"I am honoured to collaborate with your wife, Mister Nurhan." Daneen bowed while she was seated down.
Daneen had yet to recognise me! Okay, that was a good sign. It seemed that my makeover was a successful one. I wore a black polyester cascading ruffled midi dress with a v-neckline whereas Nurhan wore a smart casual black long sleeve collared shirt with a beige pants.
"Neen, don't tell me that you forget about me!" I held on to her hands as she was seated beside me in excitement.
Daneen stared at my eyes intensely, trying to remember me. She was gasping in shock. "T-Tasha?! Why are you here? N-no.. I mean what happened?!"
I gave Nurhan the eye signal to leave me and Daneen alone. Nurhan understood and nodded before he left us.
"Babe, I really need your help for my debut. I've lost almost everything," I burst into tears. "Ridhwan and Nurul tried to kill me, but I survived. Ridhwan even sold my business off."
Daneen hugged me tightly to calm me down. "Hey, hey! I'm right here. It's okay, let it out. I knew that Nurul had bad intentions towards you, but who am I to tell you? Nurul was closer to you than I was back then. How could she seduce Ridhwan?! You're her best friend!!"
I let go of Daneen's hug and she helped me to wipe my tears. "It's okay, please tell me anything if you feel uneasy next time. I trust your guts. Back to the deal, are we okay?"
"Okay? We're great to go! I'll make sure you make a name for yourself and make sure you're well-known by the end of this year," Daneen's eyes were full of hatred.
I grasped her hand in worried. "But.. I don't want to use Nurhan's name to be well-known."
"I understand, babe. I can roughly guess your plan. Leave it to me. We can start to implement the collaboration once we're back in Singapore," Daneen patted my shoulder. She smiled flirtatiously this time. "So… How did you get to know Nurhan?"
I covered my face in shyness. "N-no.. I'm too shy to tell."
"Hahaha, it's okay! Kifarah. All I could say is kifarah." Daneen was sincerely happy for me. "The tables have turned, babe. You have me, you have Nurhan and most importantly, your brain."
