Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 75

In terms of playing mind games, Mandy was still wet behind the ears. She was totally naive and inexperienced.

Her heart racing, Mandy slowly lowered her head. She was afraid to look at Nathan.

She felt so embarrassed that he had seen through her mind. She was on pins and needles as she mused, 'Was he a mind reader?'

After a long silence, she heard Nathan speak with a straight face. "Tell me the time and location."

"Starbucks, Crystal Street, Eaton Square. I originally planned to go there after work tomorrow night." In one breath, Mandy had calmly told him the truth, silently thanking herself that she had managed to calm her nerves down. Her voice didn't crack nor show a sign of nervousness.

"Whew! Starbucks! It's full of fun!" Nathan said aloud as he cast a sideways glance at Mandy. He noticed the guilty look on her face as he scrutinized her.

Mandy remained silent. She was a proud woman, and she never did like swallowing her pride before. But now, for the sake of her family, she stooped so low and became Nathan's mistress. 'For her, going through these 30 days would be as easy as ABC, ' she had initially thought. But now, she felt like she had miscalculated everything.

"Mandy, you should behave yourself! As my woman, you should know what you should do and shouldn't do, understand?" Nathan reprimanded. He outwardly looked calm, but she could discern a hint of warning in his cold cheek.

Being such a calm and composed man, Nathan was good at putting a person to death by his mere silence. Hearing the way Nathan spoke, Mandy trembled slightly. Though the room's temperature was not low, she felt a chill ran down her spine with what Nathan had said.

"I know," Mandy replied obediently as her soft red lips moved slightly. She wished she could take his words with a grain of salt, but she wouldn't dare.

She had gotten herself into quite a predicament. She had promised Madeline that she would go on with the blind date, but now she was having a change of heart. At the thought of Madeline's nagging, Mandy furrowed her brows deeply.

When Nathan's dark and ferocious eyes finally fell on her, he suddenly laughed wildly and presumptuously.

It would have been alright if Nathan hadn't roared in laughter. But hearing him laughing in that way, Mandy became even more restless. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest.

"Okay, I'll give you half an hour to go on that blind date, then you must go home immediately!" Nathan ordered before he snickered, pretending to be considerate towards her. At the drop of a hat, he seemed to be very sympathetic.

Ever since Mandy got to know him, she realized that her ability to withstand pressure had become stronger and stronger. There were times Nathan behaved like a psychopath and sometimes behaved like a real gentleman. His mood as a whole fluctuated greatly. And these were the times Mandy felt that she was almost unable to stand it. But she believed that every cloud had a silver lining, so she braced herself for the worst to come.

"No… I'd better not go there," Mandy was having second thoughts as a hint of hesitation flashed through her eyes. She was terrified that Nathan would make trouble for her again, so she decided not to go.

Nathan watched her closely. His intent gaze traveled up and down, assessing her. He saw the fear in her eyes and the struggle in her heart, yet his instinct told him that Mandy didn't lie, so he was very relieved. The idea of Mandy seeing other men didn't sit well with him, but knowing her mother would be needing an explanation, Nathan finally relented. "What are you afraid of? I let you go this time. Do you understand?"

Nathan didn't worry that Mandy would choose someone else over him. After all, no one in the world was more handsome and rich than him.

"I know… I understand," Mandy responded in a trembling voice, barely over a whisper.

As the sun rose the following morning, Mandy was not herself that day. Though the sky was clear, promising a good day ahead, for her, it only meant another day that would make her feel like she was going to collapse any minute. Maybe she was feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

Half an hour later, Mandy was already making her rounds with her patients in JR Hospital.
