Chapter 101
"Well, Nina looks so beautiful, there must be many people chasing after her, naturally, she has high standards," Wallace looked at Scott again, "But Scott is also quite impressive, young and full of potential, with a great personality and boundless prospects!"
Listening to his praise, Nash's expression visibly soured. It was clear that Wallace was highly pleased with Scott and was actively attempting to set them
1. up.
Scott looked at Nash and smiled, "Mr. Wallace, you're too kind in your praise. However, Nina is the best person in the world. She deserves to be loved and cherished."
Nina felt moved by Scott's words, even though she was taken aback. He said she was the best person in the world, deserving of love and care. No girl could resist such tenderness.
Nash also observed Nina's gaze towards Scott, which seemed to suggest she was moved by him, stirring a discomfort deep within him.
He instinctively adjusted his tie and remarked coldly, "Actions speak louder than words. When Nina faced her toughest challenges, Mr. Lucas was nowhere to be found offering assistance." Scott's gaze narrowed slightly. During Nina's most trying moments, he hadn't been there for her..It felt like a thorn in his heart. Despite his personal growth, he never had the chance to offer tangible assistance to Nina. He didn't want to back down anymore and replied, "Mr. York is right. Moving forward, I will be more attentive."
Nina sensed the tension between them and changed the subject, "It's quite cool outside. Shall we go in?" Wallace, who had been listening to them, also reacted, "Yes, let's go in and have dinner."
It was a five-star restaurant, luxurious, serene, and sophisticated, catering to the affluent.
Upon their entrance, a gorgeous young woman approached, calling out, "Dad!"
Wallace's face immediately softened with indulgence. "Melody, you're here so early. Did you wait long?"
"I just arrived too." Melody glanced at them. "Are these all Dad's friends?"
"Yes, they're all important guests," Wallace hurriedly introduced. "This is Scott, my student, who's now a big shot in the finance industry. This is Nina, who was always an ace in school and is now Mr. York's secretary. And this is Mr. York himself. They're all remarkable individuals."
Melody Wallace politely nodded to them, but she focused her attention on Nash. She looked at
him with apparent interest, extended her hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. York, hello. I've heard about you for quite some time and have always wanted my dad to introduce us. But he always declined. I'm glad we finally have the chance to meet."
Nina knew that Wallace had a daughter, but they had never met before. She only knew that the daughter was studying abroad. Today, upon meeting her, Nina found her to be a lively and outgoing girl with a bold demeanor. However, given her beauty, it was only natural for her to radiate energy, boldness, and confidence.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Nash just glanced at her and didn't extend his hand. "Mr. Wallace, I didn't hear that your daughter was coming today, so I didn't prepare any gifts for the meeting."
Wallace said, "Mr. York, you're being too polite. My daughter can be a bit mischievous, so please don't mind. Melody, you should be more reserved in front of so many guests!"
Melody didn't mind. Influenced by her upbringing abroad, she was enthusiastic and returned to Wallace's side, playfully saying, "Dad, don't embarrass me in front of all these guests."
"Alright," Wallace agreed. "Let's head in and place our orders. Order whatever you want to eat. Don't say I didn't take care of you.
"Roger that," Melody smiled and headed back into the private room.
