Chapter 251
As soon as Serene left, Nash's deep, dark eyes settled intensely on Nina. "Where did you get all these things?"
Since it was in a transparent bag, only some packed food items were visible.
Nina replied, "I went to my parents' place."
"Did not run into Scott?" Nash asked somberly.
At this moment, there was not a hint of drunkenness about him. It seemed that Serene's learning and execution abilities were truly strong.
Nina calmly said, "He has his own matters, we're both not that idle."
With that, Nina carrying two large bags, walked towards the kitchen. Since she was going to stay at Riverside Estate for a while, she did not say much else.
After she put away the items and came out, Nash nodded at her, "Come here."Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nina did not want to confront him, so she quickly walked over to him.
Nash extended his hand, and the next second, she was pulled into his embrace. A strong smell of alcohol instantly enveloped the surroundings. The scent was extremely unpleasant to Nina. She frowned, "The smell of your alcohol is too pungent, how about I go and draw a bath for you?"
Nina attempted to put some distance between them.
Nash, however, placed his hand under her chin, applying a slight pressure. He chuckled sarcastically, "And after the bath?"
Nina pursed her lips, "It's been a busy day, it's time to rest properly."
"Just like that?" Nash raised an eyebrow.
Nina nodded.
"Do you think now that Serene has appeared, you can just walk away scot-free?" His husky voice confronted her directly.
Nina remained silent. She did wish for that, but Nash was not giving her the chance.
Nina did not want to argue with him, "No, you wanted to see me, and here I am, right? I brought some food from my mom's place, just tell me if you want to try some."
In the past, Nash would try a few bites of the dishes his mother made. By saying this, Nina clearly did not want to engage in a lengthy discussion with him.
"Did Serene make the rose tea? Did you teach her?" Nash could not help but frown.
"No, she learned it on her own." Nina had only given Serene a notebook. The specifics, that was all on Serene to figure out.
Nash laughed, "How could she learn it on her own without you teaching? If I remember correctly, only you add rose petals to your rose tea."
This was Nina's unique way of
making rose tea. It had a subtly floral aroma and a gentle, slightly sweet taste. It was very good for sobering up. Especially with the faint scent of rose petals, it was refreshing.
Nina pursed her lips, "Now that she has come to work as your secretary, I had to give her some pointers."
Nash chuckled lightly, "So you are grooming her as your replacement?"
Nina denied, "It's not that I'm grooming her as my replacement, but rather she needs to understand your preferences, especially since she's going to be working closely with you for the long term.
There was no denying the truth in Nina's words but there was a problem.
Nash's lips curled up slightly in surprise, "Did you hire Serene with my approval?"
Nina responded, "Did not you say that when I leave, everything should be in order. Isn't Serene doing a good job?"
"Just because she's doing a good job, does that mean I have to keep her?" Nash's brows furrowed.
Nina pursed her lips again and replied, "That's up to you."
As the head of the company, if Nash wanted to fire Serene, there was not much she could say.
"Recently, have a lot of schedules
and I don't want to be around others
for a while, it's best you stay close to me," Nash said as he gripped her waist, the sudden movement startling Nina considerably
