Chapter 248
Nina was dumbfounded, unsure why he had such a sudden strong reaction. "Does this feel better for you?" Nina asked him again.
Nash looked into Nina's eyes and realized she did not mean it that way. He slightly pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and replied softly, "Mmm, much better." He knew she was changing the subject, so he did no press further.
Nina continued to massage him, feeling her hands getting sore. Hearing Nash's steady breathing, she paused and fetched a thin blanket for him. As she stepped out of the office, she ran into Serene. "Nina," Serene instinctively greeted her upon seeing her.
Nina entered Nash's office and stayed there for over an hour. Last night at the banquet, Nash smashing a wine bottle over Sean's head made it obvious even to the discerning eye that the relationship between Nash and Nina was far from shallow.
Nina nodded and returned to her desk. Yvonne sent her a message: [Have you considered my proposal? Do you want to accept?]
Nina replied: [I've been busy lately.]
Yvonne did not respond further. Nina was not actually busy but she simply did not want to confront the situation head-on. When it came to Nash, Nina could never bring herself to be ruthless.
Soon, it was lunchtime. As usual, Quincy arranged for lunch to be brought to the office. Nina had to prepare everything for Nash in the office. Today, as she sat face to face with Nash, he opened her water bottle for her.
Nina felt nauseous when she tasted the barbeque ribs. Being across from Nash, she had to endure it, putting on a brave face.
"Your stomach seems to be acting up. Don't eat anymore. I'll take you to the hospital," Nash caught her expression and set down his utensils.
Nina declined, "It's just a stomach issue. There's nothing they can do at the hospital. Besides, I don't want to go with you."
It was not exposed before, and it definitely should not be exposed now.
"In that case, let Caleb prescribe some medicine and have it delivered," Nash did not insist. He even followed through by dialing Caleb's number.
Nina was beside Nash, and thanks to the excellent quality of his phone, she could hear Caleb's complaints through the phone. "Why are you interrupting my peaceful dream in broad daylight? Nash, what's going on?" ś
Nash spoke slowly, "Nina's stomach isn't feeling well. Could you prescribe some medicine to help with digestion?"
Caleb exclaimed, "!!!"
Just because of this, he had been disturbed from his sleep. Did not they know he was on night duty?
Suppressing his emotions, Caleb replied, "Go to the pharmacy and get a box of gastric pills."
After the call ended with the busy tone, Nash was not upset. He stood up.
Nina assumed he had something to attend to, but she did not expect Nash to leave. Ten minutes later, he returned with a box of medicine in his hand. Nina was extremely surprised.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
She had not expected Nash to personally buy medicine for her!
In a hoarse voice, Nash said, "One pill after each meal."
"Mm," Nina responded. Although it was just one word, it felt like a sharp thorn when it got stuck in her throat.
"Mr. York, the people from the Jasper Corporation are here today. They're currently at the Hillary Hotel," Quincy's voice approached from a distance.
Nash glanced at Nina. "Since you're not feeling well, Quincy will accompany me this time. You stay in the office."
Nash preferred to bring Quincy

As soon as he left, Serene complained to Nina, "Nina, Mr. York seems to dislike me. Is it because he thinks I'm trying to be clever, but end up causing problems instead?"
