What would A and B be in this diagram? (alien.top)

I'd like to build a small LAN network with two PCs, a NAS and a server for demo app deployment. Based on the vague idea I have, it should minimally look like this:

Diagram of what I am trying to build

(the arrows represent Ethernet cables) The problem is: I'd like to connect both of my PCs to:

(a) the internet
(b) my NAS
(c) my server

However, the Mac mini has only 1x port, so I need something between the cables and the machine. I could install other Ethernet ports on the Workstation, but it depends what the other option is.

Thank you in advance!!

Modem >>> ROUTER first. United the modem in your diagram is a router combo unit.
I need to read more about your post in a bit.
