AUTHOR POV
"I think it's too much, we're just three. After all, you are the same Ray will rarely be at home, right? So, we better take enough." Nadine was a little gawking at Adrian who played the origin of comot food ingredients in large quantities.
"Don't protest, take a lot of supplies. Let's not even bother to go out again, everything is available at home. Moreover, you will live there in an uncertain time until when."
The house they will live in now accessibility is a little difficult and far if you want to go anywhere. Adrian thought, this is an effective way to stockpile food supplies.
Nadine's advice was not heeded at all. Adrian even told Nadine to add her groceries. Various processed frozen food, canned food, instant fast food, and some packaged drinks were wiped clean by Adrian just from the display and immediately placed in a trolley.
"Your money is a lot too.can you shop this much! Moreover, everything sold in this supermarket is expensive."
The price tag on the shelf did not escape Nadine's sight. Her female soul thrashed to see the prices of foodstuffs that could be said to be quite reached into the bag, especially when there was no discount. And recklessly Adrian play take-up without looking at the price first.
Degh..
Adrian stopped his footsteps. For the umpteenth time he cheated again. Naturally, if Nadine talks like that, people who used to shop in this supermarket are indeed from the upper middle class.
Mama Diana and her domestic assistant also if shopping for daily needs must be here. Nadine was initially surprised when Adrian took her shopping at this place, but she only dared to comment now.
His habit of going shopping at a luxury supermarket makes Adrian forget. He should take Nadine to go shopping to the supermarket if it is pocket-friendly. If the traditional market Adrian will reject it raw. The reason is because he is unusual.
This is the second time Adrian shopping with Nadine. The two had shopped together while in Jogja, and it was in the market. After returning from there Adrian immediately felt dizzy to see the crowd of the market.
"I just happened to get a bonus from the boss, so we can shop here."
"Oh that's so good, your boss. If I may know, what exactly are you and Ray doing? Is it some kind of bodyguard or an important person's accomplice?"
Hearing that, Adrian who was walking five steps in front of Nadine immediately turned his head quickly. His gaze turned sharp. It's nice to say he's an assistant or a bodyguard! Adrian was not accepted. If Ray is indeed his profession as an assistant as well as an accomplice. Adrian is actually a successful CEO and businessman.
This time Adrian should be able to lower his ego. For the sake of smoothness over all his plans, he must be willing to disguise himself until he must be put on as a bodyguard. As much as possible Adrian must refrain from revealing his identity to Nadine even though in his heart he is upset.
"Do I look like a bodyguard?" ketus Adrian's.
It's not Nadine's fault either. Because in the last few days Adrian looks like an ordinary person. He deliberately took off his 2 piece suit and 3 piece suit which he used to wear everyday. Now it was just a leather jacket and a slim fit shirt that stuck to his body.
"From his stature it looks so. Your body is tall and strong like this. You are also martial arts. From yesterday, you and Ray always carry the name of your boss in every conversation. That's why I have an assumption you're working with important people..."
Nadine became misbehaved by herself seeing the cold attitude that Adrian showed. Did he speak wrong..?
"It's up to you to consider what my job is like. If my profession seems like it in your eyes, then think of it like that!!" Adrian turned his face again and walked back with a straight look down the supermarket aisles.
The answer sounded ambiguous in Nadine's ears, because Adrian did not deny or confirm the question. Or maybe Adrian feels uncomfortable because his profession is alluded to?
Nadine had heard that in certain people usually do not like to be asked questions about work or age. Because it is a privacy thing.
But really, Nadine didn't mean anything. He just asked to get rid of his curiosity. Moreover, Nadine also did not look down on Adrian's work if it is true he is a bodyguard.
Any work is fine, as long as it is clear and the money made is purely not the result of robbery or deceit.
"Do you like pasta? Can I take this one?" Nadine shows a box of instant pasta to Adrian.
"It's not important what I like. If you want to take it!"
Shortly after, Adrian's phone ringing in his pocket rang. Seeing the caller ID on his phone screen made Adrian frown. "I'll pick up the phone first."
Nadine nodded in understanding as it seemed like the phone call was from an important person. "If so I go to the fruit and vegetable section, right?" nadine meant not to waste time.
"Okay, I'll follow you there later" said Adrian. Eventually the two split up temporarily.
***
Nadine was looking at the vegetables on display in the chiller. He will buy vegetables that can be processed into a dish. During her stay with Adrian and Ray later, Nadine is determined to cook her own meals for all three. Instead of buying food outside, eat at home. More efficient and more hygienic.
"Sister Nadine...?"
When Nadine was busy choosing vegetables, suddenly there was someone who called her name. Directed from the right, Nadine immediately turned her head.
"It's Nadine's sister, right?" the girl said as she approached.
Nadine who was a little forgetful remembered trying to refresh her memory. "A..the.na, right?" Nadine stammered as she was a bit unsure.
"Yes.kak it's me Athena, remember? The older brother who was then nolongin me and my sister on the beach.." Nadine's guess is right.
"Ahhh.yeah. Sorry was a bit forgetful remember the fear of mispronouncing the name.but Brother still remember how." Both of them splashed for a moment to melt the atmosphere. "How are you now, your sister Fiona how is she?" nadine asked with a gentle smile.
"I'm good, too, Fiona. Just now his son is again in college, if I because there is no matkul again so now nemenin Mama shopping."
"Ohh.again same Aunt Diana also yes.."
"Heem's the same sister Mama, and there's also ART, but they're still in aisle 4. I'm also shopping here, alone?"
"No, there's a big brother meeting, but the guy picked up the phone there. I'm staying while this is about, want to look at vegetables.hehe.."
"Hmmm, by the way I didn't know I could see my sister again. His brother lives here apparently, one city with me and family. You see yesterday we did not take time to chat a lot well.bingung ngerasain sick hahahahahah..." Athena chuckles.
"Actually my sister also just moved to this city, only today even. That's why look, shopping for kitchen ingredients for stock.."
"Woww, what a coincidence well.but I'm seneng deh brother now here. We can meet often. Where does her brother live?"
Nadine was stunned for a moment by Athena's question. Nadine believes Adrian won't allow her to indulge in privacy with strangers, including spreading Athena's home address.
"There will be. later if you want to meet again, Brother who is your samperin."
"Wahh can, my family must be very fond. Can I give you my phone number? Let's make our communication easy."
"Here I can."
Athena pulled out the phone in her bag and handed it to Nadine. Athena means, let Nadine herself type and enter the number into her contact.
Although initially hesitant, Nadine agrees to Athena's request for her number. For her Athena was a good girl and couldn't possibly have messed around.
There was no harm in him having a new connection in this city. Nadine is a newcomer who knows no one.
