Chapter 1718 I Am His Girlfriend
Nina was surprised by Maya’s outburst.
“Do you want me to go in your stead?”
Maya nodded quickly. “Is that okay with you? You don’t have to make small talks with him. Just hand him the termination letter and ask for his signature.”
“Maya, why are you so scared to see him?”
“I’m not scared. I just don’t want to. I don’t want to see that jerk.”
She’s avoiding him, which means she still cares about him and hasn’t let him go yet. A trip there might be useful since I want to find out what is going on between Wilbur and that woman.
“It’s fine. Going on your behalf is a huge favor. How are you going to thank me?”
Maya had not expected Nina to agree without a fight, so she was slightly surprised. She swiftly pouted when Nina began talking about gratitude. “We’re sisters, so there’s no need to thank you.”
“Nope. Even when we’re sisters, you still should thank me!”
I had helped her so much when she was brokenhearted before, but did I ask her for her gratitude? Not once.
“Nina, I have helped you a lot in the past, too. When you were heartbroken and decided to vent your frustration with food, which might I remind, all of it was made by me. You wouldn’t have gained weight if I didn’t take such good care of you.”
Well, I guess she has a point.
“Fine. I’ll help you for free this time. You’ll have to pay if you want my help next time.”
After thinking for some time, Maya agreed, “Deal.”
“Give me the documents. I’ll head to Wilbur’s company now.”
“Give me a minute.”
A while later, Maya came downstairs with the documents and handed them to Nina. The latter merely took a glimpse at it before tucking them into her bag.
“Okay, wait for my good news.”
Maya let out a relieved sigh as she watched Nina leave. Once Wilbur signs that termination letter, he’ll have nothing to do with me. We’ll have a clean slate. It’s a good thing, but why do I feel sad? Why are you sad, dear self? You’re right to dump a cheating jerk like him.
Even when she consoled herself, she still could not shake off the dejected feeling in her chest.
With that, she climbed the stairs to her bedroom with a decadent look. She needed some sleep to heal her broken heart.
In the meantime, Nina had arrived at Simpson Group. After parking her car in the parking lot, she strode to the lobby with light steps.
When she was inside, she studied her surrounding as she walked further. Even though the Simpson family can’t compare to the Seets, their company environment is clean and neat, and their interior designs are stylish.
Reaching the lobby, she approached the receptionist. “Hi, which floor is Mr. Simpson’s office?”
“The 22nd floor.”
“Thank you.”
“Miss, do you have an appointment with Mr. Simpson?”
Stunned, Nina answered, “Do I need to make an appointment?”
“Yes, Mr. Simpson was absent for a while, so many people are queuing to meet him.”
A sly smile crossed Nina’s face. “I don’t need to make an appointment because I’m his girlfriend. He was absent from the office because he was traveling with me.”
The receptionist gave her a once-over to discern if she was telling the truth.
“Don’t believe me? Go ahead and give him a call, then.”
“Please wait.”
The receptionist then called Wilbur’s assistant.
The assistant inquired Wilbur’s opinion after relaying the receptionist’s message.
Hearing that, Wilbur was baffled as a frown appeared on his face. “Who did you say wants to meet me?”
“Your girlfriend!”
I don’t have a girlfriend, though. Maya doesn’t want to be with me anymore, so she won’t use that card to look for me. Could it be Janice?
“What’s her name?”
The receptionist asked for Nina’s name, to which the latter answered, “I’m Maya.”
Maya?
Wilbur was beyond surprised. He quickly instructed the receptionist to send Nina up and sent his assistant to go down to the lobby and bring her up personally.
