Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 705 He's Going To Pick Up A Friend

Mandy found that there was already a thick stack of notes in the box, about a dozen or so. She was moved, and her heart almost melted. She was very grateful for Nathan and for his meticulous care and love.

She closed the drawer and went downstairs with a smile. Lillian had already prepared a rich breakfast. She greeted Mandy with a smile.

"Good morning, madam."

"Lillian, what time did Nathan leave?" Mandy sat down at the dining table and took a sip of milk.

"He left before seven o'clock." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"That early? Did he have some breakfast?" Mandy asked with a gentle smile.

"Mr. Jin had a sandwich before he left for work."

Mandy touched her long hair and said with a smile, "That's good."

After breakfast, Mandy got ready for work and headed to the office. When she arrived at JS International, she went straight to her own office. She decided not to take a detour to Nathan's office.

Mandy was busy in the office all morning. She was so occupied that she did not realize that it was lunch time already. Anyway, she had a late breakfast, and she was not feeling hungry yet.

When she was about to call Nathan to invite him to lunch, her phone started ringing. It was Nathan.

Nathan was on his way to the airport to pick up an important friend. It was after the morning meeting that he heard that his friend was coming. He rushed to pick his friend up, and it was not until he got in

the car that he remembered it was already lunch time. He decided to call Mandy in case she looked for him and could not find him. He did not want her to worry.

"Honey, I have a friend who is coming to City A. I am now on my way to the airport to pick my friend up. I'm sorry I can't join you for lunch today." The calm and gentle voice of Nathan echoed from the phone.

"That's okay, dear. Remember to have lunch later, okay? Don't get yourself too tired," Mandy replied in a soft tone.

"Yes, I will. Go have your lunch." A happy, satisfied smile spread slowly across Nathan's face. His expression became more tender, the more he thought of Mandy.

After Mandy hung up the phone, Quintin came into her office with a thick stack of documents in his hands. He was dressed in a black suit as usual.

Mandy looked him up and down. He was about one meter and seventy-five in height with a standard figure. She could faintly see some chest muscles peeking through his shirt. He was two years older than she was, but he already gave off a sense of calm. He meticulously said to Mandy, "Ms. Zhou, this is the next month's plan, and this month's financial report."

"Have you taken a careful look at them?" Mandy flashed him a smile while looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Mandy's gaze made Quintin blush. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, I've checked them all."

Still faintly smiling, Mandy replied, "Okay. I trust you. Please put them on my table. I will go through them later."

"All right," Quintin said respectfully. He graduated from one of the best universities in China with a doctorate degree in finance. After graduation, he managed to get a job at JS International. At first, he

was employed by and worked for Nathan. Since Nathan trusted in his working ability and moral qualities so much, he appointed Quintin to work for Mandy.

Mandy was new in the company, and she had never been in the financial game before. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would be a little unfamiliar with her current job. Nathan thought it would be best if someone could give her a helping hand.

When Quintin turned around to leave, he heard Mandy's gentle voice call to him again. "Do you have a girlfriend, Mr. Qu?"

When Quintin heard her question, his whole body froze. He turned his head around and answered with a smile, "No, I don't. I'm single for the time being."

"Is there any girl you like?" Mandy teased him with a smile.

However, Quintin just shook his head and answered, "There's none. Well, none yet."

"That makes me want to believe that you have good taste in girls. There must be a lot of them chasing after you right now." Mandy touched her long hair casually. Since she started working in the company, she had felt that her subordinates were trying their best to keep a close relationship with her. The relationship between her and her subordinates now was not as casual as that between her and her former colleagues at JR Hospital.

Since she and her subordinates now were working in the same company, Mandy hoped that her relationship with them could become more casual and closer. After all, they were colleagues.

Mandy seldom chatted with her subordinates at ordinary times, but they all respected her a lot. Perhaps it was because of her identity as Nathan's wife.

The title Mrs. Jin was indeed very useful no matter where she went.

"No, there are no girls and no chasing. I've been single for a long time, and I don't want to fall in love with anyone. I think it's good to be alone. As a man, I aspire to establish a career first before having a girlfriend. If I don't work hard and make money when I'm young, I will not have the financial capability to marry in the future. Also, I really don't want to leech off my parents." Quintin looked gentle and elegant. He pushed his black-framed glasses to the bridge of his nose as he spoke and smiled.

Mandy looked at him admiringly. She did not expect that Quintin had such high aspirations in life at such a young age. Also, Mandy particularly disliked those NEETs—men who were not in education, employment, or training. They did nothing all day long. They disgusted Mandy.

"I think you're a responsible man. Work hard and keep at it, and I'm sure you will realize your dream someday." Mandy looked at him with a smile. She did not know that what she was doing and saying now was charming in Quintin's eyes.

Hearing that, Quintin squinted and said in a respectful manner, "Thank you for your encouragement, Ms. Zhou."

"Well, if that's all you have for me, you can go take your lunch." Mandy looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already twelve o'clock.

"Have you eaten yet, Ms. Zhou?" Quintin asked with concern.

"I'm not hungry yet. I ate a late breakfast." She smiled, opened the documents that Quintin gave her just now, and started to look through them.

Quintin then quietly left Mandy's office and closed the door behind him.

At the international airport of City A

The bustling crowd shuffled throughout the airport, which had always been a place full of laughter, tears, and all other sorts of human emotions.

While many people parted here, some others were gathering and meeting their loved ones.

A woman, about 170 centimetres in height, was wearing a claret-red vintage dress. The tight-waist design of the dress made her lithe and graceful figure look perfect. She wore a pair of dark brown sunglasses on her delicate face and a pair of seven-centimetre high-heeled shoes, which was Dior's latest autumn style.

The woman had fair skin. She was wearing red lipstick, and the classic-style dress she was in made her appear elegant and charming.

Wearing a black suit and shiny leather shoes, Nathan was waiting for her at the waiting hall with one hand in his pocket.

Audrey, who usually appeared cold and distant, suddenly smiled at the sight of Nathan. When she walked toward him, a touch of happiness and excitement flashed across her eyes. She smiled at Nathan like an innocent child.

"Nathan." Audrey opened her slender arms. Her high-heeled shoes made a loud clack on the floor as she flung herself into his arms.

Nathan smiled, but the deep look in his eyes did not fade away. His sharp eyebrows were smooth on his angular face, and there was a touch of tenderness and calm on it.

"Audrey." He squinted his dark eyes and smiled. He took her luggage and held her in his arms out of politeness.
