22 Complicated
Justin chose to take a shower in another room because it's like Nadine still feels at home in his room.
Justin Wiping his wet head with a towel he walked towards his room, Justin wanted to enter his room but he was afraid to disturb Nadine so he chose to knock first.
A knock on the door startled Nadine, "Oh, is this bed different from mine? Why is it so comfortable to be here." Nadine complained, honestly she didn't want to get out of Justin's bed but she couldn't stay here.
Nadine then rushed downstairs, when she woke up, Nadine realized that there was something strange with her.
There was blood on Justin's bed, suddenly Nadine's body felt weak.
"Did he rape me?"
"Nadine..."
Nadine immediately threw a pillow right on Justin's face who had just entered because Nadine had not answered his call since earlier.
Justin was surprised so he stepped closer to Nadine but once again Nadine threw a pillow at him.
"What's wrong with you?" Justin asked annoyed.
"I should be the one asking! What's wrong with you? What did you do to me when I was drunk last night?" Nadine shouted in annoyance, she felt so angry as if she was going to explode right now.
"Are you crazy? I didn't do anything to you!" Justin dodged, he raised his voice because he didn't accept Nadine's accusation.
"Look at that! There's blood on the bed..."
"Then?"
"I was a virgin this whole time, Justin!"
"Oh my gosh ..." Justin laughed when he saw the blood on his bed, he immediately turned his face and closed his eyes.
"Why are you laughing?" Nadine shouted again, she was so angry that her head felt hot.
Justin didn't answer, he then stepped into his dressing room then came back with a shirt, and stepped towards Nadine who immediately stepped back but Justin pulled her hand faster so she couldn't dodge anymore.
Nadine fell silent as Justin tied his shirt around her waist.
"Does your stomach hurt?"
Oh, my pride has collapsed...
Nadine couldn't speak because she was too embarrassed while Justin was still tying his shirt. How could she forget when it was time for her period.
When Justin looked up and smiled, Nadine's shyness slowly turned to nervousness.
As a proud man, Justin has a gentle and caring side that can make her heart flutter.
"You bought sanitary pads yesterday right?"
Nadine answered with a nod.
"I'll bring it to you, is there anything else you need?"
"I'll just go home, I'll wash your sheets after I take a shower."
Nadine was about to walk away but her stomach hurt so much that she almost fell if Justin didn't quickly catch her.
"Are you okay?" Justin asked. Nadine didn't understand why Justin looked so worried about her.
Nadine hasn't answered yet when Justin has picked her up and put her on the sofa.
"I'm fine, Justin. I'm used to this during my period."
"You're pale, Nadine. I don't want you to get sick."
"Hah?"
"I mean, you won't be able to carry out your duties as a maid if you're sick."
So because of that... Oh Nadine, control your mind!
"Then get me my clothes, pads, and a tummy tuck," Nadine said in a commanding tone to hide the disappointment that came from nowhere.
"What's the code?"
Nadine looked at Justin confused, "What code?"
"Your penthouse... I have to get your clothes right."
Nadine was hesitant to give her penthouse code because she couldn't trust Justin, but she had no other choice.
"1290."
Justin was stunned when Nadine mentioned his penthouse code because it was his motorcycle license plate number when he took Nadine around town when they were still in school.
"Hurry up, it's starting as a heavy rain." Nadine reminded him because Justin just kept quiet and didn't leave quickly.
"Wait..." Justin said before leaving.
"Where can I go?"
***
Justin closed the door to his room, it was his motorbike plate, Justin still remembers it very clearly because he even kept his motorbike but why does Nadine still act as if they just knew each other?
Justin's heart ached at the thought of Nadine doing this to him on purpose. What's wrong with it?
No matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't find the answer.
Justin was about to go to Nadine's place but he heard the phone ringing, he looked for where it was and finally found it on the side of the sofa.
This is Nadine's cell phone, Justin wanted to give it to Nadine but because on the screen it showed the name 'bastard' so Justin picked it up even though he was hesitant
Of course, Justin wanted to know who the 'bastard' Nadine was referring to remembering what Nadine told him when he was drunk last night.
"Nadine..." The voice sounded familiar but Justin didn't know who it belonged to.
"Nadine where are you? Please don't be like this, I will die if you keep avoiding me like this."
"Then die..." Justin said, his anger exploded, if the man was in front of him then he would completely kill him.
He acted as if Nadine had hurt him even though it was Nadine who had been suffering all this time.

Marcell dropped his phone, it wasn't Sammy's voice. Who is the man now with Nadine?
Marcell's heart shattered into pieces, he threw everything within his reach and shattered it.
"No, Nadine... You can't leave me like this."
***
Nadine looked at Justin's face that looked annoyed as he received his clothes along with pads and belly warmers.
Did I upset him? Nadine wondered in her heart. "You are mad at me?" Nadine asked who finally couldn't contain her curiosity.
"No," Justin answered briefly before finally leaving Nadine.
"If you're not angry then why is your face like that?"
Justin sighed heavily "I get annoyed when I'm hungry so hurry up and make me some breakfast." Justin said before finally leaving Nadine.
...
Justin clenched his jaw, he then grabbed his cell phone and dialed someone.
"Have you got the information?" Justin asked impatiently.
"We'll get it soon."
"That means not yet, idiot!" Justin shouted angrily, he hung up the phone.
From the way the man spoke, it was clear he was obsessed with Nadine.

Nadine has taken a shower, she has also changed her clothes and now she was getting ready to wash. Nadine already brought Justin's bed linen and dirty clothes and then took it out of the room, when he accidentally passed Justin, Nadine again felt tense because of the expression Justin was showing at this time especially when Justin just walked past her.
Nadine can only sigh, she washes and then immediately makes breakfast for Justin, "Justin's hungry face is scary." her mind.
While Nadine was cooking, her cell phone rang again. Nadine immediately turned off the stove and went to find her cellphone.
"Where do I put it?" Nadine was still looking for her cell phone which kept ringing until finally Justin came and gave it.
"How can it be with you?" Nadine asked suspiciously.
"I found it while cleaning," Justin replied, he immediately left after giving Nadine's cell phone.
"Is that why he's angry? Because he has to clean up?" Nadine guessed, but then her cell phone rang again.
'Bastard' aka Marcell contacted him, Nadine knew if she didn't answer then Marcell would keep calling her so Nadine was forced to pick up the phone from Marcell.
"Who is he?"
Nadine was confused because Marcell without further ado asked about someone who herself didn't know who Marcell was referring to.
"Who do you mean?"
"The man who picked up my phone earlier?" Marcel shouted.
Could it be Justin, Nadine doesn't know if Justin picked up the phone from Marcell because Justin didn't say anything to her.
"My lover..." Nadine replied lying.
Hearing Nadine says if he is her lover makes Justin instantly stunned. It's easy for Nadine to turn her heart around like this, the anger faded when Nadine said that he was her lover, even though Nadine might be lying but Justin felt happy.
"Nadine, how could you betray me?" Marcell was heard crying, Nadine clenched her fists and replied "I'm not betraying you, we've just been friends, half-brothers, and enemies."
"No, obviously we have a love affair!"
"What romance do you mean? I just feel like you always make things difficult for me."
"I did it so you know if you need me!"
"Why should I need you? WHY DO I NEED A MAN WHO ALWAYS HURT ME!" Nadine shouted that she couldn't stand it, Nadine was just about to turn off her phone when Justin suddenly took her cell phone.
"Stop bothering Nadine, we're getting married soon so don't bother her again because Nadine will only depend on me."
Justin immediately turned off Nadine's cell phone. Then threw it on the couch.
"Why are you still getting calls from the guy who is obsessed with you?" Justin asked angrily. Nadine didn't understand why Justin even scolded her.
"What right do you have to stop me?"
"Nadine... The more you act like this the more the guy thinks you're still depending on him."
"Then I have to depend on a stranger man like you?"
"A stranger? Nadine, how long are you going to pretend you don't know me?"
