"Hello, Bruce!" Mandy answered gently as soon as she recognized Bruce's voice.
"Are you busy, Mandy?" Bruce had been checking the exam papers of his students the whole day. Fiona got a hundred percent in mathematics.
"No, I'm not busy. What's up?" Mandy answered as she looked at herself in the mirror, smiling. She burst into a silvery laughter when she saw the "freckles" all over her face.
It was the first time that Mandy had intentionally put on displeasing make-up. Upon seeing her make-up on the mirror, she was shocked to think that this make-up style really worked for women.
"I called to tell you that Nana improved a lot this semester. She's got a full mark in mathematics and also got good grades in her other courses," Bruce said.
"Really? That's amazing!" Mandy said with a big smile on her face.
"I know she is a hardworking and strong-willed student," Bruce proudly said.
"Did you just checked exam papers the whole day?" Mandy asked.
"Yes, that's right. I'm so tired, my head is killing me right now," Bruce complained.
"Mr. Xu, go back to your room and rest. I have something to deal with. Let's talk on WeChat when we're free," Mandy said over the phone as she checked the time. It was almost time for her scheduled blind date.
"Okay," Bruce said lightly. Then he waited for Mandy to hang up first because he didn't want Mandy to hear the sound of the phone's beep.
He knew that the beeping sound on the phone could make Mandy disappointed.
At Starbucks
There weren't many people at Starbucks during mealtimes. The moment Mandy entered, she saw a man in a white t-shirt quietly sitting next to the window. He looked like he was waiting for someone.
Mandy wasn't sure if the man in the white t-shirt was Mr. Lin. She thought she should have looked at his photo in advance. Mandy slowly walked up to the man and stood there in front of him.
"Are you Mr. Lin?" Mandy asked in a shy manner. Mandy wore red glasses. Her face was covered with "freckles," and her skin was black and white. Her make-up, at the moment, looked very weird.
Justin, on the other hand, was a very handsome man. He had thin eyebrows, full lips, and deep eyes. His face was perfectly carved, accentuating his white and smooth skin. Mandy found Justin extremely good looking!
Justin was shocked when he saw the girl in front of him. However, upon taking a better look, he knew that the girl in front of him was none other than Mandy. How come she looked completely different in her photos?
"Are you Miss Zhou? Please have a seat!" Justin said courteously, forcing himself to calm down.
Mandy sat down, completely uncomfortable with her new make-up style. After she put her bag down, she crossed her legs and rudely asked, "What's your name?"
"Justin Lin," Justine replied with a gentle and polite smile.
"Oh," Mandy coldly said. At the moment, she was mimicking Nathan's voice and gestures.
