Nina was also caught off guard by Stella's struggle to keep hold of the tea cup.
"Miss Jasper, you've misunderstood. I don't hold grudges. It's just that you didn't hold it steady yourself," Nina replied calmly. She met Stella's dark gaze, and a hint of coldness flickered in her own eyes.
"I didn't hold it steady? Am I unable to even hold a cup of tea? Mr. York, I approached you with the utmost sincerity for cooperation, but your secretary is acting so arrogantly?" Stella retorted with two questions in a row. In her final sentence, she looked directly at Nash.
Nash stood nearby, his gaze cool with a hint of disdain. "Should I have Miss Jasper review the surveillance footage?" he added.
He understood Nina's character well. Nina would not bother holding a grudge against someone who countered her. Until she quit, she would not slack off but instead would fulfill her duties diligently.
Stella's behavior was evidently aimed at defaming Nina. Indeed, after Mr. York's comment, Stella's face showed signs of embarrassment.
"A secretary alone, and Mr. York is defending her so strongly?" Stella's tone turned cold. "Mr. York, I understand you want to protect her, but the tea did spill on my hand. If it were someone from your side, how would you feel?"
Nina casually remarked, "Had I been the one to lose grip, I wouldn't point fingers at others. I wouldn't feel right accusing someone else. But if Miss Jasper insists it's my fault, well, I could always bring in a professional to assess."
If it was not Nina's fault, she certainly would not confess to it.
If news spread that they had brought in a professional to assess such a minor issue, it would tarnish Miss Jasper's reputation and that of Jasper Corporation.
