Nina was startled and instinctively wanted to scream, but she did not fall completely into the water.

Nash had one hand supporting her hips and the other under her back, keeping her head above water. She was not choking, but she was entirely soaked.

The pool water was warm, not cold. Nina was furious and was glaring at him. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders to avoid falling into the water.

"What are you doing?!" Nina's tone was sharp.

Nash pinned her against the pool's edge, his hands still holding her hips, their eyes level. "You wouldn't have come over otherwise."

Nina pushed against his chest, but he was as immovable as a wall. "You said we could work, but what are you doing now? Are you trying to end the interview? Mr. York, your mind clearly isn't on business. If you're not serious, then I'm leaving!"

She struggled to get out, but Nash grabbed her hand. "We'll get to work, but sometimes you need to relax."

Nina retorted, "Getting dragged into the water isn't my idea of relaxing."

"Just swim with me."

"Our work doesn't include swimming. If you want female company, plenty of women would be willing, but I don't like swimming."

Nash wasn't angered by her refusal; instead, he teased her, "Many people would do anything just to see me. I'm asking you to swim with me, and it's such a big deal? You must be more important than I am."

"It's inappropriate for us to be alone like this. If someone sees us, it could cause rumors," Nina said coldly, her eyes fixed on him. "You might not care about your reputation, but I do. Besides, there are plenty of women involved with you, and you may not mind, but I do. I hope you can show some respect, Mr. York."

Nash stared at her, amused. "You're my wife. What reputation do you need? Isn't it better to show everyone that we're happy together?"

When did he become so cheeky? Nina was annoyed. He used to never bring up their marriage, but now that they were getting divorced, he kept mentioning it. "Nash, do you have no shame?"

Nash wiped the water off her face with his thumb and whispered, "I've given up my pride, so why worry about shame?"

"You're shameless!" Nina couldn't help but insult him.

Nash had rarely heard her curse. His gaze softened, almost tender. "If it helps you feel better, you can call me whatever you want."

Realizing nothing she said was working against the shameless Nash now, Nina decided to stay silent.

But Nash had more to say. "Zoe is out of the hospital. You didn't come to see her, and she asked about you. And Grandpa Henry hasn't seen you since you left. He said he wants to see you next time." "Don't try to play the emotional card with me!" Nina knew he was trying to make her feel guilty, but she wasn't falling for it. "If you have time, tell them we're getting divorced. If you were sensible, you'd sign the divorce papers so we can end this once and for all."

"Do you really have to be this heartless?" Nash asked.

Nina turned her head away and coldly replied, "I think you haven't faced reality yet. I'm pregnant with someone else's child. Can you really accept being so blatantly cheated on?"
