Nina stared at the lipstick mark on the shirt for a while, her expression showing little emotion.


    She understood that attending social events would inevitably encounter flirtatious encounters. However, she had never seen lipstick mark on his shirt before.


    Nina subconsciously grasped the shirt tightly, causing it to wrinkle in her hands.


    As the bathroom door opened, Nina snapped out of her thoughts.


    Nash emerged from inside and noticed Nina standing there motionless. "What are you doing standing there?" he asked.


    Not sensing Nina''s emotions, he nced at the time and added, "It''ste. You usually sleep by now. Can''t sleep tonight?"


    Recently, Nina rarely waited for him to sleep. In the past, she could only sleep soundly when he returned home. Now, sometimes when he came backte, Nina was already fast asleep, no longer waiting for him.


    Though Nina could sleep whenever she wanted, Nash could not help but notice the difference in these details, which brought a sense of disparity.


    Nina did not ask further questions. Whether Nash was drinking outside or getting involved with other women was Miranda''s concern. Maybe the lipstick mark was from Miranda''s kiss.


    "I''ll put your clothes in the washing machine," Nina said calmly before walking out again.


    Nash watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowing. He could hear the coldness in her words. Now she couldn''t even look at him?


    Nash grew annoyed at the thought. Hey down, covering his head with the nket, pretending to sleep.


    When Nina returned, Nash was lying on his side, facing away from her, his bodypletely still. She did not disturb him, choosing to remain turned away as well.


    There was a rift between them.


    After several minutes, Nash finally threw off the covers. He was note asleep but he was sweating. ncing over, he saw Nina fast asleep again. She seemed


    indifferent to his emotions now.


    Nash''s expression turned cold, and he lost all desire to sleep. He got up and went to sleep alone in the study.


    When Nina woke up, the bed beside


    her was cold. ncing at the time, it


    was only s


    in the morning


    Judging by Nash''s usual waking


    habits, it was evident that he had not slept beside herst night.


    She proceeded with her morning routine, getting dressed and going downstairs for breakfast.


    Nash was not there. He must have gone to the office already.


    After breakfast, Nina went to the office too. However, she found out that Nash was not at the office today.


    Suddenly, she remembered the awards ceremony mentioned by Miranda. It was understandable for him to apany Miranda on such an important day. "Nina, Jasper Corporation is urging for Mr. York to inspect. There''s no time to wait. If he doesn''t go today, there''ll be a penalty." Cynthia informed Nina.


    Nina replied, "Mr. York isn''t at the office today. Let''s do the inspection tomorrow."


    "The ship has docked, and there''s no extra time. If we don''t inspect today, we''ll have to pay a penalty," Cynthia exined.


    "Mr. York likely won''t be around


    today," Nina observed, aware that


    Nash would not be answering his phone today, just likest time. "You go inform the vice president she directed. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    "The vice president isn''t avable either," Cynthia reported. "Seems like it''s on you, Nina."


    Unfortunately, all the key executives were tied up today.


    Nina had stepped in for Nash in simr situations before, but she always knew her limits.


    For the menial tasks, she would take care of them herself.
