Nina, fearing he might take further action, quickly agreed, “Okay.”Nash seemed pleased with this, “You’ve been having stomach issues lately but how come you seem to have gained weight?”Nina froze. This was not the first time Nash had brought this up.She quickly diverted the topic, “Maybe it’s because I haven’t been resting well lately, my face looks a bit swollen. Also, hormonal imbalances can lead to weight gain…”Nash furrowed his brows, “Did not you hire Serene to reduce your workload? Why is there still so much pressure?””Maybe I’m just too much of a perfectionist.” That was all Nina could say, and she did not even dare to look at him.Nash seemed displeased, “Why does it sound like you don’t want to deal with these matters by my side and are deliberately finding excuses?””No.” Nina was somewhat anxious, but she dared not show it too obviously.She clearly did not want Nash’s attention on her, yet the conversation had turned this way again. Nina felt a headache coming on.”You just had some rose tea. Do you want me to make something to eat?” Nina secretly clenched her palm, hoping to skip over this matter.Nash looked at her without responding.During those few seconds, Nina’s heart was in her throat.Fortunately, Nash eventually murmured in low agreement.Nina went into the kitchen. Considering that Nash had drunk quite a bit, she made him a bowl of chicken soup noodles. It was simple and stomach-soothing. Nash ate with relish. He even complimented her, “You’re quite the chef.”Nina did not respond. She thought the standoff between her and Nash could not last much longer. The time she could cook for him was running short. Nash noticed her silence, “You don’t need to go to the office tomorrow, I’ll take you shopping for a few outfits.””That’s not a good idea…”They had not yet gone public with their relationship. If they were seen together, at the mall, considering they were already trending, they might just become the center of news. Nash said Then go by yourself, or ask Yvonne to accompany you. Tell Yvonne she can proceed directly to the exhibition venue.” Nina did not expect Nash to be serious. This also showed that hecould finalize the venue for Yvonne with a single word, and with another, he could prevent any of her arrangements. She was not ready to confront him directly. Nina thought for a moment, “Then I’ll go with Yvonne.”Nash did not respond, which was as good as an agreement.Nina stayed by Nash’s side, waited until he finished eating, and then cleared the dishes into the kitchen.

Nash instructed her, “I have some documents to work on, bring me a cup of coffee in half an hour.””Okay.” Nina nodded in agreement.Half an hour later, Nina timely brought a cup of rich black coffee into the study.Nash was in the middle of a video conference, speaking fluent Frangelian language. His demeanor exuded an authoritative presence. Nina did not dare to disturb him, placing the coffee on his right-hand side.”Get some sleep early, I’ll come in a bit.””Nash, is this your new girlfriend?”The computer emitted somewhat broken English, spoken by a male voice.Nash’s lips slowly moved, “Not a girlfriend. She is my wife.”Nina was shocked that he had acknowledged her status in front of a business partner. Ads by PubFuture
Nina was somewhat surprised, yet puzzled by his actions. In addition, he had defended her on several previous occasions.”I won’t disturb you any further,” the man switched back to Frangelian language.The next second, Nash looked up at her, “Once I’m done with this busy period, I can take you to Frangelia for a while.” Saying this, Nash picked up the coffee by his right hand.
