Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 61

"Cas, don't bother thinking about it too much. That's just how Harry is. He always acts and looks that way no matter who he meets. On second thought, he doesn't act that when he meets the director of the hospital. But other than that, he's really just like that to everyone. Have you ever seen Harry being nice to us?" Mandy comforted Cassie. Mandy didn't care about Harry's manner at all. She said that in a domineering tone. She liked it when Harry didn't like her but couldn't do anything with her. He always treated others with this attitude, so she couldn't really help but treat him the same way. After all, she owed him nothing, so there was no need for her to appease him.

"Okay. I guess you have a point, Mand. It's so good to have you here," Cassie smiled and thanked her. Mandy was always so nice and so considerate, using her own special way to comfort others. No wonder both her colleagues and patients in the hospital liked Mandy very much.

Meanwhile, Nathan arrived at JS International that afternoon.

He returned from abroad without anyone knowing about his arrival. All the staff at JS International were shocked. They did not expect that Nathan would arrive so soon.

Thinking that he was supposedly coming back a few days from now, they had thought they would be able to relax. But now, since their boss had come back ahead of schedule, they had to be on tenterhooks again. They couldn't help but cry in their hearts, 'Our wonderful holiday is gone. Now that the boss is back, every second is on edge!'

When working for Nathan, no one was allowed to make any mistakes. They were under great pressure to work for him, so that was the reason why they cherished their valuable holiday so much. Besides, Nathan was a tough and shrewd businessman. His rivals took a lot of effort to compete with him but could still hardly take him down.

"Boss, take a look at this. This land has great potential to be a central landmark in our city. It's going to be the most valuable place in two years." Fred took a classified document in his hand and set it in front of Nathan. He was very optimistic about the value and development of this land. He wanted Nathan to rate it, too.

"Who is competing with us now?" asked Nathan. He had been interested in the land for a long time. No one was allowed to take it from him. He was raking his mind on how to get this land in his hands.

This land was like a delicious meal that everyone wanted to have. Nathan knew that it was not that easy to get it. But, in retrospect, if it was so easy to get the land, it would be too boring for him, and he wouldn't be as interested as he was now.

The deputy mayor had a talk with him a few days ago and offered him a high price to get the land. Thus he refused at that time because overpaying for it would be his last choice.

"The Lin group. I've heard that Alex had been going in and out of the city hall. He nearly trampled the threshold of the city hall," Fred replied mockingly. A smug smile crept onto his face.

"The deputy mayor, Joshua, offered a high price. Last time he said to me in the bar that the land valued 800 million," Nathan sneered. This deputy mayor really took him for a fool.

"Isn't he too greedy? The land is estimated to be around 300 million at most," Fred said with a smile, his eyes lighting up. Now he knew that Nathan also agreed with him. He did not make a wrong assessment. His heart was filled with great sense of achievement.

"Yes, that's why I'm still hesitant. Fred, please help me spread the news that I want to get the land. Whoever will compete with me to take it from me will come to no good end," Nathan said flatly. A ferocity flashed across Nathan's eyes. He decided that if Joshua wanted to play games with him, he would definitely beat him up mercilessly.

"As your wish, Boss. I will do it right now," Fred replied. Fred picked up a pen and drew a circle on the document. In his opinion, this land seemed worthless compared to those lands in the central city. But in five years, it would surely become one of the most prosperous commercial circles in City A.

The Lin Group was an old enterprise in City A, passed on from generation to generation. Alex was five years older than Jason. The Lin Group didn't have any business relationships with JS International because they were at odds for a long time. Alex was a business mogul and had a very good relationship with other businessmen.

"If you don't mind me asking... Why did you come back early, Boss?" Fred closed the folder with a wicked smile on his face. He was definitely sure that Nathan came back earlier for Mandy.

It seemed that Nathan knew what Fred was thinking about. After taking a glance at him, Nathan curled his lips and said, "I did my work as efficiently as I could, okay? Nothing more."

"Hmm... Everyone already knows that our boss is an efficient man. But I guessed that you worked tirelessly just to meet your beauty as soon as possible." Fred put on a teasing smile. Since they were done discussing the issue about the land, he decided he could afford to joke around with Nathan. After all, they had known each other for many years, and they had a good relationship. Otherwise, Fred had no courage to joke with him.

"What are you talking about? She is just a plaything of mine. You don't need to take her too seriously because I don't," retorted Nathan, his tone cold and indifferent. He stared at the document in his hand with a blank expression on his face.

For a man as powerful and rich as him, he thought that he had the right to have both a successful career and beautiful women.

"Are you sure?" Fred asked. He could not believe a word Nathan said right now.

"Stop gossiping. Go to work or I'll deduct your pay right now," Nathan said, giving Fred a hostile look. His eyes became sharp, and he tossed the documents from the table towards Fred, indicating that he should go.
