Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 46

The next morning, the sun came up slowly from the horizon, breaking the dawn of a new day.

And with that came the date of their agreement. From today, Mandy was going to live with Nathan!

"Ding Dong!"

the doorbell rang very early in the morning. Afraid of disturbing her parents, Mandy jumped out of bed and rushed to open the door almost bare foot.

When she opened the door, she was stunned.

She couldn't believe that Nathan had come personally to pick her up.

"What? You? Why have you come here?" Mandy spoke incoherently. Maybe, she was a little excited to see Nathan in the early morning. But at the same time, she was also afraid that her parents would come to know about him.

"I'm here to pick you up. Why do you look so surprised?" Nathan smirked. His eyes traveled from her wide-eyed face downwards, only to stop at her feet. He raised his left eyebrow and cast a weird glace at Mandy's face when he noticed that she had come to answer the doorbell without even putting on her shoes. He wondered that Mandy must be that excited to meet him.

"I thought that you asked someone to pick me up?" Mandy stammered with guilt. And then she turned her head to look into the house, fearing that her parents would come out. Her heart pounded, and she had a strange feeling in her stomach.

"What? This is your house. Why are you behaving like a thief? Are you so afraid that I might be discovered by your family?" Nathan smiled teasingly and narrowed his dark eyes at Mandy.

"No. That's not true. Wait a minute," Mandy said, and the very next moment, she slammed the door shut.

With the door banging closed on his face, Nathan was left outside the door. He gnashed his teeth and shouted angrily, "Bad girl."

"Knock, knock, knock." A few moments later, he heard a scurry of footsteps.

Mandy opened the door again and threw two huge suitcases at Nathan, and said with a twisted smile, "Thank you, Mr. Jin."

Nathan picked up the suitcases with ease and leaned against the door. He looked into Mandy's eyes and said jokingly, "Do you know how heavy it is? In fact, why don't you invite me to your house for a cup of tea?"

"No, Mr. Jin. It's not a good idea to have tea here. The tea in my home tastes bad. Moreover, I'm sure you don't like tea, either," Mandy refused Nathan with a cordial smile. She was both nervous and worried at the same time.

'Oh, my God! Why hasn't he left yet?' Mandy thought in her mind.

"Now you want to drive me away, don't you? Okay. No problem," Nathan said as he rolled his dark eyes mischievously. Then he stretched out his slender finger and tapped on the side of his face.

His evil smile was self-explanatory. Mandy knew what he meant. He just wanted her to kiss him.

Without wasting any more time and also to make sure that Nathan went away as quickly as possible, she stood on her toes and planted a kiss on his left cheek. It was the first time that she had kissed him.

When his masculine air lingered on Mandy's nose, she blushed. She lowered her head bashfully and said, "Okay, you can go now."

"Okay, after work, you have to come directly to No. 520, Haibin Road. That's our home," Nathan said. After that, he waved his hand and left carrying the two suitcases in his hands.

As soon as he reached the gate, Fred caught up with him and took the suitcases from him.

"Ahem, you look very happy." Fred had been working for Nathan for so many years. Hence, he knew very well what kind of person Nathan was.

Unexpectedly, there was a childish smile on Nathan's face. He licked his lips and said, "No."

"That's not your style of denying," Fred remarked.

"Are you free now? Then you can go back and copy some words for ten times?" Nathan said cheerfully, as he took long strides ahead.

Even though Fred put on a speechless expression, he didn't say anything. He knew that it was better to keep it to himself, because if he spoke it out, Nathan would feel awkward.

This day, time flew more rapidly. After Mandy got off from her work, she drove to Nathan's home.

No. 520, Haibin Road

After jumping out of the car, she saw a European style villa. Nathan had bought this villa with his first earnings at the age of nineteen. But he had never lived here for so many years. He just came back occasionally. He was waiting for the hostess.

Mandy felt rather uneasy as she stood at the door. The iron door outside the villa was not fully closed. She thought, probably Nathan was there inside the villa.

Mandy looked around as she tiptoed inside the villa. She found it rather strange that there was no one in the villa as she entered it. Mandy thought that a rich young man like Nathan would have many servants around the house, but all she could see in this villa were some expensive paintings.

The door of the quiet villa was suddenly slammed shut. Mandy was startled. She raised her neck and looked up. A sound came from upstairs. She walked towards the second floor, excited to meet Nathan.

When she pushed open the door, she saw a sexy woman with a delicate face wearing a bathrobe. She seemed to have come out of the shower, and her hair was still wet.

The woman in the bathrobe also saw Mandy. Even she was startled to find a strange girl in the villa. Her beautiful eyes suddenly became vicious. She asked with hostility, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Mandy was left heartbroken to find another woman in the villa. She felt that she had been given a hard blow on her chest.

'Did Nathan ask me to move in as well? Maybe he wanted to show off his love with other women?' Mandy thought in her mind.

"I... I am..." Suddenly, Mandy broke into wild laughter. She just happened to open and close her mouth, but couldn't tell who she was.

Who was she?

The woman in a bathrobe seemed to be quite comfortable with the place. From her demeanor, it seemed that she had stayed here before. 'If it was the first time she had come here, how would she have a bath here?' Mandy speculated.

"Nathan, who is she?" The woman in the bathrobe suddenly rushed over and threw herself into Nathan's arms. Mandy could not help but narrow her eyes as she watched the woman's two fair and slender arms hung like a koala on his neck.

And much to Mandy's astonishment, instead of pushing her away, Nathan took her into his arms. With doting eyes on her, he grinned and said, "She's a new maid."

'Maid? New maid!'

At first, Mandy felt that there was something wrong with her ears. She turned around and saw Nathan's cold eyes.

When Mandy noticed carefully, she saw that Nathan smiled at that woman, but stared at her coldly. Mandy could feel the coldness of his eyes right inside her heart. He had asked her to be his woman. But now it turned out that he wanted her to come here to be his maid.

Thinking of that, Mandy chuckled to herself. 'How silly I am.

But why does my heart hurt so much? Do I? No! I don't love Nathan! I don't love him at all!'

That kind of ridicule stabbed into Mandy's heart like a sharp knife.

The woman cuddled by Nathan laughed complacently. The vigilance in her eyes gradually faded away, but she still put on a smug smile at Mandy, as if she was the real hostess.

Mandy stood still, feeling her legs were so heavy that she couldn't move them.

"Nathan, what shall we have for dinner?" Eve said as she stood on her toes. She lingered her perfectly manicured fingers on Nathan's chest while she had her eyes fixed on Mandy.

Mandy lowered her head out of utter embarrassment. She felt numb in her head. Her knees trembled, and she felt it extremely difficult to breathe.

"Steak, what do you say?" Nathan turned around and pulled Eve to sit in front of the dresser. Then he bent over and took out the hairdryer from the drawer.
