Chapter 316
Nina said, “Forget it, there’s no need.”
Sometimes she did not understand Nash that well. Whenever they met, he would be somewhat unpredictable. If explanations were something he could listen to, he would not have turned around and left. “Scott, thanks just now.” Regardless, Scott’s appearance helped her out of trouble.
Scott gave a gentle smile, “It was nothing.”
Just as Scott was about to say something else, Nina interjected, “I’m going back to the private room. If you’re free another day, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“I’m free tomorrow afternoon.” Knowing Nina’s offer was just a formality, but he took it seriously.
Nina hesitated for a moment before nodding, “I’ll send you the address tomorrow.”
“Great.” Scott watched Nina leave with a smile.
Though Nash turned around, he was followed by Stella. However, he did not go and watch the fireworks display with Stella. He stopped in his tracks and distanced himself from her, saying, “Miss Jasper, I’m not interested in the fireworks display. If you need someone to accompany you, I’ll have my assistant go with you.”
Stella was taken aback, “Mr. York, didn’t we agree just now…”
“Sorry.” Nash’s face was cold as he turned away from Stella’s astonishment and walked in the opposite direction.
Stella watched Nash’s resolute figure and her face turned livid. She had seen clues between Nash and Nina, thinking Nash would watch the fireworks display with her, giving her a chance to spend time alone with him. But look at this now!
She had been happy for nothing!
Nash called Quincy. After the call connected, he instructed Quincy in a low, stern voice, “Accompany Miss Jasper to the fireworks display and arrange for some people to follow Nina.” “Yes.” Quincy responded promptly.
Nash returned to the car. Since he got in, he had been chain-smoking. The driver could tell something was on his mind, and the atmosphere was so heavy you could cut it with a knife.
Meanwhile, on Nina’s end, she had been waiting in the private room. As the assistant of Stella left and it approached midnight, Nina still had not heard back from Nash, not even a single message on her phone. Clearly, Nash had left her behind.
Considering her position as his secretary, before leaving, she sent him a text message, “Mr. York, I’ve been waiting for you until now. I assume you and Miss Jasper had a good time. I’ll head home now and won’t disturb you anymore.”
As she stepped out of the private room, Nash received a message passed on by his subordinate. At the same time, he also saw the message from Nina. She was still in the private room.
Nash could not help but furrow his brows. Two minutes later, he saw Nina coming out of the bistro. Just as he was about to push the door to get out of the car, a white car pulled up in front of Nina.
In just a few seconds, the white car drove away.
Where was Nina?
As Nash went to open the car door, the veins on the back of his hand visibly bulged.
“Find out whose car that is!” Nash directly dialed a number, his voice cold and heavy. He did not hang up, and his subordinate did not dare to either.
After a moment, his subordinate’s voice came through the phone, “Mr. York, we found out. It’s Scott’s car.”
Nash’s face turned even colder. Wasn’t she supposed to be in the private room? How did she end up with Scott again?
As Nash clenched his teeth in anger, ready to snap at the driver, the driver beat him to it, “Mr. York, I know I shouldn’t overstep, considering my position. But from experience, the key to a strong marriage is mutual understanding and open communication in times of conflict. If both parties remain silent and conceal their emotions, they’ll inevitably drift apart.”
