A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 26 Live With Him

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.

'Bastard! At this point, I might not be able to pay the rent!'

In order to take advantage of staying in their home, Mandy had specifically asked for a three-day leave.

In fact, she even planned to go to the beach with them just so she could show off her curvy figure. However, Essie was not in the mood to accompany her. After reading the menu that Zac had handed to her, she was beyond furious. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He wanted a bowl of rice with stewed beef, boiled prawns, and steamed turbot.

'Doesn't he know that money doesn't grow on trees?' she thought exasperatedly.

"Essie, which swimsuit do you think looks better on me?" Mandy didn't notice the painful expression that had just passed Essie's face as she was selecting her swimsuit for the day.

"It's rare for you to take a day off, don't you think? How about I'll accompany you to find a house?" she suggested weakly. Although she loved her best friend, she didn't want her to be staying in her house for

too long. Otherwise, she might not have extra money by the end of the month.

Mandy shot her a pointed look. "Essie, to tell you the truth, my landlord didn't sell the house," she explained. "I just thought it would be more convenient for me to pursue him if I live with you. I won't leave until he falls in love with me."

Essie thought that she was going to break down right then and there. Except for the man's looks, why the hell was Mandy so obsessed with him?

"Don't you always look down on the poor?" she said reproachfully, hoping to change her mind.

"You once told me that money and looks don't matter right? That's the belief I'm practicing now!" Mandy grinned. Mandy let Essie think that he was a poor man. It was only in this way was she able to feel at ease.

"Oh, the power of love." Essie sighed. Mandy held her hands. "Please, Essie, help a girl out!"

Of course she would. For the sake of her own money, she would do everything to get the guy to fall in love at her.

Therefore, she kept herself together and entered Zac's room.
