CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Stella's expression stiffened. "Mr. York, there was a bit of unpleasantness between your secretary and me before, and just now, I believe at least seven out of ten people would think it was deliberate. "And besides, do you really not remember who I am?" Stella's lack of control over her emotions grew with each word.

Nash's gaze was devoid of warmth, radiating a chilling sternness. "I don't need you to remind me of what kind of person my secretary is. Even if it were true, what difference would it make?"

Nash's words silenced Stella outright. His expression, along with the fact that he did not respond to her final question, clearly indicated he had no recollection of her at all.

Stella felt a mixture of anger, frustration, and embarrassment.

Suddenly, Nina's voice cut in, "Miss Jasper, here are the ice cubes for you." Nina remained calm, unaffected by the tension.

Glancing at Nash's cold demeanor and the oppressive atmosphere in his gaze, it was evident that unless Stella apologized to Nina, today's collaboration was off the table!

Stella had fought for this collaboration for a month, convincing both her father and brother to entrust it to her.

Reluctantly, she said, "Nina, I apologize for earlier. The tea you handed me slipped because of my own carelessness. I shouldn't have blamed you, and I hope you can forgive me." Her change of attitude was as swift as turning a page, leaving Nina momentarily stunned.
