Mr. President You Are The Daddy Of My Triplets novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: 178- Will Nina Ever Stop?

There was pin-drop silence in the room. Not even a whisper or a sound could be heard. Though Marissa and Dean were at an arm’s length, but she was still holding his hand.

Nina eyed her hand and Marissa’s gaze followed where she was looking.

But no.

Marissa didn’t try to shove away Dean’s hand. In fact, she gripped it more tightly and raised her chin to look straight into Nina’s eyes quite boldly.

At last, Valerie came forward, "What is going on here? When all this time we were waiting for the door to be opened, you are here doing this?" She pointed to their adjoined hands and made a face while shaking her head.

Marissa managed an easy-going smile on her face, "Care to explain what did I do, miss?" she didn’t even want to take her name.

Those two names always brought bitterness to her mouth. Yuk!

Their faces brought back all the bad memories, and she wanted to puke while they were standing in front of her.

"Don’t try to hide your actions under that shameless pretense," Nina growled and was about to say more when heard the same distinct voice.

"Everyone! Out of my office. Now!" Rafael announced to everyone in a clipped tone.

"Yes, please," Valerie rolled her eyes, "it’s a family matter and it should stay within the family."

She was happy that everyone witnessed the drama. She had scored extra marks for this show.

"I said... everybody out!" Rafael said without turning to her, "That includes you too, ma’am." He was talking to Valerie, but his eyes were on Marissa.

"Valerie," Nina nudged her elbow in Valerie’s side, "You should go, I guess," Obviously, as a mom, she wanted to favor Rafael. The office staff had already witnessed what Nina wanted to show them. Now they could go to hell for all she cared.

The crowd slowly started moving out without saying a word. Valerie was already feeling the humiliation. Rafael didn’t even look at her and now asked her to leave, in front of the whole office staff.

Soon they would understand that he wasn’t much involved in her. Usually, the husbands who had extramarital affairs, used to shower expensive gifts and affection on their wives, publicly.

However, Rafael was indifferent to her. Like she was nothing for him.

Valerie turned reluctantly and followed the crowd when she heard Rafael’s voice behind her.

"You too, mom. Please go out."

Oh! Valerie wanted to dance and celebrate.

Nina Sinclair! The Mommy!

"What?" Nina’s surprised voice reached her ears and she had to control the smile.

Poor mommy!

When the door was closed by Nina, Rafael turned to Marissa who was still holding Dean’s hand. The stubbornness was evident on her face.

"Dean. You can go too," Rafael’s eyes were on Marissa when he said that. Dean nodded and tried to free his hand, but Rafael’s stubborn wife wasn’t letting it go.

"Won’t you ask us what he is doing here in the office? Just like others, aren’t you interested to know?" Rafael found his first small smile when he heard her question.

He walked over and held her other hand, "Dean. Out!" he said in a whisper.

Marissa’s grip on Dean’s hand lessened, he easily freed his hand and walked away. Before exiting the room, he gave the last look to Marissa and then tried to speak after clearing his throat, "W-we are v-very good friends. M-mister Sinclair."

"I. Said. Out!" It took every ounce of his willpower not to shout at Dean.

Dean quickly got out and found the crowd still standing outside the office along with Nina and Valerie whispering something.

When Valerie saw him, she straightened and offered him a smile, "I believe in you. Don’t worry. I know that you are a good employee. An asset for us."

Dean frowned, looking at her, and then went to the nearby cubicle to take out a file. Valerie followed him like a puppy, "By the way, what was going on?" she looked around and then whispered, "You can tell me. Did she call you there?"

Dean stayed quiet and took out a few files keeping his mind focused on them.

He could feel the eyes of all the people standing there on his back. He couldn’t blame them. After all, they found Dean hugging Marissa.

Though he was known to be a reserved man among his colleagues.

"Answer me, Dean," Valerie said in a hushed tone and the only word Dean could think of was, obstinate.
