"You two should go, I can dress myself." Nina replied.
"But young Mistress..."
"No buts, and I am Nina not young Mistress. Call me Nina."
Nina playfully rolled her eyes at them.
"We are sorry Young Mistress, we will both loose our jobs if we disrespect you by calling you by name."
The maids quickly interjected, they will not only loose their jobs but Young Master can make their life a living hell if they dare disrespect the woman he adores so much.
Not only the Young Master, including the entire family of the Xaxin. Death is not what they wish for themselves.
Nina just sighed without making a comment on it. Typical Derrick, she knows right.
"Fine, but you two can leave. Inform Nat... The young master that I will be with him shortly."
She said without giving a room for any argument.
Few minutes later...
Nina couldn't help but giggle at her image in the mirror.
The dress fit her so perfectly revealing all her massive curves.
Derrick's taste is not bad after all.
She shook her phone inside her bag dashing into the living room.
Derrick choked on the meal he was eating the moment he saw Nina.
Damn it!
He cursed under his breath.
His eyes scanned Nina thoroughly.
If he had known it will reveal her curves this much, he wouldn't have bought it.
Now other men will feed their lustful gaze on her.
He sighed gulping down some water.
He can't tell her to change anyways, she's a model and this type of dresses are required for her.
Guess he have to get used to it.
Derrick looked away immediately Nina caught him staring at her.
His ears reddened in embarrassment.
"Good morning Derrick." Nina greeted taking her seat opposite Derrick.
"Good morning beautiful" Derrick grinned while Nina shook her head.
She's getting used to Derrick flirting with her all the time.
Nina began eating the butterscotch schnapps already served.
"You are having your first photoshoot today."
Derrick said. That wasn't a question was it?
"Yeah." Nina answered courtly. She just hopes that anyone she's going to share the stage with won't be an impediment to her.
She's not ready for one, the only encumber she has to face now is that of her family.
She wonders how they are doing without her.
Her face darken at their thoughts, she can't let their thoughts ruin a bright day like this for her.
"I believe you will do well Nina,did you need me to come with you to the shoot?"
Derrick asked and Nina shook her head.
"I will do just fine Derrick, you don't have to come. Out relationship is a secret remember?" She reminded him.
Derrick groaned in response, he really wants their relationship to be public, he want to show her to the world that Nina is his woman.
But if that's what she wants now, he will endure till she's ready for them to make it public.
Anything is worth sacrificing for his Nina.
"Nina?" He called softly.
"Yeah."
"My mum and sister will be coming by weekend, Mum said she got something to discuss with you."
Nina glanced at him and nodded. As much as she knows Mrs. Xaxin, she's already a mother figure in her life so anything they want to discuss won't be something alarming right?
She shudder the thoughts standing up.
"I am done." She announced. Derrick also stood up and together, they headed to his car.
As already discussed, he dropped her in front of LBC Corporations gate without driving in.
"Thank you." She politely said.
"See you by six?" Derrick asked.
"Yeah, see you by six." Nina nodded as she turned to leave.
"Wait." Derrick's voice rang in her ear. She paused and turned to him.
"You look beautiful my Nina."Before Nina could react, Derrick gave her a cheeky smile and drove off leaving her gaping at the back of his retreating car.
Hours later...
"Are you sure you are ready for this Nina?" Lia asked panicking for the umpteenth time.
She's worried that Nina might make them loose a huge contract.
This CQ Magazines means a lot the LBC Corporation.
She refused to practice or even allow Lia to teach her a few things she needed to know.
How can one be this stubborn? Lia thought to herself.
"Believe in me this once Lia, okay. Let's strike a deal."
Nina said with a signature smirk on her face.
Lia stared confusingly at her. What deal did she want to strike with her?
Within this few days she has spent with Nina, Lia knows that this young woman in front of her is unpredictable.
Behind that calm facade, Lia knows Nina is no doubt very mischievous in her own way.
"What deal?" Lia found herself asking.
"Okay this is it, if this CQ Magazines become a success. You should never doubt me again"
Lia blinked her eyes trying hard not to scoff, she so much hates Nina's guts sometimes.
How can she be so confident that she's going to make the magazine a success even without the photoshoot and publication?
"Deal or no deal?" Lia heard Nina's voice again.
She sighed helplessly. She have no option than to agree with her.
"Deal."
"Good, now let's get going already. You don't want us to get late do you?"
Nina urged Lia. They both packed whatever they will need there.
Both Nina and Lia entered into the company car and drove off to City S.
Nina breathed out to calm her nerves as Lia let the door open for her to hop out.
Finally, they arrived at their destination.
All the people within the vicinity stared at the car that just arrived.
Everyone has been anticipating to see the new model that LBC Corporation will entrust this kind of huge contract with.
The news spread like a wild fire as everyone knows she's a third rated model but...
The moment they set their eyes on the person that stepped out of the car.
Their curiosity died down, it was replaced with their mouth agape.
A few of them blinked their eyes in sheer disbelief.
Nina?
Wait!
