Mike wore a puzzled expression, thinking Nash was coming to confront him. But without explaining, Nash only asked about Nina's visit to the hospital.After questioning, he left.What did Nina's pregnancy have to do with him? Mike could not figure it out, but as long as it did not affect his job, he did not mind.Nash stepped into the elevator, hands in his pockets concealing his anger. He spoke in a cold tone, "Find out immediately where Nina is now!"She dared to betray him.Even if she fled to the ends of the earth, he would bring her back!Quincy had never seen Nash so furious, as if he could devour someone. When he began asking about Nina's whereabouts, Quincy could not help but shiver, knowing Nina would face consequences if found!He could only wish her well."Achoo!"Nina sneezed, tears welling up.She wiped her tears with a tissue and continued writing her document.Who could be thinking of her? Her parents? She had just called them a few days ago to assure them sh
In her desperation, she pounded the man's back hard and yelled, "Who are you? Let me go, let me go!" The man did not heed her words, letting her hit and shout as he continued walking briskly. Nina was too anxious and agitated to think clearly. All she wanted was to break free from his grasp. She had only been in this place for a few days, unfamiliar with the environment and unsure if there were any thieves or criminals around. She feared getting hurt and her first instinct was to escape the danger.But no matter how hard she pounded, the man showed no intention of harming her. This was not the behavior of a criminal. Plus, even though she was yelling loudly, he did not seem afraid. Could it be...Just as she began to piece things together, she found herself gently placed back on the ground. When she saw his face clearly, Nina's expression changed completely. "You..."But before the words could leave her lips, Nina realized that their relationship had deteriorated to this point,
"How about the baby in your belly?" Nash almost shouted, his eyes blazing with fury. Hearing his voice, Nina's pupils shrank in shock. He suddenly discovered her pregnancy, catching her completely off guard and momentarily leaving her unable to provide a rational explanation.Seeing her stunned expression, Nash knew it was all true. He sneered coldly, "No words? You're the first person to betray me in my entire life. How should I punish you?"Nina felt the heat and danger emanating from his large, powerful hands. She wondered how he managed to find her a few days later, only to realize that he had learned about her pregnancy.Staring into Nash's menacing eyes, she felt as if he could devour her alive. She dared not tell him the truth. Protecting her belly with one hand, she said, "Nash, even if I am pregnant, I haven't violated our agreement of non-interference between us, as you once said. I hope you'll honor your words. Besides, hardly anyone knows about our marriage. If we divo
Nina slapped Nash hard.Nash did not flinch, he caught her slap head-on, leaving a bright red mark on his face. He tilted his head and then coldly stared at Nina.Nina was also shocked, looking at her hand. She had slapped him with considerable force, and her hand was stinging. Her own reaction surprised her as well. In their seven years together, they had conflicts before, but she had never raised her hand. In fact, she doubted if anyone had ever hit Nash before."Nina..." Nash's voice was filled with menace.Nina withdrew her numb hand, explaining, "I didn't mean to... If you didn't act out, I wouldn't have hit you!"Nash was seething with anger. Nina had the courage to leave him and even to strike him. His clenched fists crackled with tension. His furious demeanor made Nina tremble, fearing he might retaliate with a slap of his own.But Nash just continued to stare at her coldly. "You're willing to do anything for this man!"Nina would not disclose the truth about the child
She even resorted to drugging him! He had only one demand which was to terminate the pregnancy, and she refused! She even wanted to carry someone else's child. How dare she! How dare she utter such words to him! In the end, Nash released her hand, no longer forcing her. However, his gaze was icy, filled with enough disappointment towards her. "Nina, you'll regret this!" His words were firm and decisive. With that said, he paid no attention to Nina's sad expression. Her eyes, slightly teary, showed her strong will as a single tear ran down her cheek, revealing her refusal to give in to him.Nash left without a second glance, disappearing from Nina's view. Nina slowly sank to the ground. Her hands were sore from the tug-of-war and her eyes downcast, filled with indescribable anguish. She was utterly alone. Yet, this solitude was not what she initially desired. It was only after years of disappointment that she thought being alone was preferable and that ending her marriage was
After pausing for several seconds, Nina looked up at Kate. "You want me to interview the CEO of York Corporation?" Kate folded her hands and stood up casually. "Yes, any problem? Interviewing Nash isn't something anyone can handle. You're the most suitable."Nina closed the file and said, "My resume clearly states that I left York Corporation. Aren't you sending me back?"She had left York Corporation without notice. Returning now would be embarrassing.Kate shrugged, unaware of Nina's conflict with Nash. "Just because you came from York Corporation doesn't mean you're off the hook. This task is yours."Nina placed the file on the table. "Chief Editor, I decline this assignment."She did not want any more involvement with Nash.Moreover, he would not treat her well this time. It was a dilemma.Kate insisted, "Didn't I say it before? You need to step out of your comfort zone. Interviewing Nash is a challenge, but I've assigned it to others before. Nash isn't giving anyone an ea
In just a few days at the TV station, Nina had already remembered the names of her colleagues, although she had not interacted with everyone yet. For instance, she had never spoken to Michelle, the person in front of her."That's how it is," Nina said, picking up the scattered documents.Michelle was not pleased. "Why did the editor assign such a task to you? You've only just arrived. Who do you think you are?"Nina sensed the sting in Michelle's words. "I also feel I might not be up to the task." She was familiar with this situation. It seemed like this assignment was desirable, so she glanced at Michelle and asked, "Do you want to go?"Michelle did not answer. With her pride wounded, she gave a cold snort and headed straight to the editor's office.Nina was not bothered by Michelle's arrogance. If Michelle took on the task and the editor approved, it would be for the best. Although the TV station was highly competitive, Nina had seen enough of the world to know that an inter
"Okay," replied Nina softly.Seeing her lack of reaction, Michelle initially wanted to say something but then felt she was giving too much importance to this newcomer. She withdrew her gaze, maintaining her haughty posture, picked up the files, and turned on her high heels to leave.Watching Michelle's departure, Angel made a face.Noticing Angel's antics, Nina could not help but ask, "What's your issue with Michelle?"Angel replied, "She's rubbed many people the wrong way, not just me. They're angry but silent because she's the best performer here!"Nina remarked, "There's a reason she's the top performer. She dares to seize opportunities and work hard!""It's not just that. She's ruthless," Angel continued. "I had a good project before, one that could have been my way out of typing all day here. Even though success wasn't guaranteed, I deserved a chance. But Michelle snatched it away. She doesn't want to give newcomers a chance. She wants to be the perennial favorite at the TV
