“Well, that’s okay. You can always see him tomorrow! Does he know you want to help him? I’m sure he’ll be happy to hear that.”
“He won’t need my help. He’s already found someone else for that.”
“What? So soon?” Sheila asked in shock before sighing. “Are there really that many people who are as talented as you when it comes to makeup? How did he manage to find someone so quickly?”
Nina smiled wryly. Yeah, I didn’t think it’d happen so quickly either. I shouldn’t have come. The girl suddenly felt like she had come over to K Nation in vain.
“Yeah. He’s found a pretty lady who’s older than me.”
Sheila was stunned into silence.
How does she know so much? Did Chris actually tell her all this?
Why would he do that?
Just as Sheila was deep in her thoughts, Nina spoke up. “I’ll be heading back to my room, Aunt Sheila.”
“Okay. Get some rest. Don’t think about anything else.”
Sheila sighed when she saw how dejected Nina looked. She rushed over only to hear such news. She must be so upset right now. Poor thing!
The woman immediately brought this up to Davin upon returning to their room. “Well, that’s not an entirely bad thing,” Davin remarked after a pause. “In fact, it could be good for Nina. Maybe this will stop her from having feelings for Chris. Besides, they’re like eight to nine years apart. Chris is already of legal age, but Nina isn’t even fifteen yet! How can they ever be together? There’s no way Chris would spend the next few years waiting for her.”
Sheila gave it a thought too before she sighed. “Nina must be so sad now. Chris has pretty much taken root in her heart. She’s going to have such a hard time getting over him.”
“Well, the pain’s only temporary. She’ll be fine eventually,” Davin replied.
Sheila didn’t know what else to say.
I suppose so. Why does fate have to be so cruel? How are we going to console Nina?
