episode 3

"What the heck is it!!", Nina was on her car.

"Dave Huo wants me to pretend as his girlfriend!"

Nina was really surprised hearing Dave's so called 'deal'.

"I was there hoping a business deal, who would've thought it was for such a thing?", Nina sighed. A young entrepreneur who just only cares about the growth of her company was utterly disappointed.

'ring...ring...', it was Nina's mother's call.

"Yes mom,tell me", Nina answered the call.

"Nina, how are you dear? Are you doing well?"

"Yes mom, I'm.. and how about your health?"

"Don't care about me,I'm getting old".

"Mother...!", Nina frowned.

"Okay okay, leave it. When will you be here?"

"I'm on my way to home. I'll quickly take a shower and come. I'll be there by evening",Nina said.

"Okay I'll wait for you dear, take care!"

"Take care, mom", Nina hung up the phone.

' I maybe is a foster child, but mom always treats me as her own child', Nina thought. ' I am happy to be with my mom and not to be with the people who abandoned me'.

Nina sighed.

Nina reached her home, quickly had a shower and wore a spaghetti top and cotton regular fit trousers.She set out for her mother's village.

" Mmmm... Spending weekend at mom's place is the best ", Nina stretched her arms as she got out from the car.

'this week has been very tiring'.

'Who's car is it?' Nina wondered seeing the car parked outside her mother's home. Then Butler Xi's name came to her mind. Mr.Xi is butler of the house where Nina's father lives now with his new family. He was appointed by Nina's grandfather. So he is quite loyal to Nina's mother.

' there'll be some urgent matters, otherwise butler Xi won't be here', Nina said to herself. ' I wonder what problem has those two made'.

Nina was about to enter the house. But...

"Mrs.Mo, you should do something, otherwise your shares will be gone.." Butler Xi said.

'The shares!!', Nina was stunned.

"But Butler Xi..... How Can I ?", despair was clearly visible in her sound. "I don't care if I get it or not, but Nina... my child deserves it".

"Mr. Carson has already decided to transfer shares to Ms.Ava."

"But that's my father's property, how can he give to his mistress's child?", Nina's mother was really angered.

"I don't know madam", Butler Xi replied.

'Anyway what can Butler Xi do? We are totally helpless.' Nina let a sigh out of despair.

" My father only had one wish that all that shares go to Nina; my daughter". Nina felt her mother was weeping.

"Mrs.Mo, I can't do anything! I'm nothing but a mere servant. I just came here to inform you", Butler Xi said. " I'll leave then".

Butler Xi was surprised to see Nina and put on a fake smile. Nina smiled at him to; just same as his, a fake smile!

When Nina entered the house she saw her mother weeping. When she saw Nina she tried to wipe away the tears and smile. But from Nina's expression she guessed that Nina has heard everything.

" It's nothing Nina, let it be.. Let's hope this is our fate", her mother was trying her best to hide her emotions.

"Mother... !" Nina rushed to hug her mother.

"Mother, I promise you! I'll get back our share no matter what".

"But Nina..."

"No 'but'.. believe me; I will "... Nina said. " No matter what!!!", she repeated.
