was, in front of him, with a cold and distant attitude.
“Nina, you’re an employee of York Corporation. As you said, this is what you should do!” With that, Mr. York left for his office.
His words carried a clear message, one that Nina understood well. He was reminding her not to entertain any illusions, thinking she could exchange her actions for something.
Nina felt a heavy heart. What could she use this for in exchange?
If she had a real purpose, she would have brought it up the moment she laid eyes on him. But it was fortunate, at least she could assist him.
The moment Nash stepped into his office, he lit a cigarette. After chain-smoking three cigarettes, he called Quincy, “Conduct a thorough screening of the entire York Corporation. I won’t tolerate any traitor!” “Understood,” Quincy replied promptly.
Nash left the office without even sparing a glance at Nina’s workstation.
Forty minutes later, Nash appeared at the largest entertainment club in the city. Caleb, Hunter, and Ben were already there.
Spotting him, Ben quipped, “Why are you alone? Where’s your lovely wife?”
Caleb and Hunter had heard about what Nina had done for Nash today from Ben. They also knew about Nash’s instructions to Ben.
Seeing Nash’s mood, Hunter shook his head, “As I suspected from the start, you’ve fallen for her.”
Caleb added, “What’s there to fear? If you like her, just be honest. Having feelings for each other is a good thing for you both. Have a kid soon. It’ll strengthen your bond. By then, who needs a divorce? You might even have to plan a grand wedding!”
Nash was already irritated, and their words only made matters worse. All Nina could think about was leaving early to be with Zac. He stayed quiet, drowning his frustration in alcohol.
Ben exchanged a glance with Caleb, who immediately joined Hunter in pouring more drinks for Nash.
Eventually, Nash slumped onto the couch, and Caleb retrieved Nash’s phone from his pocket, immediately calling Nina, “Nina, Nash is drunk.”
Nina did not respond, but there was not a long silence on the other end either.
In a hoarse voice, Nina asked, “Where are you?”
