Rattled by a blow to her pride, Miranda felt as though Nina was mocking her acting abilities, implying her performances required no intellectual effort.

She had intended to boast about her accomplishments as a singer, suggesting that her acting career had taken her to new heights, even surpassing her previous success. But instead, Nina's remark felt like an insult, fueling a desire within Miranda to lash out.

With Nash present, however, she had to rein in her temper.

"I think this poster turned out quite well. What do you think, Nina?" Miranda deliberately strolled to the window, glancing at the billboard on the building across the street. She chuckled, surprised by how prominent Nina's position was. Seeing her poster every day must be uncomfortable for her.

Without even turning her head, Nina replied, "Miss Miranda, I still have work to do. Do you have any other business?"

She had no interest in engaging with Miranda, who seemed more concerned with showing off than anything else.

"None at all. We've known each other for so long. I just wanted to chat," Miranda walked over, standing beside Nina's desk. "I heard you're thinking of quitting. I wonder if you need a new job?"

She glanced at Nash. "Nash, if Nina resigns, she can apply to be my assistant. With her wealth of experience, she'd be a perfect fit."

The remark did not sit well with Nina or Nash. Nash, especially, did not want Nina to leave the company, and Miranda's attempt to meddle only furrowed his brows.

He looked at Miranda with a cool tone, "Who told you Nina was quitting?"

Seeing Nash's expression, Miranda felt increasingly awkward. "I heard it from someone when I arrived. Nina's resignation isn't exactly a secret, is it?"

Since the rumor was circulating, it must be true. Nash's strong reaction puzzled her. After seven years by Nash's side, if Nina was willing to leave, it suggested their marriage was on the rocks. It seemed like the end of a long wait for Miranda.

However, only after their divorce would Miranda be completely reassured. But Nash denied it, saying, "There's no such thing. Don't believe everything you hear."

This refusal left Miranda in an awkward position. She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to save face. "Ah, I see. Sorry about that, Nina. I didn't mean to imply anything. You've been with Nash for so long. You must be used to it. But a change of scenery can be refreshing too."

She persisted, hoping Nina would take the hint and step down from her position.

Nina looked at Miranda and replied, "Thank you for your kind words, Miss Miranda. But people should aim high, not settle for less."

Miranda's face turned beet red with anger. She had underestimated Nina's determination to hold onto her position!

At that moment, Nash intervened, "Aren't you supposed to attend the rehearsal later? Will you make it in time?"

Hearing this, Miranda stopped addressing Nina and said, "I should go. As you know, there's an awards ceremony coming up soon, and as the CEO, you have to attend."

"Got it," Nash replied coldly.

With that, Miranda left the York Corporation.

Miranda was really flaunting it now, surrounded by a whole entourage. She was putting on quite the show.

Seeing her leave with such an air of arrogance, Taylor could not help but roll her eyes. She wondered when karma would catch up with someone like Miranda, who relied on connections for their own benefit at the expense of others.

Throughout the exchange, Nina never once looked at Nash, focusing solely on her work. Nash, on the other hand, could not help but notice Nina's indifferent demeanor towards him.

Finding it rather odd, he said, "Nina, could you make me a cup of coffee?"

Nina replied calmly, "Cynthia, could you make Mr. York a cup of coffee?"
