"You are fired." Derrick yelled at the lady whose hands flew to her mouth immediately.
She knelt down and began pleading in tears, she didn't know Mr. Xaxin will be different from other single billionaire bachelors out there.
"I am sorry Sir, I am sorry. I promise you. I will never try it again." She pleaded.
"What was your offense?" Derrick asked icily.
The lady opened her mouth and closed it back with no words coming out of it.
"I asked you a question Miss Boise, why am I firing you?" He asked again hitting his desk loudly which made the lady flinch in fright.
She have heard a lot about Mr. Xaxin but she never thought he will be this frightening and cold.
His expression right now is enough to scare anyone.
"Get out of my office if you can't speak." He yelled.
The lady gulped down the lump that was forming in her throat as she tried speaking.
"I... I... I... I... I tried seducing you Sir, I am sorry please don't fire me." the lady said in embarrassment.
Derrick breathed out as he stood up to the window backing the kneeling lady.
" Miss Boise." He called calmly.
"Y.yes Sir." She replied stuttering.
"You just began working here two weeks ago, did you read the rule book? What did number fifteen says?" Derrick asked.
"Do not make advances at your boss, never try to seduce him. Any lady that does that will be fired and paraded like someone who committed a treason." She said.
"You are aware of this then why did you try seducing me? Were you trying to see my reaction Miss Boise?" Derrick asked facing her.
Miss Boise shook her head in embarrassment, if she escapes this. She will avoid Derrick forever as long as she walks in this agency.
"I have been in a good mood lately, I will make this a warning to you. If you ever try this again, I will make sure I make you miserable that you prefer dying to living. Get out of my sight dèja vu."
"I promise you Mum, I will fix this." Sia said straightening her gown.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to bring more trouble to us." Mrs. Hilton said skeptically.
"I won't, I just have to apologize to Nina. Since Mr. Derrick likes her hard work, maybe she can help me beg him not to blacklist my name from all the jobs." Sia replied hopefully.
She's just hoping, nothing more.
"Dad." David called still hugging his father tightly.
"Water... water.water." the man whispered.
" Stay calm Dad, Anna, Anna."
David shouted in no time, a maid burst through the door.
"Yes Sir." She answered politely bowing her head.
"Get him water, hurry." David instructed and Anna rushed out. It wasn't up to a minute she came back with a glass of water.
David sat his Dad with a pillow supporting his back before giving him the water.
When the Man took the water to his satisfaction and breathed out.
"How are you feeling Dad? Are you hungry? What did you want to eat?" David asked.
The man shook his head looking around his room.
His eyes landed on the family portrait hanging on the wall.
Tears welled up in his eyes, he couldn't help it. The tears began pouring on his cheeks.
David's gaze followed his father's and he quickly stood up, took the picture crashing it on the floor.
"This shouldn't make you cry Dad, you are just waking up after fifteen good years and the first thing you do is to cry?" David asked trying hard to suppress his tears.
He thought he had gotten rid of the picture all this while. His father wouldn't have woken up to it.
"You can't do this to me and yourself Dad, we are trying to move on. Please get well first Dad"
David sat down with his Dad's head leaning on his shoulder as he gently rub his back.
"I miss them." the man said sniffing...
"Wait! What? Your husband? You are married?" Rochas screamed but Nina was quick enough to cover his mouth.
" Keep it low big brother and yes, I am married." Nina replied.
Rochas stared speechlessly at her. She's married? His sister is married.
"How? When?" He blurted out the questions before he could stop himself.
"Well, about three weeks after I left the house. So, I am glad I did anyways." Nina grinned.
She knows her brother is confused but she chose to play with his intelligence.
Rochas breathed out in anger? sadness? And fright?
His sister has gotten married to some old rich men to get this position!
He was right! But why?
"Don't tell me you got married to that old man that own this LBC Corporation? Tell me you didn't do it because of this agency and money, if that's the reason. You are filing a divorce right away." Rochas said angrily.
But surprisingly, Nina began laughing at him.
What he said wasn't funny so why is he laughing huh?
He can't allow his sister to be married to an old man, she will never enjoy the marriage.
All he wants is Nina's happiness.
"I didn't say anything funny." Rochas snarled.
"Why are you angry Rochas? Are you still that over protective big brother? C'mon Rochas, I am a grown up now, I know what's good for me."
"And besides, I am not married to Mr. Brian. I will never get married because of money. Come to think of it, as much as Mr. Brian is rich and as expensive this phone is, if he wants to get it for me then his agency will go into bankruptcy." Nina elaborated.
Rochas thought about it, the amount of this tiny phone Nina is using is someone's wealth.
The whole of LBC Corporation is a child's play compared to it.
"Then who is your husband?" He asked again, this time calmly.
Knowing that Nina isn't married to an old man calmed him down a bit.
"Promise me you won't tell anyone that I am married, not Dad, Mum or our sisters. I want it to be a secret for now, if I want to let the world know about my marriage, I should be the one to tell them." Nina said.
"Fine! I promise, no one will know about it." Rochas said as he matched his finger with Nina's which made her chuckled.
