Nash's eyes fixed on Nina.

Feeling uneasy under his intense gaze, Nina asked, "Are you done swimming? If so, can I leave now?"

Nash's eyes darkened further. "Are you lying to me?"

Nina's heart tightened, as if bound by an invisible string. She met his gaze and said, "No."

Nash's brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly released her. "You've lied to me once. I won't allow you to lie to me again."

Nina remained silent. Given their current situation, whether she lied or not seemed irrelevant. Sometimes, lying was a way to protect herself.

Nash did not press her further but instead let her go to the changing room to put on a fresh set of clothes. He had prepared everything in advance. Inside the changing room, a female secretary handed her a comfortable, loose-fitting tracksuit. "Miss Walker, Mr. York asked me to bring this for you."
