CHAPTER 112
CEO
The words made Nash stop in his tracks, turning back to look at Quincy. âWhich woman?â
Quincy, as the messenger, felt like he had a knife to his throat.
How did this married couple end up like this? The wife had to help her husband find a one-night stand while the husband kept their marriage hidden from the public. However, there seemed to be feelings involved. He couldnât understand. But caught in the middle like a sandwich cookie, he lived each day on edge.
âItâs⦠the woman you had a one-night stand with.â Quincy felt Nashâs displeasure just by uttering those words.
Nash was still unhappy about Ninaâs rejection yesterday, and she already brought another woman to him today.
Was she so eager?
Did she want to push him away so badly that sheâd be satisfied if he took an interest in another woman?
Nashâs displeased face turned extremely cold and unwelcoming, but he remained composed, saying coldly, âGot it, let her wait!â
When Nina returned and hadnât even set her bag down, Quincy approached her. âNina, Mr. York wants both of you to wait in the lounge for a while!â
âHuh? Both of us?â Nina didnât understand. âQuincy, what are you talking about?â
Seeing her confusion, Quincy pulled her aside and explained, âNina, didnât you bring that woman back?â
Nina seemed to understand again, hoping it wasnât what she thought. Her gaze shifted to the direction of the lounge, and she hurriedly made her way there.
Opening the door, she saw Linda sitting quietly. Linda felt different today. With her long black hair and a blouse paired with a skirt, her innocent and pitiable face made people feel protective.
Linda felt apprehensive; it was her first time in such a tall building. Coming from a rural area, though rural life was convenient nowadays, the urban setting here fascinated her even more. Looking out the window of this tall building, it felt like she was in the cloudsâa sensation she thoroughly enjoyed!
Linda looked around and spotted Nina at the door, then smiled and called out, âMiss Nina.â
Nina frowned, âWhat are you doing here?â
Linda didnât answer right away but asked, âMiss Nina, is this where you work?â
With people around outside, Nina walked in and closed the door. âYes.â
Lindaâs lips curled slightly, with a faint dimple forming, âMiss Nina is impressive. Iâve only seen buildings like this on TV.â
Ninaâs expression turned extremely cold, âYou still havenât answered my question.â
Linda began to clasp her hands tightly and lowered her head, âMiss Nina, I came here on my own this time The person Mr. York wants to find is me, as you mentioned.â
Her words made Ninaâs face even colder, âDidnât I say we donât need you anymore?â
Linda replied, âI said I came here on my own this time, and it has nothing to do with Miss Nina.â
Nina felt a headache coming on and furrowed her brows. She had dug herself a hole this time, âWhat do you want to say?â
âThat day, I did indeed go to that
hotel,â Linda said, âWasnât Miss Nina
looking for the woman to
accompany Mr. York to bed? It was quite urgent for you before, but now you donât need to worry. The woman youâre looking for is actually me!â
Nina was completely shocked. How could she say such a thing, leaving her unable to imagine for a moment?
At the time, Nina had concerns and
was cautious. She didnât explicitly tell tell Linda what to do. In case Linda couldnât be trusted and started spreading rumors, it could backfire on Nina, so she held back and simply mentioned she was looking for a woman.
This wasnât a secret to those who wanted to know, and it showed she had diligently searched. She just hadnât expected Linda to make the first move.
Before she could say anything else, Quincy walked in. Nina hesitated.
Quincy said, âNina, someone requested for your help. They need you to take care of it now.â
