Inside the conference hall, a lot of reporters were already gathered. This was a huge discovery for them since it involved one of the powerful families in the whole of City X.
Inside the resting room, Thomas was getting ready. He was dressed in a blue-black tuxedo and paired it with black shoes.
One visible thing about him was the scar that was no longer there. Since he was going to reveal himself, he had to get rid of the scar. Without the scar, he was back to being Thomas Sun, the first young master of the Sun family. Without the scar, he was even more handsome.
''Thomas, are you ready?'' Xia entered the room and asked.
''Yes''
''Let's go. Mikael and the others are already seated at the back with aunt''
''Alright, let's do this'' Thomas smiled and followed Xia out to the hall.
The moment, they entered, the hall turned into an uproar with a lot of the reporters taking pictures. Some even gasped at his appearance.
''Everyone, please sit. We will make time for the pictures to be taken. Right now, we will go straight to answering the questions that you have forwarded to me''
The reporters calmed down and sat back. They got their recorders and notepads ready to write down whatever answers that Thomas was going to give.
…..
City X Prison.
Watching the screen carefully, Daniel Song laughed. He was holding his plate of food, standing in the middle of the prison canteen.
''Hey! Crazy man. What kind of noise is that?'' a group of inmates walked towards him. The person who asked the question seemed to be the leader since he had about ten people walking behind him.
Daniel turned to look at them. He glared at the man. ''Leave me alone'' he yelled at the man and threw his plate at the group of people.
''Hey! Teach him a lesson'' the man commanded and the inmates behind him surrounded Daniel and started beating him.
….
First Hospital.
Mimi was watching Solace as she packed her things into the luggage bag. She had just being discharged and was getting ready to go home.
''Mom, thank you'' Mimi said and hugged Solace.
''Why are you suddenly thanking me?''
''I just feel like thanking you. For not abandoning me, for forgiving me and for staying by myself''
''Silly girl, what is there to thank me? We are a family and family stick together in good times and in bad times. If you are grateful, then, make me proud by becoming the best of yourself''
Mimi smiled and nodded her head, ''yes, I will do that''
''Aunt, are you ready?'' the door opened and Wales entered. He looked at Mimi whose gaze was lowered the moment he arrived.
''Yes, go with Mimi to the car first. I want to get the review schedule from the doctor'' Solace told them and handed the bag over to Wales.
''Let's go'' Wales said to Mimi and walked away.
Mimi walked out of the hospital slowly, trying to create a distance between her and Wales. She was still embarrassed by all the things that he had witnessed her go through. It was something she wished she could wipe away.
Wales opened the backseat and kept the luggage inside before turning to her, ''are you going to keep your head lowered forever?''
''Huh?'' Mimi finally looked up. She flushed and looked away again.
''You…'' Wales stopped when Mimi's phone started ringing. He looked at her and asked, ''are you not going to answer that?''
Mimi removed the phone from her handbag and answered it, ''hello, yes this is she? No, I don't have anything doing with that man. Please don't call me again if something happens to him'' Mimi hung up the call and sighed.
"Wad that from your father?''
''Yes''
''He was badly wounded during a fight that took place in the prison this morning. Are you really not going to see him?''
''No, I am not. Please, don't tell mom about the call. I don't want her to get worried. That man and I have nothing doing with each other''
''I see'' Wales kept his gaze on her as they stood facing each other. Mimi became conscious of it and touched her face asking.
''Is there something on my face?''
''Let's go'' Solace said as she walked to them. Wales nodded his head and got into the driver's seat. Solace joined him in the front while Mimi sat in the back.
Mimi lowered her gaze again when she noticed Wales looking at her through the mirror. She felt extremely conscious so she moved closer to the door, hiding behind the driver's seat.
When Wales noticed her behavior, he smiled and shook his head.
…..
Niania got down from the taxi and hurried inside the conference centre. She met Assistant He at the door and stopped in front of him.
''Miss Gu, come with me''
''Oo'' Niania nodded her head and went with him. Assistant He sent her to the resting room where a giant TV was. It was broadcasting live from inside the conference centre.
''Miss Gu, Mr. Sun said you can wait here. He will be with you shortly''
''Alright'' Niania sat down and placed her bag on the table. She watched Thomas on the screen and muttered, 'he is so handsome''
….
''We will end our session here. If anyone has more questions, you can forward them to my assistant and I will have Mr. Sun answer them. Thank you everyone for coming and taking part in this very important event''
Thomas stood up along with Xia after they concluded everything. He hugged Xia before going out.
Thomas looked around the hallway when he got to the door before going inside. He wanted to make sure that no one was around to distract him. He entered and walked straight to Niania.
''Thomas…'' Niania swallowed her next words when Thomas crashed his lips unto hers. He pulled her up from the seat and started kissing her with passion.
After a while, he let go when Niania was losing her breath. He looked at her and chuckled, ''I missed you so much''
''I missed you too''
''Come, let's leave before the others come…'' Thomas held Niania's hand and they turned. The bag in Niania's hand fell down when she saw the people at the door.
Alice's mini cup of ice cream fell down and she exclaimed, ''Niania! You….''
''Busted!'' Mikael murmured as he looked at Thomas with a smug expression.
…..
Sun family house.
''Brother in law, how could you do this to me?'' Alice asked as she glared at Thomas who was holding Niania's hand as they sat across everyone in the hall.
''Alice, I…''
''Shut up! This is between Thomas and I'' Alice said and turned to Thomas, ''tell me. How did you manage to seduce my clueless Niania who has never fallen in love before? Wait! Niania, he is not threatening you, right? You have to tell me''
''What do you take me for? A thug? Why would I threaten her? We are in love''
''Whoa, this is definitely something I wasn't expecting. My assistant and my brother in law? But, why am I the only one who looks surprised? Xia, did you know about this already?''
''Well, I found out a few days ago but it's their privacy. I couldn't have possibly talked about it to you''
''Then, elder sister, did you know about this already too?''
''Well, I felt Thomas' behavior towards your assistant was weird but that's how love is, right?''
''No, I am against this relationship'' Alice stood up.
''Alice, I really like Thomas'' Niania protested.
''Whoa! You like him? Thomas, what did you do to my assistant?''
''I will take care of Niania very well if that is what you are worried about''
''Alice, I am happy with him''
''Alright, you win. You know I can't say no to you anyways. But I will be watching especially you, brother in low. You better not hurt my Niania''
''Does that make us a family now?'' Natalie stood up and hugged Niania adding, 'I am happy you are the one Thomas fell for. You two look good together''
''Thank you''
''Aye, I can't even claim my own assistant fully now because she has a boyfriend'' Alice stood up and hugged Niania.
''Thank you, Alice. I was afraid that you will not accept me. I should have told you first. I'm sorry''
''What is there to be sorry about? This is your happiness''
''Natie, let's leave the new couple to spend time with themselves. We still have a wedding to go to'' Mikael stood up and held Natalie's hand.
''What wedding?'' Xia asked.
''Lucy's wedding'' Natalie replied.
''She sent me an invite. I will go after finishing my work tomorrow'' Alice said and also stood up.
Thomas followed them to the door and closed it after everyone left. He turned to Niania and looked at her with a smile.
''Everyone now knows about us'' Niania said.
''Isn't that better.. We wouldn't have to hide anymore'' Thomas pulled her closer and kissed her.
