Nina's words were appropriate for the situation. In the future, if they were to divorce, it would give
others plenty to gossip about.
However, Nash felt that Nina was being overly cautious. He helped her, yet she seemed more concerned about attracting suspicion from others. Or was she apprehensive about people discovering their relationship?
Suddenly, Nash's face turned cold, revealing only iciness and detachment. "Are you that afraid?"
Nina observed his displeased expression and gently explained, "I'm concerned about causing you any inconvenience. If there were to be a divorce and rumors began circulating about any connection. between us, I believe you wouldn't want to hear such gossip. Additionally, my reputation isn't exactly great right now. I wouldn't want to drag you into it."
Nash frowned, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "Nina, why are you being so meticulous about this little matter, especially when your reputation isn't great right now?"
His sarcastic tone left Nina momentarily stunned. Wasn't this the right approach?
With rumors circulating that she was his mistress, it was something he would least want to hear and most want to avoid.

She was trying to safeguard his reputation and prevent any unnecessary gossip in the event of a divorce.
But her well-intentioned reminder seemed to be taken as overthinking on her part.
Nina pursed her lips, feeling a bit unsure about what he was thinking. "Well, since my reputation is already in this state, I guess I shouldn't care. I'm just looking out for you, not wanting my actions to impact your life negatively."
Nash felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to her words, almost finding them amusing. "You're really considerate of me. You've put in a lot of effort these past few years." Nina was surprised by his response but still obediently agreed. "It's no trouble. Everything I do is for you and for the York Corporation."
Observing Nina's respectful and compliant attitude, Nash's lips tightened into a straight line, his eyes. cold and distant. He tugged at his tie disapprovingly before saying in a chilly tone, "You're indeed quite understanding!"
Nina glanced at him. His expression remained. indifferent, yet he praised her, his emotions carefully concealed. She was adept at deciphering his thoughts, meticulously analyzing every nuance of his face. But had she said something wrong? Logically, her words and actions seemed justified.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. York."

Nash's mood worsened further. Sporting a cold, impassive facade, he simply ignored her. Seeing him engrossed in work and unwilling to engage. with her, Nina decided not to disturb him further and quietly exited the office. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Was Nash unhappy? It appeared so, but she couldn't discern what she had done wrong. If that was the case, it wasn't her fault. "Nina, Nina."
Taylor called out to Nina as if she had discovered breaking news when she saw her coming out. Nina asked, "What's going on?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"You just came from Mr. York's office; you probably missed the latest scoop."
Taylor seemed as if she had struck gold.
"What scoop?"
"Miranda has been released from the hospital and made a public appearance. Several reporters are swarming her for interviews."
Nina didn't find it particularly noteworthy. "So she showed up at an event, what's the fuss about?"
"Usually, Miranda brushes off reporters and avoids speaking to them. But today, she's granting interviews. Do you get what she's implying? She hasn't said anything directly, but the undertone suggests she's asserting her status. Just the other day, I was saying that even if there were rumors. about Mr. York and Miranda, without evidence, it's

just speculation. But this time, it's more than just hearsay!"
This piqued Nina's interest. She rushed to watch the interview. There, she spotted Miranda donning that white gown, attending the event. For celebrities at important functions, gowns were usually worn just once.
