"This is unexpected Mr. Xaxin, I feel honoured." Mr. Brian said giving him a handshake.
"Oh well, I came down here because of the new model in your agency. I heard she's very intelligent and unique." Derrick said taking his eyes off Nina.
Her cheeks turned red while Lia winked at her.
He's really here to play games. Lia thought within herself, she will just stay here and watch how they are secretly going to flaunt their affections.
"That's true Mr. Xaxin, Nina is really a blessing to my agency." Mr. Brian replied proudly.
"Can I see her? To congratulate her at least." Derrick said pretending not to see his wife with the corner of his lips twitching.
"Sorry Mr. Xaxin, I should have introduced her earlier. This is Nina, the pride of LBC Corporation." Mr. Brian said the smile not leaving his face one bit.
This is the best day of his life!
"It's nice meeting you Mr. Xaxin, I feel highly honoured to have you come down here because of me."
Nina said politely like she's meeting him for the first time.
"You are such a beautiful lady, congratulations on your wins. I admire you a lot." Derrick said truthfully. To others it might just be a word but he really meant it.
The place became more crowded, paparazzi capturing them and the people screaming.
Nina is really a lucky person to be noticed by the world famous Derrick.
"Thank you Mr. Xaxin, I am flattered by your comment"
Nina replied smilling. This was Derrick's motive, to make her more famous definitely.
"Its nothing beautiful, can I take a picture with you?"
The crowd gasped in surprise. Ah! Nina is so lucky! Derrick asked to take a picture with her.
Someone they are all dying to take a picture with. Can someone be luckier?
"It will be a pleasure Mr. Xaxin." Nina went closer to him.
Derrick handed his phone to Mr. Arthur as he placed his hand on Nina's shoulder taking a step closer to her.
Nina's face turned red like tomato from blush.
Witnessing all this, all other plans Mr. Micheals had vanished. Replaced with total anger.
This brat of a daughter! She has gained favour from Derrick too.
He stormed his feet angrily thinking of what to do.
An idea came into his head and he smiled brilliantly.
"It's a pleasure meeting you Mr. Xaxin, Nina is my daughter. I brought her up to be this brilliant infact, she got her brilliancy from me. It's a trait. My beautiful daughter got it from me, isn't it Nina?"
He said smiling widely. The place became totally silent that if a pin drop it could be heard.
Derrick glanced at him then at Nina.
Mr. Micheal? What is he doing here?
Derrick turned his hand in a fist, smilling through anger.
Nina shifted gazing at her father. What did he take her for? A fool?
"Sorry Mr. Xaxin, he's not my father. He might be some random man trying to gain your attention, sorry to say but my father died long ago. I don't know this man claiming to be my father, I have never met him before"
Nina said calmly with no expression on her face.
Once again, the crowd's attention went back to Mr. Micheal who stood frozen.
This time around, it was stares of anger.
Why will a respectable man like Mr. Micheal lie to gain Derrick's attention?
You are such a shameless man, did you have to lie? Our Derrick could have been so kind enough if you have just greeted him instead of saying that you are Nina's father
Someone yelled from the crowd. The crowd went in a uproar again with people muttering different types of words.
I wouldn't have believed him, did Mr. Micheal think we don't know all his children? We've never seen Nina in the picture of his children he shows to the world
Yes! He has just three children, Sintia Micheal, Jenna Micheal and Rochasander Micheal. I love the way Nina denied it
Such a disgrace to the rich society
Or did he think that because he has Nina's surname, he can play any of us here? It's just a pure coincidence
Mr. Micheal stayed mute in total shock as people call him all sorts of names.
He is so shock that he finds it difficult to move.
If anyone ever told him that Nina will deny and disgrace him in a public place like this, he wouldn't believe a bit.
His face turned red in embarrassment as people hit and insult him.
He felt so angry but he couldn't do anything than to face the crowd in shame.
How dare she disgrace him? There's nothing he can say to make this angry people understand that Nina is really his daughter.
There's no proof of it. Truly, he has never regarded Nina as his daughter. Not even a single family picture is she in.
They've never gone to events with her, they'd rather give her loads of works to do at home.
If he had known this will affect his reputation one day, he could have made her known to the public.
That doesn't imply that he will ever like her. That fatherly love can never go to Nina.
She doesn't deserve it.
Mr. Micheal fist his hand in anger, he wish he could strangle this brat in front of him.
He so much detest her.
"Mr. Micheal." Derrick called with his cold gaze piercing into Nina's father's.
The place became as dead as the graveyard immediately they heard Derrick's voice.
Derrick rejoice in his heart, this is the opportunity he's been looking for all this while Nina asked him not to help her.
He will make so much use of this one. The thought of that made him so happy.
"Did you know the gravity of what you just did? Lying to my face?"
The crowd looked from the cold Derrick to Mr. Micheal.
They can't wait for him to pass his judgement, people like Mr. Micheal will learn.
No one has ever gone freely after offending Derrick.
His word his law and his punishment will make anyone quiver in fear of their lives.
Derrick doesn't kill but what he did to people who have offended him in the past is something inexplicable.
