Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 690

"What about the time after next?"

"Both of us!"

Mandy tried her best to coax her arrogant husband.

At the Ye Group

It was mid-autumn. In mid-September, the weather was still a little sultry, but less hot than the scorching summer the year had seen. Bonnie wore a simple, pink dress with a nipped waist and a pair of high-heeled shoes, which set off her tall figure and made her look much taller than usual.

Simon was in a meeting, so Bonnie waited for him in his office.

Ever since Simon had taken over the business at the Ye Group, and Bonnie had started coming to the office, she'd been particularly annoyed with the smell of tea in his office. Simon was a thoughtful man both in life and at work, as he had been since his student days. Bonnie knew he was a neat freak and recalled their time in high school. She remembered how he would mop off the table and chair every day at school.

Rays of warm sunshine came in the office through the Venetian blinds. The air was warm, but it mingled well with the light breeze. Simon had turned the air conditioner off and opened a window before leaving for the meeting.

Simon couldn't tolerate heat at all, so he always needed the air conditioner, even in late autumn. But he had changed his habits after marrying Nacy.

Bonnie lay down on the couch with a satisfied, cozy smile, and even her heart seemed to be singing and waltzing. She took her phone out and played a happy song with a ukulele intro. She was in the best of spirits.

She felt like what she had waiting and hoping for had finally happened.

Simon and Nacy had ended their three-year-long marriage. It was good for Bonnie since they'd gotten divorced without a child. Moreover, Nacy had already started dating Bruce. Naturally, Bonnie assumed Simon's relationship with Nacy was over for good, and couldn't be rekindled.

"I am jealous of you because your love is so imposing like a queen with unparalleled popularity. What you want is not me, but a kind of vanity. You don't look outstanding unless someone loves you..." The song "International Queen" played in the quiet office. It was Bonnie's favorite song. She closed her eyes and hummed along with the music.

Just then, Simon pushed the door open and walked in, frowning. He was wearing a black suit with a simple, crisp white shirt.

His secretary had already told him Bonnie was waiting for him inside.

Simon was mentally prepared. Even though he didn't like this woman, he needed to play along with her. Only when he found out the truth about Nacy's miscarriage could he ask Nacy to come back to him.

"Simon, how are you!" Bonnie exclaimed, getting up from the couch. She walked toward him like an innocent child.

Simon seemed to have lost some weight. His face looked sharper than before, and his cheeks had lost flesh too. His eyes seemed to have sunk in, granting him a dull look.

"Why are you here, Bonnie?" Simon asked, staring into her eyes with his lips pursed.

"What? Didn't you want to see me here?" Bonnie pouted her lips mockingly, her face full of pride.

"No...I'm busy with work. If you don't have anything important, you should leave. I'll take you out for dinner when I'm free, okay?" Simon spoke with a straight face. Although he didn't want to see her at all, right now he couldn't brush her off bluntly.
