"Do I know you?"
The man did not answer but he then took off his hat and showed his face clearly.
Nadine was silent for a while. OK, Nadine must admit that the man was wild, very handsome, but his face looks familiar until finally, she looks at a piece of photo in her bag and juxtaposed it with the face of the tall man in front of her.
"Justin Wang?"
The man smiled faintly and stepped closer but Nadine immediately held it by stretching out her hand to prevent the man from moving even closer.
Nadine chuckled, her face rapidly turning irritated.
"You're not that handsome, I was just thinking about other people and not you." Nadine said. An arrogant man would be even more arrogant if he was praised. Nadine cursed herself for being charmed by him a few seconds ago.
The smile on Justin's face disappeared, he then chose to step past Nadine.
Damn it, Nadine muttered in her heart. The man was more handsome in person, but Nadine didn't like him because of his arrogance.
And unfortunately again, Nadine had to get a cooperation contract with him. Oh God, there is no one else on this world besides him who should be the first actor after the apocalypse created by that damn Marcell who's got her company almost collapsing right now?
The Universe must be kidding me right now ...
By forgetting her pride, Nadine finally stepped closer to Justin who was loading the manuscripts into the bag he was carrying.
"What do you want? We don't know each other so it's best not to get too close."
Oh, he's incredibly proud, but his tone sounds sexy, oh my dirty mind ...
"Don't know then don't love, right?" Nadine tries to break the ice so that it is easier to approach Justin.
Justin slowly turned his head, he returned to Nadine and made Nadine move back because his gaze was able to intimidate her.
"How can a woman immediately talk about her feelings to a man she doesn't know? Are you fell in love with me at first sight?"
Wait a minute, this isn't right.
Nadine shouldn't act like a teenage girl who was easily pressured by a handsome guy who teases her, right?
Even though her body had hit the wall, Nadine slowly lifted her face and looked at Justin without fear.
"Falling in love is never easy. You watch too many cheap romantic stories. Don't misunderstand what I said earlier, I'm not in love with you." Nadine explained, she touched Justin's chest with her finger and pushed him a little to keep him away.
"So what do you want? Seeking my attention?" Justin asked, this time his hands supported his body against the wall right next to Nadine's head.
Is he teasing me right now?
"Are you or am I looking for attention?" Nadine's smile changes everything. She turned the situation around with ease and impressed Justin to tease her.
Justin was silent again, but his eyes could not turn away from Nadine's face.
"Hey, blink or you'll fall in love with me."
Finally, Justin walked away, he just left Nadine.
Wait, this shouldn't be like this, right? Oh, Nadine where did your brain go? That should have been a good chance to land a contract with Justin when the guy looked smitten by her beauty. But she just took that opportunity.
Nadine immediately ran after Justin's steps who were about to enter his car. Nadine quickly stopped him, she stood right in front of Justin's car door so that Justin could not enter.
"I'm just kidding, don't be angry."
Justin dropped his bag and a second later pulled Nadine into his arms.
"Your joke makes my heart hurt. Please don't leave me again."
What's this now? Why is this man taking chances in such a narrow way?
Nadine immediately pushed Justin and let go of his embrace.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you hugging me?"
"Ok, our introductions are not fun, I regret it. But that doesn't mean you can just hug me! And what you said is ridiculous, we didn't know each other before so don't say as if we are ex-lovers."
"Sorry, I lost control. I ..."
"Ok forget it ... Let's just say we break even."
Nadine didn't want her anger to affect her. She immediately took out her business card from her bag and gave it to Justin.
"I'm Nadine, CEO of Baby Star entertainment. I want to offer you an exclusive contract."
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Justin immediately pushed Nadine's body away from his car and then left Nadine who could not believe that she was just ignored so easily after that man took the opportunity to hug her before.
"Fuck you BASTARD !!" Shouted Nadine pissed off.
***
Justin still saw Nadine's shadow fade away as the car he was driving farther away.
Nadine doesn't recognize him or is she just pretending? Justin was so annoyed that he pulled a key chain with a photo of him and a woman in a school uniform who was none other than Nadine.
Noting that face that still looked innocent and remembering how they were separated.
"I'm moving out, my mom remarried so we can just end this relationship because I also don't love you anymore."
He was already dumped and he still hopes that she will come to him to come back to him. So stupid ...
Justin tossed the keychain into the backseat until it fell under the seat. Thirteen years have passed, maybe it's time for him to forget about Nadine.
Justin was about to return to focus on driving when a car suddenly intercepted him and almost a collision occurred, but Justin quickly hit the brakes.
Justin's body jolted, he was silent for a few moments and saw the red car that was now in front of his car and the woman was in it. Nadine saw him defiant as if she wasn't afraid Justin might be late and put them in danger.
Justin then got out of his car, luckily they were on a road so quiet that no one would see them. He walked over to Nadine's car and Nadine also got out of the car toward Justin.
"What do you want?" Justin asked angrily.
"It's easy, join my company ..."
"I this is your way, it will never happen."
"Then I will report you to the police because you have harassed me earlier."
Justin really could not understand what Nadine said. The shy woman he knew had turned into a very different woman.
"I didn't do anything to you."
"Of course you did, you hugged me without my permission. It is a form of sexual harassment, right?"
You met the wrong person honey ... I will never lose.
Nadine smiled meaningfully and she can be sure that she will get an exclusive contract with the arrogant and handsome man who was currently standing looking at her with a scary gaze, but Nadine will never be afraid.
