The smile faded from Nash’s lips.”Bang!”Serene fell heavily to the ground, looking somewhat disheveled and genuinely in pain. At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes.However, all Serene could do was apologize to Nash, “I’m sorry, Mr. York, I seem to have twisted my foot. I… I really should be more careful!””You really should!” Nash did not pay much attention to Serene. “With your little tricks, do you think you can really hook me?”Serene was speechless. Nash saw right through her.But of course, Serene could not admit it now. “Mr. York, you’ve misunderstood me. I just accidentally spilled the coffee when I fell. Look, it’s because the heels of the shoes I bought are too low-quality.” Serene’s voice was somewhat hoarse, and her whole demeanor seemed embarrassed. Her shoes’ heels had indeed come off.Nash did not even glance at them.His voice was cold. “It’s good not to have such thoughts, but do you think this is acceptable?””I’m sorry, Mr. York. I know I’m your intern secretary now, representing the image of York Corporation. But I’ve just graduated and joined the internship, and I really don’t have much money.” Serene’s confidence waned as she spoke.Without even glancing at Serene, Nash instructed, “Go ask Quincy for an advance.””Thank you, Mr. York!””Get lost.” That was all Nash had to say.Since Serene was brought in by Nina, she would stay for now. Plus, after this incident, Nash believed Serene would step up her game.At Yvonne’s place, the nanny she ordered had already arrived at the address. The nanny was busy in the kitchen preparing a meal while Nina lounged on the sofa, tuning in to the news. However, she quickly noticed that the headline of one particular story did not align with its actual content. Nina then sifted through some materials, determined to help the girl highlighted in the news.It was evident that the girl was innocent, unjustly victimized by rumors circulated by her peers. Yet, due to the misleading headline, social media users were wrongly directing blame toward her.Suddenly, Yvonne’s impatient voiceinterrupted, “I’ve said I don’t need it, Idon’t need it! Leo Howard, do you not understand human language? If you don’t, I suggest you go back to kindergarten and learn!” With a “clack,” Yvonne slammed her phone onto the coffee table, clearly frustrated.”Is Leo the guy who showed up with the pink roses?” Nina asked slowly, putting her phone down and addressing Yvonne.Yvonne looked surprised. “How did you know?”Nina replied, “I could tell from your words and expression.” Ads by PubFuture
She had known in the car that Leo was pursuing Yvonne. Although he seemed decent, Yvonne had not mentioned him, so Nina had not asked. But now, seeing Yvonne’s emotions, Nina felt compelled to inquire.Yvonne lamented, “I’m so fed up, youknow? Just about a month ago, Iwent to Huntington for an art retreat,and guess who I bumped into? This Iguy! It’s like he’s everywhere I go.And you know what’s even crazier? He seems to be some sort ofbusiness partner with Joe!”Joe Turner, as Nina recalled from Yvonne’s previous conversations, was her half-brother from the same father but different mother but their relationship was not good.

“So, you dislike him mainly because of that?” Nina asked.Yvonne shook her head. “It’s not just that. It’s his behavior that really irks me. I’ve made it clear that I don’t like him, but he still persists. Do you know what he’s like? A stalker! He’s a real creep!”
