Nathan didn't answer Mandy's question further. Instead, he raised his hands and winked at her as if he was sharing his happiness with her.
Mandy had expected Nathan's answer to be like that. Hence, she was not disappointed this time.
"I have hired a maid for you. She'll start coming from tomorrow," Nathan said as he lifted a piece of tissue and wiped his mouth. His beautiful lips moved as the tissue swept over them gently.
"A maid for me? Why? I can take care of myself!" Mandy opined loudly, raising her brows as she pointed at herself with her finger in surprise. She didn't know why Nathan had suddenly hired a maid for her.
"I'm going on a business trip to Australia. It will take about a week until I come back," Nathan informed in a casual tone.
'Oh! So that's the reason!' Mandy thought in her mind. It was not until then that Mandy came to realize that Nathan just wanted to hire a maid to monitor her. She smiled and said, "I don't need a maid. I can take care of myself,"
However, it was good news for Mandy that Nathan was going on a business trip. Mandy could not restrain her heart's delight to hear that. She thought that since he was going on a business trip for one week, then there would be only three weeks left after he came back. Ha-ha! That was great!
Nathan had been observing the sudden play of joy on the expression on Mandy's face. All of a sudden, Nathan loosened up and leaned against the backrest of the chair. He stretched out his left hand with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "Come here," Nathan said softly.
Mandy walked slowly towards him, wondering what he was going to do next.
"Have a seat, please." Just as Mandy's eyes fell upon the chair, Nathan pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his laps without giving her an option to react.
Mandy's heart started pounding faster. Every time she got close to Nathan, she felt excited and got pulled towards him. This time as well, she could feel the sudden pull inside her stomach. Now, they were sitting intimately, looking at each other's eyes.
"My woman doesn't need to work so hard," Nathan said softly as his eyes darkened. At this moment, his face was calm, full of tenderness and love as he looked intently into Mandy's eyes.
"What? Do you have a split personality?" Mandy could not resist the obvious question from coming out of her mind. Although, right after blurting it out, she had a momentary regret for having said so in such a point-blank manner.
Nathan had a volatile temper, now burning with fever or shivering with cold. Mandy seriously wondered whether he had a split personality. If Nathan didn't have a split personality, she felt that she was going to have a split personality very soon.
He had always either blown hot or cold. At the moment, Nathan's tenderness left Mandy in a bewildered state.
"I feel, it is proper for me to treat my woman nicely!" Nathan chuckled. He could sense the dilemma in Mandy's mind, but he didn't know how to answer her.
"Mand..." Sitting on Nathan's lap, Mandy was trembling with fear. She felt as if her back seemed to have become frozen and numb.
"Sleep with me tonight," Nathan ordered as he suddenly stood up with an evil smile at the corner of his mouth. Nathan lifted Mandy in his strong arms as he frowned slightly. At that moment, as he held Mandy in his arms, he felt that Mandy was really lightweight.
"Why?" Mandy blurted at once. Then as she looked into his passionate eyes, she blushed and mellowed down.
"Don't you think that after this month, we will lead separate lives?" Nathan answered gently yet with a heavy voice as he carried her in his arms, walking towards the bedroom step by step.
Mandy looked at him with her mouth agape. Oh, Nathan hadn't touched her last night, but it didn't mean that he would never touch her. It seemed that she was too sensitive and had over thought about him.
"You are my woman, and you should be more intelligent. You know, I don't like stupid women," Nathan said cryptically. He reminded Mandy that she should be active when it was the right time.
Mandy's heart froze at the thought of it. Mandy was the last person to take the initiative. She'd rather die than take initiative in sex.
Lost in her thoughts, Mandy didn't even realize it when they reached the bedroom. Only when Mandy felt something was soft touching her back, did she realize that she had been put down on the bed by Nathan.
Nathan began to kiss her. His kisses pummeled her lips as if he was punishing her for something.
