Chapter 112
The words made Nash stop in his tracks, turning back to look at Quincy. "Which woman?"
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 couldn't understand. But caught in the middle like a sandwich cookie, he lived each day on edge.
"It's... the woman you had a one-night stand with." Quincy felt Nash's displeasure just by uttering those words.
Nash was still unhappy about Nina's 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 she'd be satisfied if he took an interest in another woman?
Nash's displeased face turned extremely cold and unwelcoming, but he remained composed, saying coldly, "Got it, let her wait!"
When Nina returned and hadn't even set her bag down, Quincy approached her. "Nina, Mr. York wants both of you to wait in the lounge for a while!"
"Huh? Both of us?" Nina didn't understand. "Quincy, what are you talking about?"
Seeing her confusion, Quincy pulled her aside and explained, "Nina, didn't you bring that woman back?"
Nina seemed to understand again, hoping it wasn't 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 clouds—a sensation she thoroughly enjoyed!
Linda looked around and spotted Nina at the door, then smiled and called out, "Miss Nina."
Nina frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Linda didn't answer right away but asked, "Miss Nina, is this where you work?"
With people around outside, Nina walked in and closed the door. "Yes."
Linda's lips curled slightly, with a faint dimple forming, "Miss Nina is impressive. I've only seen buildings like this on TV."
Nina's expression turned extremely cold, "You still haven't answered my question."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Linda began to clasp her hands tightly and lowered her head, "Miss Nina, I came here on my own this time The person Mr. York wants to find is me, as you mentioned."
Her words made Nina's face even colder, "Didn't I say we don't need you anymore?"
Linda replied, "I said I came here on my own this time, and it has nothing to do with Miss Nina."
Nina felt a headache coming on and furrowed her brows. She had dug herself a hole this time, "What do you want to say?"
"That day, I did indeed go to that
hotel," Linda said, "Wasn't Miss Nina
looking for the woman to
accompany Mr. York to bed? It was quite urgent for you before, but now you don't need to worry. The woman you're looking for is actually me!"
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 didn't explicitly tell tell Linda what to do. In case Linda couldn't 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 wasn't a secret to those who wanted to know, and it showed she had diligently searched. She just hadn't expected Linda to make the first move.
Before she could say anything else, Quincy walked in. Nina hesitated.
Quincy said, "Nina, someone requested for your help. They need you to take care of it now."
