CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 302

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.

She noticed Nash nearby, his eyes exuding a chilling fierceness.

Clearly, this was Nash's doing.

Nina managed a forced smile. "Miss Jasper, we've already cleared the air. No need to dwell on it."

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 Jasper travels all the way to the city 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 collaboration between domestic and foreign entities, and she had purposely crafted the partnership proposal to provoke Nash, only for Nina to beat her to it.
