Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 11

Mandy stayed where she was. It was too late to exit as she might be suspected of eavesdropping. She stared at the dangerous man and could tell that he wasn't a simple man. The voice was cold and surprisingly familiar to her, but she just couldn't point exactly to whom it belonged.

'But who was the man they were talking about killing?' she wondered. 'Luke Shi?' She didn't know the man, but the name sounded familiar to her. Her mind boggled. While trying hard to sort through her memory for a clue who he was, she was awestruck when she heard the deep male voice again. The voice was pleasant to the ear, sounding like a cello. Good as it was, the coldness could make people shiver in fright.

"Who's that?" he asked as if telling her she should show herself. The cold voice was emotionless like interrogating an enemy. Despite the hot summer air, Mandy shivered in extreme cold. Her limbs were frozen, and her blood flustered all over her body. His voice effortlessly crippled her.

Mandy slowly raised her head but could only see his back.

The man turned around and, with the faint light from the high glass windows, she saw his face. When their gaze met, Mandy's eyes opened wide in surprise and recognition. The man's good-looking dark eyes were full of coldness, penetrating her. She was oddly shaking in fear. His expression warned her of impending danger.

'It is Nathan Jin!' She swallowed in shock. Mandy wished for a magical exit where she could quickly run away.

"I swear, I didn't hear anything," she finally said after releasing deep breaths to calm herself.

"Ha-ha-ha! Yeah, right!" The man sarcastically grinned. His eyes narrowed and radiated a fierce, uncompromising power.

When he saw her pale and perturbed face, the smile in his eyes deepened. It was obvious that Mandy was scared and was hiding something. He moved his head at a slight angle and raised his eyebrow with his eyes still glued on her.

'If you didn't hear anything, how did you know that we were talking? Silly woman!' Nathan thought to himself.

He stepped forward towards her. Looking deeply into her eyes, he could feel her fear from her beautiful face.

Mandy shivered down her spine. The man was born with an innately powerful, cold, and oppressive aura radiating from his body. She needed to gather all her strength to talk to him.
