Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Mandy actually planned to stay in their house for the time being because her landlord had decided to sell her old apartment.

Hearing that, Essie's head was already hurting. If she knew her friend any better, her real purpose was to get close to Zac.

However, an icy guy like him wasn't planning on letting her stay over. The moment he heard of the news, his face darkened completely. In fact, what he wanted to do was walk over there and give her a piece of his mind.

Seeing that he was about to drive the woman away, Essie pulled him into the room in a hurry.

"Mandy will be moving out as soon as she finds a house. Just bear with her for a couple of days please," she begged, clasping her hands together.

"No," Zac said coldly. It was obvious that he wasn't there to negotiate with her.

Essie gritted her teeth. She had wanted to try and persuade him nicely, but seeing as he wasn't responding to that, she went for another route. "Look, I'm the one who rented the apartment. Hell, I'm the one paying for it too, so Mandy will live with me if I say so. If you're not happy, then you can find another apartment to live in for the next few days. You can come back when she leaves."

"And why would I come back?" He sneered. "You're the one who will lose the bet, not me. In
