"Miss, you should not come out like this. You are still so weak" one of the nurses urged Nina when they found her standing outside in the corridor. The nurse felt pity for Nina who was crying outside.
"He is not worth it. Come, you are still young and have a beautiful future ahead of you. Don't let a man like that ruin your happiness like this. If he doesn't want you, then you can find someone who would cherish the ground you walk on. Come, you have to recover first for that to happen" Ella urged Nina.
Ella's words made Nina look away from Theo and Chelsea and concentrate on the beautiful woman standing beside her.
"I am sorry, I can't recollect your name" Nina said trying to remember where she met this woman who looked familiar.
Ella laughed with mirth at her words.
"That's because we never met before. Let me introduce myself. I am Ella Vincent. The CEO of the Perfume company 'Fragrance' " Ella introduced herself.
That's when Nina recollected where she saw Ella before. She saw her on the news. Nina recollected that Ella lost her husband recently and is struggling to run the company her husband left for her. The shareholders and the board of directors are pressurising her to sell her shares and leave the company because she couldn't turn the company over after her husband's death. Now the shares of her company are at an all time low.
"Hello Miss Ella, it's a pleasure meeting you" Nina shook hands with the sweet lady.
"Come, let's go" Ella urged Nina to go back to her room.
Nina agreed and walked back inside. After the nurse made sure that she reattached all the wires Nina pulled out earlier, she left to get the doctor to check Nina who was out of Coma.
"I am sorry. It was me who was responsible for your accident. I was drunk and I risked your life along with mine. I know my apology won't cut it, but I am willing to do anything you want from my side" Ella offered honestly.
Nina was quiet for a while. She is not angry with Ella. Because this accident showed her how much Theo values her life. This is the wakeup call she needed to wake up from the night mare from which she refused to back out.
"I have to thank you. This accident showed me that I have to move on and give myself more credit than I am giving. I just cannot let anyone trample on my self esteem. I have allowed too many people to play with my life. Not anymore. If you want to help me, then I have a proposal. If you agree, then it will be beneficial for both of us" Nina spoke maturely for the first time after she married Theo. She was blinded by her love for too long.
Ella became curious about Nina's proposal.
