Justin took the tabloids calmly but at the first look his eyes shook violently as he quickly turned the pages. Everything entered his eyes but he still couldn't register it. His first impression was,
' This isn't true! It was all photoshopped or maybe the person in the photo wasn't Nina but a look alike.'
He was in denial but he knew the person in the photo was really his Nina, her smile, the genuine happiness on her face, her figure, even the mole below her eyes. He was all too familiar with them.
It was true. The photos were true.
He slumped on his chair, his heart in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
'Was this how Nina felt when she found out?'
Larry could not continue to look at his boss who was collapsing inwards. He knew just how much he loved Nina. The more the love he felt for her that was probably the more pain the pain he was feeling right now.
He actually somewhat hated Nina now. His boss loved her and even though he missed her like crazy, he buried himself in work since yesterday to numb himself. Devising plans to deal with Tyson has drained him alot and there was also that green tea b*tch.
It had only been a day but he felt like his boss already aged ten years. He felt he needed to comfort his boss.
" Boss, it might actually not be what it seems. Maybe they have a siblings relationship." He knew it was cold comfort but it was better than none.
Justin regained his bearings and grabbed his windbreaker rushing out of the office. He practically ran to the garage, got on his car and drove past the speed limit towards Nina's house.

"You sure he's going to come?" Nina asked nervously, looking eagerly at the door.
Selena raised her eyebrows,
"If he doesn't come considering how blown out of proportion the news was... Then I can only tell you... You have wasted your entire youth on a scumbag"
Nina lowered her head her long, lustrous hair covering up whatever expression was on her face and answered non-committally,
"Um"
Selena sighed exasperatedly when she saw her action. She still couldn't bear to see her friend sad.
" He will come. I know it."
A car horn sounded from outside as soon as she was done speaking.
Nina ran excitedly to the window and peeked out,
"He is here. He really is here." She was obviously in a good mood.
Selena sighed inwardly thinking to herself,
'We women are all fools in love. Even when we are continuously hurt by the men we love we still pine for them.'
A knock came from the door.
Nina mouthed, "Open it"
Selena came to whisper in her ears, "Let him wait and panick a little more"
Continuous knocking came from the door and after a few minutes, the door still showed no signs of opening. This made Justin panicked, every lesson he learned in etiquette class thrown out the window. He started shouting,
"Nina, I know you are inside. Open the door I need to talk to you. Baby, I am sorry, please open the door, okay" His shouts slowly turning into pleads at the end. No one would ever believe that this business mogul who was known for being arrogant and prideful will dispose of his pride just to beg his lover.
It seems the people inside were finally satisfied with torturing him as the door finally opened.
