Meeting You Was Fate

In terms of playing mind games, Mandy was still wet behind the ears. She was totally naive and inexperienced.

Her heart racing, Mandy slowly lowered her head. She was afraid to look at Nathan.

She felt so embarrassed that he had seen through her mind. She was on pins and needles as she mused, 'Was he a mind reader?'

After a long silence, she heard Nathan speak with a straight face. "Tell me the time and location."

"Starbucks, Crystal Street, Eaton Square. I originally planned to go there after work tomorrow night." In one breath, Mandy had calmly told him the truth, silently thanking herself that she had managed to calm her nerves down. Her voice didn't crack nor show a sign of nervousness.

"Whew! Starbucks! It's full of fun!" Nathan said aloud as he cast a sideways glance at Mandy. He noticed the guilty look on her face as he scrutinized her.

Mandy remained silent. She was a proud woman, and she never did like swallowing her pride before. But now, for the sake of her family, she stooped so low and became Nathan's mistress. 'For her, going through these 30 days would be as easy as ABC, ' she had initially thought. But now, she felt like she had miscalculated everything.

"Mandy, you should behave yourself! As my woman, you should know what you should do and shouldn't do, understand?" Nathan reprimanded. He outwardly looked calm, but she could discern a hint of warning in his cold cheek.

Being such a calm and composed man, Nathan was good at putting a person to death by his mere silence. Hearing the way Nathan spoke, Mandy trembled slightly. Though the room's temperature was not low, she felt a chill ran down her spine with what Nathan had said.

"I know," Mandy replied obediently as her soft red lips moved slightly. She wished she could take his words with a grain of salt, but she wouldn't dare.

She had gotten herself into quite a predicament. She had promised Madeline that she would go on with the blind date, but now she was having a change of heart. At the thought of Madeline's nagging, Mandy furrowed her brows deeply.
