FreeNovelStella's expression stiffened. "Mr. York, there was a bit of unpleasantness between your secretary andbefore, 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 remindof what kind of person my secretary is. Even if it were true, what difference would it make?"

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!

The tea you handedslipped because of my own carelessness. I shouldn't have blamed you, and I hope you can forgive me."

Turning away, Nash responded, "If you want to discuss collaboration with me, Miss Jasper, you'll need to show ssincerity." Stella was determined to secure the project this time. "I admit fault this time. Since the collaboration plan wasn't executed properly, can offer to give up 20% of our KK project shares?" Nash remained silent, his tall figure looming over her.
This made Stella feel indignant. In the Jasper Corporation, she was treated with utmost respect, even the employees would bow respectfully upon seeing her. But here in the city, not only did she have to defer to a mere secretary, but she also had to humble herself in front of Nash, offering to give up 20%.
And to make matters worse, Nash did not even acknowledge her! She had never been treated like this before!!
As Stella struggled to contain her emotions, Nash sneered, "Miss om Jasper travels, all the way to the city NO and giving up twenty percent, don't you feel like you're shortchanging yourself?" Stella's heart was aching. The KK project was a significant
