Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 82

Later that morning, when Mandy woke up, she caressed the pillow but discovered it was empty.

When she went downstairs, she noticed Lillian was waiting for her at the dinner table. There were only tableware and some dishes on it, but Nathan was not around anymore.

"Good morning, Miss Zhou." Lillian saw that Mandy was a little depressed, so she gave her a warm approach.

"Good morning, Lillian." Mandy stepped over, feeling a little disappointed.

Living there, she had no sense of continuance because Nathan always disappeared whenever he wished and didn't care about her emotions. She also didn't want to live in such a mess anymore.

"Miss Zhou, please enjoy your meal. Mr. Jin has gone to work." Lillian paused and stared at the expression on Mandy's face. She seemed to think about whether or not she should bring up Nathan.

"Okay, I know." Tired, Mandy took a glance down the hall. The grand place was crisp and empty, without a trace of home. How could she like such a place?

Their relationship was like a roller-coaster. When it seemed so perfect, Mandy considered she was fantasizing. Only when their commitment turned stiff did she feel that it was so certain.

"Mr. Jin is very busy with his work. Miss Zhou, please don't mind it," Lillian said. Noticing that Mandy was quite miserable, she decided to say something more.

"That's okay. At least... I know who I am." Mandy laughed at herself, but there was a hint of desolation in the sound.

She was just his underground sweetheart, not even his mistress. She was his plaything, so how dare she care about him?

Lillian was a woman who had loads of experience. That was why she could see the anguish in Mandy's eyes. She walked forward, seized her hand, and said, "Miss Zhou, actually, Mr. Jin is still very concerned about you."

"Lillian, don't try to influence me. I'm going to leave here in half a month. I want to get along well with him for the remaining time and then disappear." Mandy lowered her eyes, and her thick eyelashes fluttered like a startled butterfly.

"Miss Zhou, I'm telling the truth. I know I shouldn't have said that, but Mr. Jin loves you." Lillian shook her head. If Nathan didn't love Mandy, how could he take her into his household? No woman had ever spent the night here in the villa.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about him," said Mandy as she patted Lillian's hand.

Mandy was clever enough to realize why Lillian put in a proper word for Nathan. Besides he had employed Lillian.

In the JS International

Standing in front of the huge French window with a bitter face, Nathan glanced down at the ground below. There were swarms of people and lines of automobiles on the street. Nathan loved that feeling so much. He felt warm every morning when the sun's rays struck him.

Fred knocked on the door and walked in.

In JS International, Fred was the only person who could get in the CEO's office without waiting for Nathan's acknowledgment.

"Mr. Jin, why did you come here so early today?" Fred quipped as he stood beside Nathan.

"I need your help. I need you to find a guy called Bruce." Turning around, Nathan was concealed in dim emotions, and no one could see any signs on his face.

"Which one?" Fred's eyebrows crumpled as he couldn't take it.

Nathan always caused him troubles. He didn't even give him the full name but ordered him to find out who the man was. There were so many people in the world, and maybe it was just a nickname.

"If I had known it, I wouldn't have let you investigate it," Nathan answered. Coldness invaded his eyes.

"Is it about Miss Zhou?" Fred glanced at Nathan to read his mind.
