Mr. President: You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: 158- Let’s Focus On Marissa Aaron

“Stop rolling your eyes at me!” Nina snarled and this time Kate thought that she might get murdered by this woman.

She had just gotten a chance to prove herself as a leader, but she didn’t want to lose her life after this venue decision.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Sinclair,” She hurriedly apologized but inside, she was fuming.

Valerie had crossed her arms, “This isn’t the point. We just want to be included in every decision. You might be heading it but I’m sure you don’t know a thing about class.”

Mr. Jeremiah raised his brow and then stepped back, “I think it’s more like a family feud. Sorry, Ms. Kate. I thought you people were professionals.”

Kate didn’t know what to say, “No, Mr. Jeremiah. I also wanted to discuss the position of food tables as we were planning to serve different culturally induced food by multiple chefs. J-just let me handle this and I’ll make sure to get back to you in a minute.”

Jeremiah bowed his head and left the spot.

She sighed and turned to look at the two women who were trying so hard to become the owner and take charge.

She thought for a minute and then gave them an over-brightened smile, showing them her phone, “Excuse me. I need to take this call. It’s on silent mode. Sorry.”

She then walked away and hurriedly dialed Marissa’s number. Thankfully she picked up the phone at the first ring.

“Hey! How did it go?” she asked.

Kate looked behind her, “I … I don’t know, man. It was going good until they stepped in the middle of it,” She said placing her hand on her forehead.

“Ok, Kate. Now listen to me,” she heard Marissa’s gentle voice, “Right now. You are the boss. Take the lead. I repeat. Take the lead but no need to fight them. As a head, I need to see how you can handle the situation.”

As a head?

As a head?

The words were surely calming her nerves. Marissa was really taking her as a head? Then she needed to prove herself to her.

“OK. I’ll try, Marissa.”

“Good. Just don’t forget. No matter what they decide. We’ll go with your decision,” Marissa assured her.

Oh wow! How will it feel when Mr. Sinclair won’t agree with Nina or Valerie but will favor me?

“Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind,” she disconnected the call and returned to the small group where Delinda and Shang Chi were again witnessing the drama.

“Delinda,” she called her name loudly and then announced, “Please come here. They are family. Let them talk in peace.”

The two women were so busy in the arguments that they didn’t realize, the staff of MSin had walked away.

“Delinda. Shang chi,” Kate whispered to them, “I have decided for my table to be placed near that wall. Decide your place so that we can talk to Mr. Jeremiah.”

Peter nodded at her, “She is right. Just decide that table place so that we can walk out of here. I’m getting sick of these ladies.”

Mr. Jeremiah was all sweet about it. He showed them the places where their tables could be arranged and caught the eyes of the guests.

“What about Kate’s table?” Shang Chi asked her, but she shrugged, “She can decide later, Shang. Right now, we need to discuss all the points so that I can present a detailed report to Marissa before going home.”

“Till a few days back you didn’t even want to spend any time with my son, Valerie. You weren’t ready to even listen about Kanderton and now look at you!” Nina raised her hand to point it to her, “Now due to some fu*cking reason, you are here and want to rule MSin Industries. What’s the catch here? What am I missing?”

“Oh, come on, Nina!” Valerie stole a glance at the small group that was now walking out, “He is my husband and spouses do fight. They drift apart too. What I don’t understand is… what are you doing here? Don’t you have a business to run, back home? If I’m not wrong, you have a fashion week coming up soon. Then what brought you to Kanderton?”

“Watch out your tongue, smart mouth! Stop comparing yourself to me. I’m his mom!” Nina hissed.

“And I’m his wife, Nina! For God’s sake!” she pursed her lips in annoyance, “I’m sure the doctor must have cut the umbilical cord when he was born. Or is it still attached?”

“You petty little thing! How dare you!” Nina got ahead to hit her face but then stopped when she heard hushed sounds nearby.

The group that had left them alone in the name of privacy was whispering something to each other.

The woman Kate was telling something to the other people but then she went still when their eyes met.

“H…hello, ma’am. I mean… we thought that maybe we should go home as … we think we can come later…”

“Yeah…” the man whose name was Shang Chi gave them a cute, dimpled smile, “We can have this tour later.”

They almost raced to the exit door and left. Nina could easily hear their giggling sounds.

“Should I ask someone to bring you coffee, ma’am?” The manager asked them, “As you two are Sinclair women, you both deserve a good coffee.”

He might be serious, but Nina didn’t miss the sarcasm in his tone.

“No, thanks.” She started walking away to the exit door.

“Where do you think you are going?” Valerie ran after her, “I’m not done with you, Nina. This is getting too much now.”

Once outside, Nina didn’t approach the car that had brought her there.

“Are you even listening to what I’m trying to say, Nina?” Valerie raised her voice when saw Nina standing there like she was dozing off.

“Did you see them walking out?” Nina asked her and before Valerie could open her mouth, Nina spoke, “They were pretending like they couldn’t finish their job but actually, they have already talked to that manager and finalized everything.”

“B…but… umm…” Valerie didn’t know what to say.

“Do you know this manager was just making fun of us under that serious tone, Valerie?”

This time Valerie didn’t try to speak.

“Valerie. They are doing it because we both are not on the same page.”

This time Valerie’s eyes snapped up to Nina’s face, “Excuse me. What?”

“Yes,” Nina nodded, “For Marissa, we need to be on the same page, Valerie, if we want to defeat her.”

“Nina… are you suggesting…” Valerie trailed off when saw Nina nodding her head.

“We need to put aside our differences, Valerie. If we need to kick Marissa out of our lives and out of Rafael’s life, then we need to work together. Like last time…” After saying that Nina offered her hand to her.

“Whether we accept it or not. We still need each other. Geena and Ethan can wait but before that Marissa needs to go out.”

Valerie kept observing Nina’s face. Maybe she was right.

If she wanted Marissa out, then they needed to plan it together. Because the Marissa she had met earlier was not the same one who left Sangua five years ago.

This woman was someone else.

Valerie sighed and then placed her hand on the outstretched hand of Nina.

“Fine! I am in!”

Nina smiled and squeezed her hand, “Let’s tell her who we really are, Valerie. Let’s focus on Marissa Aaron for now.”
