She didn't politely address him as "Mr. York," but rather by his name. She stood in his way, blocking his path, and Nash asked coldly, "Miss Wallace, what's the matter?" Melody looked at him, her inherent arrogance evident, still not quite believing, "What you just said, about being married. Is it true?"

She had never heard any news of his marriage. She suspected he was deliberately avoiding it, hence her questioning.

Nash's expression remained indifferent, "Is there a need to lie?"

"I've never heard of it, and no one knows who your wife is. I suspect you're making excuses."

"It's none of your concern."

The more indifferent he became, the more intrigued Melody grew, treating him like prey, desiring to conquer him. She liked those who were unattainable.

Her lips formed a slight smile, exuding boldness in both demeanor and approach as she leaned closer, "Married or not, divorce is always an option. It doesn't matter to me." Nina's expression shifted as she listened. Nash had always disliked arrogance and stubbornness, both of which Melody displayed abundantly.

Nash chose to overlook her abrupt behavior out of respect for Mr. Wallace.

She leaned in close, her hand inching towards his face in a flirtatious manner, but there was a flicker of disgust in his eyes.

His expression turned dark as he prepared to push her away, but Nina intervened, grabbing her arm.

"Miss Wallace!"

Nina's intervention surprised Nash, his eyes showing a slight change.

Melody glanced at Nina. "Aren't you Nash's secretary?"

Nina's gaze turned cold. "We're in a hospital, with plenty of eyes around. You're getting handsy with Mr. York. Aren't you concerned about attracting gossip?" Melody didn't take kindly to this subordinate's tone. "Others will only see Mr. York and me as a perfect match. Why do you feel the need to meddle so much?"
