"Huh?" Nathan sneered with irritation. "I haven't even given you a reply?" "Mandy, are you out of your mind? Open the WeChat and check my messages."
Nathan was angry. He had sent a dozen WeChat messages to her, urging her to go home early for dinner, but she hadn't replied to any of them.
Mandy was lost. She quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag and turned on the Internet. She found that Nathan had indeed sent her many replies.
Her hand holding the mobile phone was slightly shaking. She stood there in embarrassment and didn't know what to do. She just knew that she had made Nathan angry again.
Mandy lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake. She clenched her fists nervously and didn't dare to look up at Nathan.
"Explain to me why you came back so late." Nathan stretched his legs and put an icy look on his face.
"Like what I said on WeChat, I was late due to my colleague's birthday," Mandy answered in a low voice. There was fear in her voice because she was afraid to get Nathan mad again.
"Colleague?" He was skeptical. "Male or female? How many people went there?" he probed. Nathan asked the series of questions like a case being interrogated.
She didn't expect that he would be so narrow-minded and ask such questions. 'I'm not even dating him. Why should I explain myself?' Mandy thought.
Despite her hesitation, Mandy still confidently explained, "He is a resident doctor of our department. All members of our department were there." To avoid Nathan's suspicion, Mandy added, "Seventeen people went to the party."
"Quit your job at the hospital," Nathan said slowly. He was apparently not happy of her answer, and his face was hard to ignore.
"Why?" Mandy asked angrily. She thought, 'I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I have to quit my job? What should I do after I resign?' Now, her mind was full of questions. 'How could I earn money without a job?'
"I don't like drunk women," Nathan said coldly and stood up. The light fell on the side of his face, and his eyes were indescribable.
"I promise I won't drink anymore. But for you to ask me to quit my job? That's too much!" Mandy riled while looking at him with her big eyes.
"Too much?" Nathan asked. "Mandy, who on earth went too far? I've been waiting for you since you got off from work, I haven't even had dinner yet. Who do you think is more unreasonable?" Nathan retaliated with fury. He was like a beast, out of control, and lashing out at Mandy.
'He hasn't had dinner yet?' Mandy was stunned and confused. He had waited for her to have dinner!
"Why are you so silly? Why did you not have dinner?" Mandy asked in a low voice and quietly walked to Nathan.
The unusual stench of alcohol from her made him uncomfortable. He frowned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly became fierce. He didn't answer her, but continued to say, "Mandy, do you remember the last time you went to a bar? You met a hooligan, and someone put drugs in your wine."
Panic flooded Mandy's eyes. She stared at Nathan with confusion.
Annoyed by the way she acted, he said, with his eyes dark, "Don't give me that look. It wasn't me. I didn't ask someone to do that. But you know what? You were so sexy and hot that night."
