Chapter 99
Nash didn’t view if that way. Several chance encounters couldn’t simply be dismissed as coincidences; there was more to it than meets the eye.
Nina’s seemingly genuine joy each time they crossed paths only made it even harder to explain.
“Oh, Mr. York is here too!” Wallace, oblivious to any underlying tension, greeted Nash warmly. “Since everyone’s here, let’s head to the restaurant. I’ll treat you all to a feast.” Nash nodded at Wallace but kept his words to a minimum.
