"This room will be yours. Even though we're both married now, we won't sleep in the same room. I respect your privacy by giving you my own space. And I hope you do the same in return."
Adrian shows Nadine a room that will be occupied during her stay in this magnificent mansion like a palace. The selected room is full white with a touch of modern style. The size is 2 times larger than Nadine's room in the previous house. Equipped with an indoor bathroom as well.
"Here is the connecting door, access to my room."
The door that Nadine had thought would direct her to the bathroom inside, turned out to be a connecting door.
"For what? Aren't you the one who said that we both have to keep each other private? If there is a connecting door.later activities with each other will be heard!!"
"People out there think we're really married, as do my family and staff. Just in case my family comes and goes into this area unattended. You can move to my room through this door. So they don't suspect our rooms are separate! Each of our rooms is soundproof, so it's safe."
What Adrian said made sense.
"After meeting Papa and Mama, I'm sure they'll send spies to watch our movements. Although my employees in this house are loyal and may not have a bucket mouth, still.watch out is necessary."
"How sure are you, if the employees in this house won't find out the truth and report to Mama and Papa about our relationship?" ask Nadine.
After receiving treason many times, Nadine began to think that everyone was hard to believe. Once I get an offer of money, then people will be tempted quickly.
It does not rule out the possibility that Adrian's parents will bribe employees here to reveal the facts of their actual marriage relationship, if they are found out.
"My staff and employees only know what I choose to tell them. Loyalty is a value I value above intelligence. If I don't recruit the right people to work with me, then I won't be able to succeed like this!" adrian timpal.
"There are only certain employees who can enter this floor area. The most frequent ones are Ray and Aunt Magda. In this house, only the two of them know the truth of our status" he continued, inserting his hands into the front pockets of his pants.
"Are you not afraid they will.."
"Aunt Magda's been working with me since I was 10. For Ray, he's reliable. Those two are the people I trust the most than all the staff here. So stop worrying about them!" Adrian cut off the words of Nadine who still put anxiety.
"Okay.." Nadine nodded in understanding. "Oh yeah..Adrian..about what my stuff is? Now I have no change of clothes. After escaping, we didn't bring anything!" ask Nadine.
"I told people to pick up your things at home a few hours ago. It might be here soon" he replied.
"If you feel uncomfortable and want to shower immediately please, in the bathroom there is already a complete and new toiletries. For a change of clothes while I'm there, Aunt Magda will drive her here."
Nadine took her breath. "All right, thank you."
Chequek..
His body felt sticky and full of sweat, after a day he and Nadine ran from the pursuit of intruders. Not to mention his handbooks were also slightly bruised due to his fights with the intruders earlier. For Adrian it does not hurt, it just needs to be cleaned.
Before leaving Nadine's room, Adrian stopped his steps at the door and turned to Nadine.
"Dining starts at half-time at 7. I want at that hour you have to be ready and go straight down to the table then," he said.
And the door was closed.
Getting an ultimatum from Adrian, means Nadine only has about half an hour left to get ready.
Nadine snorted in annoyance because the time left was too little. He likes to stay in the bathroom. But in order to avoid Adrian's tantrums, he complies this time.

GECK..TOKKS..TOKKS
"Yes enter.the door is not locked.." said Nadine from the bathroom. He was washing his hands.
"Excuse me Madam, good night.I'm sorry to interrupt the timing. I just want to deliver this change of clothes, order from Mr. Adrian."
A slim fit sleeveless dress with light blue length below the knee was given to Nadine, complete with other related needs about women.
"Oh yes, thank you.you must be Aunt Magda right?"
"Yes Madam, my name is Aunt Magda.the head of the servant who is in this house."
"Ahh.iya Adrian has told me a little about it. And please don't call me Madam, I'm younger than Aunt Magda!" Nadine laughed.
"I'm sorry Madam, not that I refuse, but that's the rule. The lady is now married and becomes his wife. It would sound strange to call him not a pair..Ladies and gentlemen." replied Aunt Magda.
"Yes, it's nothing. But I beg you Bi, if the same I do not be too formal and rigid. Take it easy."
Aunt Magda smiled. "Good Mistress. Then excuse me first."
"Thank you again, Bi."
"Together Madam."
Nadine immediately went back to the bathroom to clean her body.
