Chapter 78

Nina was taken aback by this. She lifted her head once more, unable to believe it. He had never praised her like this before. What was happening today? Locking eyes with Nash, Nina asked, "Really?"

Nash reached out, gently stroking her hair. "Are you lacking confidence now?"

Encountering a different demeanor from him, Nina felt a bit uneasy, but she didn't want to

admit it. "Of course not."

"You look beautiful tonight, very fitting for you," Nash said, wrapping his arm around her waist. Nina took a few steps forward, nestling into his embrace.

"I hate to let you out to meet people,” Nash said in a husky voice.

His warm breath fell on her face, tantalizing and intriguing. Nina's cheeks flushed, and she pushed him away. "Stop goofing around. Since you said it's good-looking, then it must be good-looking." She smiled faintly.

Nash's gaze softened, and he lowered his head again. "Why is it that when I say it's good-looking, it is?"

Looking up, Nina saw the flicker of stars in his eyes. She smiled. "I won't tell you."

Her beauty only needed to be seen by him. She felt a bit embarrassed and took a step forward, but Nash grabbed her hand, pulling her close, imprisoning her tightly. "Be my companion tonight." In the past, she had only stood by him as a secretary. Nina hesitated. "Will it affect you?"

"It will," Nash replied.

Nina paused.

Nash stared at her, his lips curling slightly. "It'll have quite an impact. I can't help but want to look at you from time to time.

Nina's mood fluctuated greatly, feeling a bit annoyed. "Can you finish your sentence?"

Nash remained silent, just gazing at her quietly. He rather liked the lively Nina. She was no longer just a working machine devoid of emotions but a woman with feelings, capable of getting angry and being affectionate toward him.

The crowd had almost all gathered. Nina entered the venue, holding Nash's hand, and immediately the flashlights turned towards them. There were so many lights, Nina had never

been such a center of attention before, as if all the cameras were focused on her. She felt a bit if all the cameras were focused on her. She felt a bit nervous and instinctively leaned her face towards Nash. "Look, Mr. York has a companion by his side for the first time. And she's so beautiful!"

"Didn't they say Mr. York got married? Could this be his wife?"

"Mr. York said his wife is low-key and doesn't like being in the spotlight. But why does the companion look familiar?"

As people got closer, some were stunned. "Isn't that Nina? She's actually attending as Mr. York's companion!"

"Oh my, Nina usually keeps to herself, not drawing much attention. Who would have thought she'd look so stunning when she dresses up? She looks like a celebrity!"

This became the talk of the evening. For them, Nina attending as Nash's companion was quite a thrill.

As Nina tightly gripped his arm, Nash inquired, "Are you nervous?"

"Just a bit. Feels like all eyes are on me," Nina responded.

Although Nina seemed composed outwardly, inwardly, she was jittery. Nash clasped her cold hand, offering reassurance, “You'll adjust in time."

"Hmm?" Nina was puzzled by his words. Did he mean there would be more similar occasions in the future?

Yet, when he attempted to hold her hand, Nina instinctively withdrew. "With so many people around, it's better to be cautious and avoid getting photographed."

No one knew she was Nash's wife. With all the attention, if their secret was uncovered, would tarnish his reputation. She didn't want that.

Observing her caution, Nash's expression turned slightly icy. He didn't press further, merely returning his hands to his pockets.
