Chapter 79 Thank You, Nathan!
Chapter 79 Thank You, Nathan!
"How is it? It's very nice here, isn't it?" Mandy asked with a grin creeping onto her face when she saw how Nathan's knitted eyebrows finally relaxed.
"You're pushing your luck today," Nathan snickered and the sneer on his face remained as he stared at Mandy.
While pouring hotpot dishes into the pot, Mandy couldn't help licking her lips as the savory smell reminded her of her childhood.
"Do you like hotpot dishes, Nathan?" Radiance filled Mandy while staring at the steaming dishes in the hot pot.
"I don't like it," Nathan responded, not even glancing at her. The frigidness in his eyes was alarming.
"Really? Do you think so? Should we leave here and go to another place?" Mandy said with disappointment edging into her voice, and then she looked down.
"I don't like it, yet, I don't dislike it! "Nathan said. The way Mandy spoke evoked Nathan's kindness, and there was a minor change in his glittering eyes.
"Phew!" Hearing Nathan's comments, Mandy sighed with satisfaction. Then she placed the food into the hot pot with delight.
"Don't put too many dishes into it. You cannot finish all of them," Nathan said disdainfully. 'How could she ingest that much? She must have been a boar in her past incarnation!' Nathan reflected.
"Of course I can finish it. You can help me finish it," Mandy responded with a beaming smile. Her exquisite face was glorious in the light, but Nathan couldn't help grimacing when he noticed the one side of her face had not been washed off from makeup.
"Come here!" Nathan gave an immediate order as he twisted his finger at Mandy
Mandy stepped towards him and looked straight at him.
Nathan took out a bundle of soggy tissue and mopped off the make-up on Mandy's face. He was so gentle to avoid hurting her. He didn't wear a delightful smile until he saw her perfect face was cleared.
"I don't approve for anybody to touch your face!" Nathan said. His icy voice had a hint of caution.
"Yes." Mandy nodded her head as if he possessed her. In fact, it had irked her when Justin helped wipe her face today even though he did so in brief seconds. It was out of her expectation. But she was glad because Justin did it with the tissue.
"Is Justin the man who was on the blind date with you today?" Nathan asked as his eyebrows somewhat frowned. Although he had never met Justin in person, he had seen Justin's information on the Internet, so he got to recall his features since he could recognize people with ease and had a great recollection.
"Yeah, it's him!" Mandy answered, not even astonished at all. 'As long as it's what Nathan wishes to know, he will discover it soon!' she thought to herself.
At the moment, Nathan tightened his eyes and snickered. 'The game is becoming better and more entertaining!' Nathan reflected to himself.
"Where is your former high school?" Mandy asked while eating the dishes in the hot pot.
'It's delicious…' she thought.
"No. 1 High School," Nathan answered before he took up his chopsticks and started to chew the mutton in the hot pot with grace.
"Really? So you are my senior!" Mandy exclaimed as joy overwhelmed her. She slightly moved her ruddy lips as if a blossoming red rose in the night sky touched her, which had magical power.
"So I am unlucky, to have a stupid junior like you, am I not?" Nathan joked in leisure with a smile registering on his face.
"Humph! Who is your stupid junior?" Mandy retorted with a muffled voice. She rested her arms on her hips while flaring. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Look at yourself! You are so easy to get irritated. Aren't you stupid?" Nathan bluffed, yet there was no expression written on his face. He just ate the dish in the hot pot and realized it tasted so good!
Mandy didn't reply this time. After that, they dined together with silence circling them, and the place was not at all annoying.
Then all of a sudden, Nathan's mobile phone vibrated, so he picked it up from the table, put it beside his ear, and listened.
"Mr. Jin, I have already ascertained the true facts. They said that the evil woman called Jenny and her boyfriend framed Fiona. It was Jenny's boyfriend who had put a posting from an illegal Internet cafe," Fred reported.
Nathan was sitting still, and his sinister eyes stirred up waves.
"Jenny is already so vicious at such a young age. Tell the principal to expel her from the school. Then send out a message that no school is allowed to accept her!" Nathan ordered over the phone. His haughty tone was like being wrapped with a blanket of frost, causing other people to feel coldness.
Mandy was busy loving her hot pot opposite Nathan. At that time, she felt anxiety wrapping her. She wondered what facts Fred had determined.
"Okay!" Fred answered over the phone.
"Plus, just tell those students to delete the photos and postings immediately. If they dare to mention this matter again, they'll go belly up! And their parents will be laid off!" Nathan growled. He later recalled that Fred had informed him that Jenny's parents were both civil officials in City A. The reason Jenny got into the No. 1 High School was through inequity, not through intelligence. Nathan figured that this kind of froth shouldn't remain in the world.
Fred listened, tight-lipped, and there was no expression on Fred's face when he thought, 'How ruthless Mr. Jin is! He really bristled with rage for that beauty's sake! What Nathan just ordered would cause severe damage to Jenny and her family.'
When Nathan hung up the phone, Mandy also put down her chopsticks. She licked her lips and felt her chest throb. "You mentioned Jenny just now. Are you investigating about my sister?" Mandy asked.
"Yes," Nathan answered.
"Oh, my God! When did this happen?" Mandy exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Don't worry. I'll handle it!" Nathan responded. He was a relentless man, yet he didn't wish to get Mandy linked into these dark matters.
"Can I visit my sister after work tomorrow?" Mandy's asked as her lovely eyes twinkled like there were stars all over them.
Without responding, Nathan acknowledged her and proceeded to eat the dish in the hot pot with great composure.
At that stage, Mandy rose and moved towards him, intending to give Nathan a huge hug.
"Thank you, Nathan!" Mandy wrapped her arms around him like a koala dangling on his neck. She was skinny but well built.
Nathan's lips twitched up and awe crowded his eyes. Just now, Mandy had even called him by his name. Nathan realized he had to give her a bit of acknowledgment so that she could have a slight conscience.
"It's my pleasure!" Nathan whispered. The shimmering light that reflected on her face made Mandy's smile more ecstatic. Staring at her beaming so, Nathan sensed that what he had done for her was worth the struggle.
