Moreover, he had only recently returned to the country, which made the situation even more unlikely.

Nina matched his pace as they walked side by side.

Scott relished the feeling of walking with her, a subtle smile adorning his lips.

However, their tranquil moment was abruptly interrupted by a passing car.

As the vehicle approached directly towards them, Scott, fearing it might collide with Nina, instinctively moved to push her to the side, walking along the outer edge of the road. This scene unfolded directly in front of Nash, who observed it through the rearview mirror.

“Mr. York, Nina is also here, accompanied by a man,” Quincy noticed through the rearview mirror and felt compelled to alert Nash.

Nash’s frosty gaze locked onto Quincy.

Initially, Quincy hadn’t fully grasped the situation, but Nash’s demeanor made it clear that this was not a favorable development.

He mentally berated himself for his oversight.

Men’s possessiveness and selfishness often couldn’t tolerate their women being in company of other men.

And he had just brought it up right in front of Nash.

the

Nash’s gaze in the rearview mirror caught sight of the man and woman walking side by side, looking quite cozy, almost like a couple.

He noticed Scott’s eyes fixed on Nina, as if completely absorbed by her, his gaze narrowing, growing even colder. “Did Nina leave work early today?” he inquired in a frosty tone. Quincy replied, not very confidently, “Um… yes.”

Leaving early just to meet Scott.

Nash clenched his jaw tightly, withdrew his gaze, and coldly ordered, “I’m getting

out!

Quincy hurried to open the car door for Nash.

Nash adjusted his suit button and calmly stepped out, his eyes never once glancing in their direction as if he had never noticed Nina there before.

Quincy hesitated, his gaze shifting towards Nina.

He wasn’t sure if Nash’s displeasure today would lead to his or Nina’s downfall.

All he could do was hope for the best.

Just then, Nina and Scott approached their side, and Nash got out of the car. Now both of them noticed him.

Nina was taken aback. Why would he come to her alma mater? She paused in her tracks.

Scott observed Nina’s reaction, lifted his gaze, and addressed, “Mr. York.”

Nash turned his head to face Scott. “What a coincidence.”

“It’s not a coincidence. Principal Wallace’s guest is Mr. York, isn’t it?” Scott remarked.

Nash remained silent. His cold gaze swept over Nina, as if poised to interrogate her, questioning her presence with Scott.

Nina hadn’t anticipated his visit to see Wallace today.

But every time he came to see Wallace, she wouldn’t know, so there wasn’t much to say.

“Mr. York,” Nina addressed him in a tone as distant as addressing a superior.

This tone didn’t sit well with Nash either. He spoke directly, “You took leave just to meet an old classmate.”

Nina’s throat tightened.

She happened to meet Scott today

but she couldn’t openly state her reason for taking time off. Nina

raised her gaze. “I requested time off

and notified the HR department.”

A cold smile played at the corners of Nash’s lips. Taking leave solely to meet Scott privately hinted at a deeper connection.

Scott, wanting to ease any tension

interjected quickly. “Nina and I just happened to run into each other today, it’s not what Mr. York

assumes.”
