Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 26

Mandy actually planned to stay in their house for the time being because her landlord had decided to sell her old apartment.

Hearing that, Essie's head was already hurting. If she knew her friend any better, her real purpose was to get close to Zac.

However, an icy guy like him wasn't planning on letting her stay over. The moment he heard of the news, his face darkened completely. In fact, what he wanted to do was walk over there and give her a piece of his mind.

Seeing that he was about to drive the woman away, Essie pulled him into the room in a hurry.

"Mandy will be moving out as soon as she finds a house. Just bear with her for a couple of days please," she begged, clasping her hands together.

"No," Zac said coldly. It was obvious that he wasn't there to negotiate with her.

Essie gritted her teeth. She had wanted to try and persuade him nicely, but seeing as he wasn't responding to that, she went for another route. "Look, I'm the one who rented the apartment. Hell, I'm the one paying for it too, so Mandy will live with me if I say so. If you're not happy, then you can find another apartment to live in for the next few days. You can come back when she leaves."

Zac clenched his jaw. "And why would I come back?" He sneered. "You're the one who will lose the bet, not me. In fact, I have nothing to do with this!"

Although he sounded like a spoiled child, she knew the underlying threat in his words. She sighed disappointedly. "Zac, did you have any misunderstanding with Mandy when you dated? Did you have a bad time at dinner?" His attitude towards Mandy was weird. In fact, Mandy was beautiful. Would it hurt him if he played nice with her?

"Is she really homeless?" Zac rolled his eyes.

"Look, her landlord already sold the house, and she has no other place to live. You know how the rent in the city has become outrageous these past few years." Essie held his arm and acted like a child begging her parent. "I remember that you like the stewed beef steak with radishes, right? How about I'll cook it for you every day? The real Sichuan beef, that's 60 dollars per kilogram. It will all be on me."

Slyness flashed in his eyes. "That's not enough. How about you cook whatever I want to eat?" Knowing how cheap the girl was, anything above 50 dollars of her regular expenses would make her throw a hissy fit. If she spent more than that, then she'd rather be pushing Mandy out of their house in no time.

Essie pulled a somber face.
