Chapter 15 Sanitary Napkins

Nate became more attentive to her, touching her face and focusing his gaze intently on her. Kia finds it to be an unsettling experience. She shoved his hand away and pushed him away from her while screaming, "Get off of me!" Stop pretending to be nice and then taking advantage of me all of a sudden. Do not lose sight of the fact that we are still in the classroom! I'm going to ask for help!"

He cocked his head to look more intently at Kia before bending his neck forward. “Oh? You slutty little pig! I can't believe you have the audacity to threaten me!

Kia retreated a few steps before responding, "No, I don't..." I… I had to use the restroom, if you don't mind... That being the case, the sign that was posted outside didn't bother me in the least. I'm sorry to have bothered you and forced you to witness that... There is nothing in this that interests me. And I am well aware that you are Nathan Zac Ramirez, so..." Her speech became stuttering, and all she could manage to say was a string of sounds. In an effort to stop the hot tears that were streaming down her face, she squeezed her eyelids shut and tried to focus her attention elsewhere. She remained motionless there for a considerable amount of time, her chest becoming increasingly labored with each breath, and her eyes beginning to well up with tears.

"Why are you breaking down in tears? What exactly do you want me to do for you? Name it. I will fulfill all of your requests as long as you promise to keep quiet about what you witnessed today and not disclose it to anyone, not even your family members or your pet dog. That was his statement, in all seriousness. He pulls his wallet out of his pocket and makes an impression as though he is counting the money that is contained within it.

The color of Kia's exterior began to change to red. Her complexion was as ruddy as an apple, and she said, "Okay... I will tell you what it is I want. If you can get me a package of feminine hygiene products, I promise I won't tell anyone what I saw today."

Nate took a moment to reflect before continuing, "Sanitation napkins?" What exactly are you speaking about?! Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have your period today? The skirt you were wearing when you ran away a moment ago appears to have some blood stains on it."

"Really? There's something wrong with the back of my shirt? Oh, God! There isn't an extra skirt lying around here that I could use..." Kia was in such a state of frustration that all she could do was let out a long sigh.

"Don't get stressed about it. Take this into consideration for the time being." Nate loosened the zipper on his jacket before handing it over to Kia. Before he dashed out the door, he said, "Wait for me here," and then he left.

After getting into his car, he proceeded to drive all the way to the shopping center that was closest to him. Because he could see a Watson store from the entrance, he went into that store without giving it any further consideration.

"Aws! This gentleman is absolutely stunning to look at!"

"Look at him!"

"Take a look at his sartorial selections! Is that the attire that students at the University of Cavite are required to wear?!"

"He has a smouldering good look about him!"

"Girl, look! It looks like he's going to come back for a sanitary napkin. It's not possible that he doesn't have a girlfriend!"

The attention of Nates was drawn to that phrase. What girlfriend? There is only ever going to be that one girl. Who is trying to take advantage of me! I haven't been so bold as to hit on the girl in the stall just yet. And now I am in the clutches of that rat of a girl. It was as if he were saying it to himself.

"What sanitary napkin is she using? There are far too many different brands to choose from here..." The situation was complicated by Nate. He started reading the brands one by one, but he wasn't able to comprehend the distinctions between each of them. "F*ck! This is even more difficult than providing answers to one hundred mathematical questions! To heck with it, I'm going to buy everything!" He goes through all of the different brands of the sanitary napkins and grabs all 20 packs of each.

He then went to the counter and put the sanitary napkins in the appropriate place. "I'll have one of everything, please. How much?" When asked, Nate remarked.

The cashier was rendered speechless as a result of their surprise. She began looking through the sanitary napkins while she cast a glance in Nate's direction. "2500," she responded, before placing the packs into a bag and leaving the room.

Nate reached for his wallet and extracted three thousand dollars, announcing to his companions, "Here, keep the change."

Oh... well, all right...

Nate did not waste any time and began his journey by grabbing the bag and setting off. He quickly hid his appearance by covering it with a cloth and dashed to his vehicle. When he arrived at the school, the very first place he went was to the restroom, where he found Kia seated on the ground.

Nate went up to Kia and positioned the bag so that it was next to her. "Please accept this sanitary napkin," the speaker said.

Kia slowly raised her head and stared at Nate as he walked towards her "Please accept my thanks... Wait, what?! Why— why did you buy a lot?" Kia was completely taken aback when she discovered a twenty-pack of sanitary napkins.

"Because there is such a wide variety of brands and because I have no way of knowing which one you prefer, I always stock up on all of them. Don't be such an ungrateful person and just take what's been given to you. As a side note, I was wondering if you were feeling okay." Nate inquired, and at the same time, he started to become concerned about Kia.

"I'm not worried about anything because I can take care of myself. This wouldn't be the case if it weren't for the fact that I am currently experiencing my period. You have no idea how miserable I am every time my period comes around. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, here you go with this—"

"There is no requirement for that. Simply put it behind your back to protect yourself. Imagine for a moment that I am contributing to some charitable organization today. Keep it. In addition, there is no need to express gratitude to me. Even if you are in a lot of pain, it has nothing to do with me and none of my business." Nate muttered something to himself before hurriedly exiting the bathroom.

Kia

What exactly is he struggling with here? He just left? What kind of a disposition was that? A while ago, he was very considerate, but all of a sudden, he turned into a different person. It would appear as though a battle is taking place between a fallen angel and a demon inside of his head. Despite this, it appears that he is a decent human being because of the way he conducts himself. I had no idea that Nathan Zac Ramirez wasn't nearly as unfriendly as was rumored to be the case.

Yes, you are correct. First and foremost, I have to think about my uncomfortable period...

I reached into my bag for the package of sanitary napkins, and then I entered the room with the cubicle. After I had finished, I went straight outside, but before I left the building, I turned back to the restroom and said, "Thank you for assisting me, Nate..." I gave a chuckle to myself and carried on walking. After grabbing my phone, I immediately began dialing Ares's number.

[Hi, hon!] He cheerfully said. It looks like he had a good day today.

"Hi! Have you finished the work that you were doing? I am just about ready to head off to my house now..."

[You're right. I truly apologize, but would you mind holding on for a little while? I still have a meeting that I need to attend, and if I just walk out of the office without going to the meeting, my manager is going to get really angry with me.

"No! It works out just fine. On the other hand, I don't need anyone to drive me home. I'll just take the bus to work today. Put your attention solely on the task at hand and stop worrying."

I could make out the sound of him sighing and saying, "I'm so sorry, hon. I'll buy you something nice when you get off work, all right?]

"Okay!"

Kia exited the building without realizing that Vera Eunice Ventura was following her covertly from a distance, saying to herself, "Hmm... Interesting..." as Kia walked away.
