Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 60 Call Me Nathan

Hearing Mandy's words, the corners of Nathan's mouth turned up into a smile.

"Did you go home tonight?" Nathan suddenly asked, his eyes squinting with suspicion.

"Yes, I did, President Jin," Mandy respectfully answered

He cast a sharp glance at the floor. If Mandy were standing in front of him, he would eat her up whole!

It was off putting that she would call him President Jin as if she were a stranger.

"Call me Nathan, please," said Nathan. It was definite that he didn't like the estranged way Mandy called him. Perhaps it was because Mandy had already occupied a very important position in his heart.

Hearing this, Mandy coughed awkwardly and said, "Nathan."

When she said his name, her voice was very soft. But it was still audible to Nathan through the phone.

Looking out the window, Nathan's mouth slowly curled into a smirk. "Good girl. Wait for me to come back, alright?" he said with satisfaction.

"I will." It was weird that Nathan suddenly became so gentle. One moment Nathan would be cold and aloof, and the next moment he would become gentle and passionate. These attitude swings were driving Mandy crazy.

When he heard her answer, the smile on Nathan's face deepened. "Good night," he murmured through the phone.

"Okay," Mandy replied quietly, still feeling a bit shy towards Nathan.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Fiona pushed the door open and came in with a mischievous smile on her pure face. "Sister, you look completely flushed right now. Who were you talking to on the

phone?"

"You little kid, don't ask me things like that. Have you finished your homework?" Mandy said, trying to change the topic. Closing her eyes, she plopped back onto her bed once again.

"Sister, don't change the topic. Tell me, are you in a relationship with our teacher, Mr. Xu?" Fiona asked curiously, walking towards Mandy. At that moment, her eyes were twinkling, intent on gossiping about her sister's relationship.

Hearing that, Mandy sat up gracefully. She raised an eyebrow at Fiona, a sly smile swept across her face. "Is that what you think?" Mandy asked, raising her hand to gently stroke Fiona's hair. "Let me ask you. Do your teachers give you enough homework at school? How about I call Mr. Xu and ask him to assign more homework to you?" Mandy slyly said.

"Sister!" protested Fiona as she shook Mandy's arm. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Look here, kid. Don't be gossipy. There is nothing between me and Mr. Xu. We're just friends. It is not what you think."

"But why do I feel that Mr. Xu has a crush on you?" Fiona murmured.

"It is all just in your imagination, okay? Go to bed." Mandy stared at Fiona, frowning. But in her heart, she loved her younger sister very much.

"Sister, this isn't fair! Don't try to keep secrets from me. I want to be the first one to know if you fall in love with somebody again. Okay?" Fiona took her pajamas from the wardrobe as she pouted.

"Yeah, sure. You should go sleep now." Although Mandy said yes, she knew that she wouldn't be able to easily tell anyone about her relationship. In fact, she would never tell anyone about the secret relationship between her and Nathan.

Fortunately, there was only a month left. Mandy hoped that one month could pass quickly.

The next day, Mandy slept in for half a day. On the other hand, Fiona got up early, studying her English books in her room.

"Fiona, do you want to study abroad?" said Mandy with a yawn. She saw Fiona studying, and sat up on the bed, her hair in a tangled mess.

"No, I don't want to," without a second thought, Fiona replied with conviction.

"Why not?"

"I like it here in City A. I don't want to stay anywhere else but here," Fiona said matter-of-factly as she closed the book and sat on the edge of Mandy's bed.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that there are several boys in your class who like you," Mandy teased as she remembered what Bruce had said to her last night.

The expression on Fiona's face fell flat. "See? Is it Mr. Xu who told you about this? How can you deny about the relationship between you?" Fiona countered, trying to sound like a mature and calculating adult.

"Don't try to deflect the topic. Tell me the truth."

"Yes, you're right. Your sister is beautiful. It is normal that someone would chase after me, but I don't like any of those boys," Fiona said frankly, her mouth turning into a pout.

"That is great actually. Just remember what I told you, Fiona. Don't fall in love at an early age," Mandy said gently.

"Sister, is it really true that you and Daniel are over?" After a moment of silence, Fiona brought up the topic about Daniel again.

"Yes, it is over.' With a slight sad smile on her mouth, Mandy thought everything that had happened between them was nothing but a dream.

She didn't tell her parents about his family background, so she just kept some things to herself. She knew that Daniel had first loved, and then hated, and retaliated against the Zhou family. Now, everything was over.

"Sister, so you don't have any feelings for him anymore?" Fiona asked in disbelief. There was something telling her that Mandy still had something hidden in her heart.

Shaking her head, Mandy confidently said, "No, I don't."

Then she sat up from the bed, opened her laptop and deleted all of their photos she had saved.

Looking at her sister's determined actions, Fiona felt a little confused in her heart. 'When I get to love someone, would it also end up like this? Would I throw it all away so easily and just simply remove everything related to him?' Fiona thought to herself.

There was a lot of determination going through Mandy. Everything that was related to Daniel or their relationship went straight into the recycle bin. In truth, she still had a bit of guilt in her heart for Daniel. They both had some guilt towards each other, in fact. If the Zhou Family hadn't purchased the company of the Zhao Family fifteen years ago, Daniel's parents would not have taken their own lives. He would have been a happy child.

Thinking for a while, Mandy felt that it was nothing but the maneuvering of the fates. All she could do to the memory between them was to let it go.

Time slipped away so fast on that one day Mandy stayed at home. In the afternoon, Mandy took Fiona back to school. Then she asked Cassie out to go shopping together.

Mandy didn't want to go back to that villa so early. In that villa, she felt like a trapped bird. The splendid villa was not a home to her, but rather a cage.

"So, can I ask you why you've come to ask me out today?" asked Cassie. They were walking down the street with their hot cups of coffee in their hands.

"What? You ask that as if I'm busy all the time," Mandy murmured unhappily. But now that she thought about it, she did not seem to have had a break the past few days.

"Yes, you are busy all the time. Oh, right, I heard that the intern nurses will have to take an examination next month. I don't know if I can make it and stay in the JR Hospital," With her head down, a tinge of worry and depression could be seen in Cassie's eyes.

"Cas, have confidence in yourself. Don't worry. I'll give you a full score," Mandy promised, patting her shoulder.

"Thank you, Mand," she said as she looked at Mandy gratefully.

"Of course! We're good friends after all. Don't worry about it, okay?" Mandy smiled as she spoke. She put her hand on Cassie's shoulder.

"Anyway... I don't think Harry likes me," Cassie pouted her lips as she felt a little upset and disappointed.

Maybe it was because Cassie was a close friend of Mandy. Whatever the reason was, Harry was very blatant towards how much he didn't like Cassie whenever he saw her.
