Chapter 300
Stella walked up to Nina with a smile on her face, a stark contrast to yesterday’s demeanor. Nina could only respond with a smile, “No problem, Cynthia, come and greet our business partner.” Even though Stella’s attitude had improved significantly since yesterday, Nina still wanted to introduce Cynthia to her. Despite Stella’s inner displeasure, she remained composed outwardly. “Is Nina training new staff recently?” Stella inquired, noticing the arrival of both Serene and now Cynthia. With Nash still nowhere in sight, Stella was growing increasingly dissatisfied, but she restrained herself from expressing it.
Nina replied, “Is Miss Jasper worried about delays in our cooperation? Rest assured. All agreements will be reviewed personally by Mr. York.”
“Then let’s discuss matters at the York Corporation. Nina, what are your thoughts on the proposed cooperation plan?” Stella redirected the conversation.
After Nina left, Stella learned that Nina had been Nash’s secretary for seven years and she intended to use her as an entry point to see him, but Stella had not anticipated Nina to come today.
Nina smiled and remarked, “The cooperation proposal suggested by Jasper Corporation, in my opinion, seems rather questionable. What does it mean to sign a contract and receive 20% payment daily starting 15 days later?”
Serene had only been responsible for escorting Jasper Corporation’s representative during her previous visit, so she had not seen the contract yet. However, today, with Cynthia in tow, she had reviewed it. Now that Stella had brought it up, Nina felt compelled to clarify.
Stella smirked, “Because this is our first cooperation. Besides, Nina, didn’t you read the contract carefully? The third-to-last clause states that the full payment will be made at the end of one month.”
Nina maintained her smile and spoke in the gentlest tone, delivering the most direct message, “Miss Jasper, cooperation doesn’t work like that. It’s either a deposit on the first day of contract signing or a scheduled payment plan. There’s an issue with the cooperation plan you’ve proposed.”
Stella’s expression changed, her tone turning cold, “If Mr. York hasn’t raised any issues, what right does a mere secretary like you have to meddle? Tell Mr. York that I’m coming to see him right now!” Stella’s overbearing reprimand contrasted sharply with Nina’s calm demeanor. The fact that Nash had assigned both Serene and Cynthia to deal with Jasper Corporation’s cooperation indicated the significance he attached to it.
Nina did as Stella demanded and called Nash. His response was curt, “What’s the matter?”
“Miss Jasper from Jasper Corporation is on her way to York Corporation. There’s an issue with her cooperation plan,” Nina explained the problem she had found to Nash in detail.
Nash was at York Corporation at the moment. A cold sneer crept across his lips, but he did not say a word to Nina.
Undeterred, Nina rushed to York Corporation, arriving ahead of Stella. She left Cynthia at the reception and headed to the CEO’s office.
Nash did not acknowledge her words, but Nina was certain he had heard her. Until he officially terminated her employment, she would continue to perform her duties diligently.
She prepared tea in advance. While Cynthia escorted Stella, Nina brewed tea to offer her. However, as she handed the tea to Stella, it spilled over her hand.
“Ah!” Stella cried out sharply, accusing Nina, “Nina, the cooperation proposal was agreed upon by both parties. If Mr. York isn’t satisfied, he can address it. You, as a secretary, brought it up, and now that I’ve countered, you’re holding a grudge against me?”
