How should I act?
What should I say when I greet him?
Is my outfit too sexy? Would he think I am slutty?
Nancy was still overthinking everything when Mance’s Bentley approached her.
His eyes lit up, and his heart pounded the second he saw Nancy.
Is that an angel?
No, this lady is even more angelic than an actual one!
Mance had been with countless women during his time in the army.
However, those were all trained and muscular. They were beautiful, but they were also tough and lacked femininity.
The woman in front of him was way more beautiful and sexier than his exes.
However, the most important point was that the woman was extremely feminine and exuded a sexy aura.
That was what Mance loved.
He fell in love at first sight and decided that he must have her, regardless of the consequences.
He parked the car beside Nancy and greeted politely like a gentleman, “Hey there. Did your car break down? Do you need a lift?”
Nancy was even more surprised then.
He had taken the initiative and started the conversation. It was even more probable that he was her hero!
Nancy took a deep breath to adjust her emotions before she asked, “Excuse me, but are you the Hero? The man who has been helping me from the shadows?”
Hero?
Mance was confused.
However, he had been in the army for twenty years, and that trained him to be quick in adapting to sudden changes.
He nodded immediately. “I didn’t think you’d figure it out so easily. Yes, I am him.”
After confirming the man’s “true” identity, Nancy became so excited that she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Her face lit up with anticipation as she asked, “Thank you for all the times you lent me a helping hand, Hero. You really helped to solve a lot of huge issues. I-I don’t know how to repay you. Can I buy you dinner to thank you for all your help?”
Surprisingly, Mance rejected that offer instantly. “Sorry, but that won’t be possible.”
Nancy felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on her, and she was cold from head to toe. She even felt hopeless then.
She had been rejected, and it looked like she would never love again.
Mance then took a turn and added, “I am a man. How can I let a woman buy me dinner? That would hurt my pride. My beautiful lady, will you do me the honor and let me buy you dinner?”
Nancy was at a loss by the sudden turn of events.
She was so excited her heart skipped a beat, and she almost passed out.
“Sure, great!” Nancy said immediately because she was worried that Mance would change his mind.
He grinned. “I’m guessing your car broke down. Come on, I’ll give you a lift and have someone tow your car back for you.”
“Thank you,” said Nancy before she hopped into Mance’s car without a second thought.
Her car didn’t actually break down, but she would not let up the opportunity to spend some quality time with her hero.
Nancy couldn’t speak. She was dazed, still in a state of excitement.
Mance didn’t speak either. Instead, he greedily enjoyed the feminine scent exuded by Nancy.
None of the women he had been with in the past had exuded a scent like that.
His phone suddenly rang.
He checked the screen and saw that it was from John, the person who was supposed to meet up with him in Rivermouth.
Mance answered.
“Mance, where are you right now? I’ll send my men to drive you over,” said John politely.
“There’s no need for that. I met a friend and will eat out tonight. I’ll meet up with you after dinner.”
“Friend?” repeated John in confusion.
