Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2139

We successfully persuaded Nina to join our company, and she informed us with her actions that our choice had not been wrong. She had completed her tasks beautifully these few times at least.

However, I noticed that Nina’s mood seemed a little low these few days.

Nina shook her head. "No, no, I’m very happy to be able to do this job and have learned a lot from it. I enjoy it. You don't have to worry about it, President Lane."

"Just call me Wanda during off-duty hours. Treat this as a chat between friends."
