"Hop in the car," Nathan ordered seriously.
Mandy was obviously uncooperative. She stood there stiffly.
"Lady, do you know the consequences of playing with fire?" Nathan snickered. His eyes were sparkling with passion and challenge.
"Well, I am kind of a fire extinguisher!" Mandy unyieldingly retorted.
"Yes, I know. I have experienced it. You are really like a fire extinguisher!" Nathan said sarcastically.
Mandy was so embarrassed. She wished the ground would open and eat her. Mandy rolled her eyes, shook her head, and smiled ruefully at Nathan. She regretted saying those words. At that moment, Mandy felt that she was completely defeated. She had no choice but to get inside the car.
"Where do you live?" Nathan asked as he quickly fastened the seat belt.
"And why should I tell you?" Mandy replied stubbornly. She was determined to keep the friction between them with her last remaining ounce of pride. Obviously, she did not learn from her recent painful lesson.
"Okay. Let's go to my home," he countered with emphasis on his property. Without further ado, Nathan stepped on the gas and drove on.
"Hey, wait. Wait!" Mandy shouted with frustration, trying to stop him. Mandy pouted, thinking that Nathan was so ruthless and would never accept defeat.
