Dressing Up
Nicole figured she should call Evan since he was also in K Nation. She wanted him to keep an eye on
Nina so that Nina wouldn’t go looking for Chris.
With this in mind, Nicole stood up without hesitation and headed upstairs to call Evan.
“Nicole, what’s wrong?”
“Please keep an eye on Nina so that she won’t find out about Chris. I’m worried she’ll do something
silly.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Nina doesn’t leave her grandfather’s side. She wouldn’t have the time to go
out.”
“I still feel uneasy about this. Nina has always been a rebel. As for my father, why don’t you bring him
back to Imperial Garden when it’s appropriate? We’ll then have the excuse to bring Nina back earlier
too.”
“Sure. I’ll make the necessary arrangements for that to happen.”
They made some small talk about things at home, and Evan reminded Nicole to take care of her health
before he asked about the kids.
It wasn’t until then that Nicole was reminded about Davin bringing Maya on a blind date with Wilbur the
next day. After she ended the call, she headed to Maya’s bedroom and reminded her to dress up nicely
for the occasion. She also reminded Maya to be more polite at the meeting.
Maya frowned. “Mommy, I’m just going to meet the client with Uncle Davin as his assistant. Why should
I take this so seriously?”
Client? Are you really that oblivious to not see your uncle Davin’s intention?
Nicole cleared her throat. “You’re indeed going to the meeting as your uncle Davin’s assistant, but they
know your father and the fact that you’re from Seet Group. Everything you say and do will represent the
entire company. That’s why you have to be more aware of your actions and demeanor.”
Maya sighed. “Mommy, I finally understand how challenging it is to work as someone’s assistant.”
“I believe you’re capable of doing this.”
“You’re right. I’ll do my best to not embarrass Uncle Davin and Seet Group.”
Nicole smiled faintly upon hearing that. I hope you’ll meet your ideal man tomorrow, and I hope your
love life won’t be as complicated as Nina’s.
The next day, Maya woke up early to dress up. She was applying makeup in front of her vanity desk. If
Nina was here with me, she would be in charge of my makeup, and I won’t have to spend a whole hour
doing it myself.
After that, she changed into her favorite black suit. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and was
satisfied with the career-woman look she had that day.
She gave herself a thumbs-up. “Maya, you’re the brightest star in the career world. You can do this!”
After she made her way to the living room, Kyle and Juan looked strangely at her.
“Maya, why are you all dressed up?”
“I’m meeting a client with Uncle Davin later for an important project. Do I look like a strong, capable
woman like this?”
Juan sized her up. “You look amazing!”
Maya turned around to look at Kyle. “What do you think?”
“You look smart enough to be a top assistant.”
Maya was delighted to hear that. She was about to run off to find her mother when she abruptly heard
Nicole’s voice from behind her.
“Maya, why are you wearing that?”
“Mommy, do I look great in this? Do I look like a strong career woman?”
The outfit is excellent if you’re meeting a client, but it’s a little too formal for a blind date.
“Maya, let me pick you another outfit instead.”
“Mommy, why should I change when I look great in this?”
“Just listen to me and follow me to your bedroom.”
