Justin was still staring at the business card Nadine left with her contract.
There was no way he could mistake a woman for whom he had never been able to forget in his entire life. The woman who yelled fiercely at him this morning was his ex-girlfriend, could it be that Nadine's attitude changed drastically because Nadine did not have the slightest feeling for him.
Justin once again took a deep breath, Should he give up now and leave his feelings for Nadine and start a new life or should he once again try to make Nadine love him again.
"I miss you so much Nadine, even when you pretend to forget me though ... I still miss you."
Justin wiped his tears quickly. He was getting emotional now and it all happened because of Nadine.
"My solitude has been happening because I don't want anyone to come into my life. I just wanted to wait for you to come back to me and finally, today came, the day you came to me but why do you feel so hard for me to reach, Nadine?"
Justin left his notebook after tucking Nadine's business card in it then chose to step out of his room to breathe the night air from the balcony of his apartment.

"Why is it so hard for you to accept my feelings before I even wronged you."
Nadine's tears returned, she remembered how Marcell cried in the corner of her office with his head covered in blood as a result of hitting Marcell's head with a flower vase.
She knew that Marcell was in great pain, not only physically but also in his heart. Nadine realizes that she has hurt Marcell a lot but no matter how hard she tries to accept Marcell's feelings, her heart always felt full as if there was no place anymore as if her heart had been filled by someone else and Nadine wasn't willing to share it even though Nadine does not know who her heart means.
Nadine looked away when she heard a notification sound from her cracked cellphone. Marcell sent him a message. "I'm sorry, I hurt you once again."
Nadine took a deep breath and then replied to Marcell's message. "I am used to. Treat your wounds because I don't want you to die so easily."
Marcell smiled and then he cried again in front of Nadine's house. Marcell doesn't know if Nadine was not there, he doesn't intend to bother Nadine again. Marcell just wanted to be there, feel close to Nadine, ignore all the pain he felt even the blood on his head had dried.
"I'm sorry Nadine ... I'm sorry ... I never wanted to get used to hurt you. Please forgive my selfishness."
...
There was no reply from Marcell's message, but Nadine hopes that Marcell has treated the wound.
As much as she hated Marcell but Nadine never wanted Marcell to get hurt. If only Marcell had never fallen in love with her then maybe they would have become cherished brothers and sisters.
Nadine then chose to sit on the balcony of her penthouse, saw the night atmosphere from the top of the building because in her previous house Nadine had never seen a scene like this where skyscrapers were glowing with the lights on and the view of the road that looks like it was filled with cars passing by.
But her fascination with the night view immediately faded when she saw the Billboard board that put Justin's face so clearly.
"I feel like throwing up if I have to look at that proud man's face every day. Isn't there another actor so that man must be there?" Nadine said, she vented her frustration on the Billboard.
"It's because I am a famous actor and very successful."
Nadine's body froze when she heard someone comment on her after she grumbled for no reason.
Slowly Nadine turned and Justin was standing looking at her, folded his arms across his chest.
"If you don't like me why do you insist on making me an actor under your company?" Justin asked again, he stepped so that the distance between them was not too far.
Shit! I forgot that I was living next to this arrogant man now. Now there's nothing I can do but pretend to be nice. Oh just haven't started yet I'm fed up!
Nadine showed her neat rows of teeth as she smiled at Justin and walked over to the guardrail.
"What are you talking about? I'm talking about the scenery here that looks bad [yes of course because there is a photo of you there], I'm not talking about you. How could I reproach my very valuable aspiring actor." Nadine explained, fortunately, she was used to lying and Nadine hopes that Justin has bad hearing.
"Come on Nadine, I'm not at all deaf."
"Maybe you misunderstood what I said, you know I'm not from here so my accent is a little different."
"You speak very well and fluent."
Oh, double shit! Looks like I have to prepare for rejection once again.
"What are you doing here?"
Eh, he didn't bring it up again? Should I say hooray now? Yes... yes... yes...
"Of course because you live here so to get along we have to be in the same environment right?"
"You want to tease me?" Justin secretly hid his happiness.
"What a haphazard! I'm still normal you know!" Nadine shouted suddenly which confused Justin. "Is liking me abnormal? I am a man! 100% PURE MALE!"
Justin annoyed Nadine's response. Did breaking up with him make Nadine abnormal?
"Why are you shouting at me? I just don't like you, that's all." Nadine replied, who didn't feel wrong to say before.
"So disliking me is normal while liking me is abnormal?"
Nadine replied with an innocent nod.
Justin gritted his teeth, he was so upset now that he immediately looked away. "Then don't expect me to become an actor in your company!" Justin said before walking into his apartment.
"Hey! Be professional, doesn't have to do with feelings and work! Mr. Wang ... Mr. Wang let's talk again, I'll be nice to you this time!" Nadine shouted hoping that Justin would hear her and want to talk to her again but Justin did not come back out.
"Never mind ... At least I have lived close to him, never mind if he's angry tonight." Nadine said before stepping into her apartment.
Justin peeked from behind his balcony door and made sure that Nadine had left then he let go of his smile that had been choked up.
The small argument with Nadine made him feel the sparks in his chest.
"Good night Nadine ..." Justin muttered softly. He then closed the door again and finally, he can sleep soundly tonight, and for the first time, Justin believes that destiny exists because fate seems to bring Nadine back to him again.
While Nadine doesn't understand, she was annoyed at Justin and his every act of arrogance but Nadine, but considering how Justin desperately said he was 100% pure male made Nadine unable to hold back her laughter.
"He must have been single all this time. What a pity. Should I find him a lover when he becomes my actor?" Murmured Nadine talking to herself while laughing as she slammed her body on the bed.
"It seems I will feel at home living here."
