Nina was only one person, and she could not refute everyone. Tears welled up in her eyes as she cried out, “It’s not true! What you say isn’t true. It’s not!” Her shouts woke her from that horrid dream, and her eyes flew open as she shot up on her bed.
Sweat beaded her forehead.
After a moment of collecting herself, Nina sighed in relief upon realizing it had just been a dream. Yet, those harsh comments still echoed in her mind.
Furthermore, she could not get the disappointed expressions of her parents out of her head.
No. I won’t let Mommy and Daddy down. I can’t mess up the press conference.
With that thought in mind, she climbed out of her bed and began planning her act on her laptop.
The social media influencer had told her that a good script and a planned act were the only ways her fans would buy her products. He had told her that it was the only way to establish her reputation.
With the influencer’s words in her mind, she wrote a touching story that would manipulate people into trusting her and her products. She was sure that if the press conference proceeded according to the script, she would become the best in the makeup industry.
Two days later came the day for the press conference.
Nina looked at Nicole and Evan. She was confident that this press conference would make her, as well as the Seet Group, famous in the makeup industry.
Her parents shared a look. Noticing Nina’s confidence, they were sure she had made enough preparations and were looking forward to her event.
“Nina, do your best,” Nicole encouraged.
“Nina, Daddy believes in you.”
“Okay, I will. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you, Mommy.”
“Good luck, Nina!” Maya cried out cheerfully.
“Thank you, Maya. You’ll see how impressive I can be soon.”
Nina was determined to show her capabilities as a social media influencer.
Hearing those words, like her parents, Maya was eager for her conference.
