The more Nina listened, the more absurd it seemed. "You're overthinking it. I'm just telling the truth."

"Do you dare to say you don't like Mr. York?" Linda looked into her eyes and asked.

Since Nina was speaking the truth, she hesitated on this one.

"Your silence means consent."

As a woman, her intuition was spot-on, and she did indeed have feelings for Nash. If after all these years Nash hadn't returned her affections, it meant there was no romantic future for them. Yet, Nina also made sure no other women dared to fancy Mr. York. It explained the scarcity of rumors surrounding him; she must have meddled.

"Nina, we can compete fairly. If I lose, then I'll accept it," Linda said earnestly. "If Mr. York doesn't like me, then I'll back off and stop bothering him."

Nina found it laughable. "Do you really think I see you as a rival?"

Linda understood. "I know you've been by Mr. York's side for many years. He has feelings for you, but not romantic ones. It's the affection between a superior and a subordinate. I can understand your position, and I hope you can understand mine."
