"What are you thinking about out here alone?" a cold voice said from behind while Mandy was indulging in her moment spent alone in contemplation.
She was at a corner with her hands on the rails staring blankly at the night sky. Mandy slowly turned around and curled her arms in front of her.
'Nathan Jin?!' she thought in surprise upon seeing him standing behind her. 'Why did he follow me?' she asked in her head while releasing a deep sigh.
"I needed some fresh air," Mandy said without looking at him. She slightly twisted her head, staring at the view of the city. She wasn't aware that Nathan was observing her every move.
Nathan pulled his face and said, "Good excuse!" His dark eyes were stern, and she could sense danger from his looks.
"Mr. Jin, I'm leaving," Mandy said shakily.
Nathan noticed her strange reaction. 'She's making excuses, ' he thought. There was pressure, and he didn't know where it was coming from. He closed the distance between them with quick strides.
Mandy froze where she stood until Nathan reached her, and their faces were only an inch away from each other.
"You want to leave?" he asked skittishly. There was eagerness in his eyes. His manly deep voice reverberated in the cold dark night. Nathan moved a bit, and before she knew it, Mandy was firmly imprisoned in his arms, and his warm breath fell onto her face. Mandy felt burned by their closeness.
"What the hell do you want?" Mandy asked in surprise. She struggled to get away from him.
Mandy wondered, 'I have done nothing to wrong him. Why is he doing this to me?'
