Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 30

When they went back to their seats, Mandy took off her sunglasses and summoned all of her courage to invite her dream lover. "Zac, how about we take a swim?" she suggested.

"I'm playing the Fight Against Landlords. Go on your own," Zac said, without even looking up at her. He was too focused on the phone.

Mandy had already been refused for so many times, so she had gotten used to it. She secretly pinched Essie a few times on the waist, as if asking her to instigate the entire thing.

Essie groaned in her heart. After what had happened, she didn't want to go into the waters again. However, she knew that if she didn't go, Zac wouldn't bother going either.

She didn't expect that she would risk her life trying to play matchmaker.

Sighing, she stretched her hand over the screen of the phone. "We can play at home. We don't get to go to the beach every day, you know. Why don't we enjoy ourselves?"

Zac narrowed his eyes. "You want to go? Are you deaf?" She wanted to go alone?

Essie frowned. "I remember everything that you've said, so obviously, I wouldn't go alone. That's why I want you to go with me." Her eyelashes fluttered.

His eyes gleamed with affection as he picked up the floater on the table. Without another word, he placed it over her head. "Follow me then. Don't run around," he advised.

Essie smiled and gave Mandy the OK signal.

Mandy smiled stiffly. Instead of gratitude, she couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. Although he was cold towards her, he was an absolute gentleman when he faced Essie. Even if he was a ruthless man, he was warm towards her best friend.

That wasn't a good sign.

Zac took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles.

"Wow, you have a great figure!"

"He's so handsome!"

"Prince charming, shall we meet in the dressing room at the back?"
