Meeting You Was Fate

Nacy narrowed her eyes and sneered. 'Here comes a foxtail!' she disdainfully thought.

"Eve," Nathan greeted her. Grinning, his features mellowed at the sight of her.

Nacy instinctively held Nathan's arm with her eyes full of hostility. She never liked Eve since their childhood. She had unfavorable impressions of her. Having had confidence in her sixth sense, she always felt that Eve was hollow and deceptive.

"You are also here, Nacy," Eve acknowledged softly. Despite her knowing Nacy hated her, she was helpless and could do nothing about it. After all, Nacy was Nathan's favorite cousin. And she couldn't afford to go against her right now. 'Perhaps, our relationship would be better soon after I married Nathan, ' she thought.

"Yes," Nacy responded coldly with her usual chilly and distant courtesy.

"Nacy, I have heard that your new movie will be coming out next month. I wish you a big box office hit! Congratulations in advance!" Eve babbled aloud as she smiled generously. She did not change her attitude even though Nacy was treating her coldly and distant. But instead, she made her more dignified and graceful with her words.

"Thank you," Nacy replied curtly, looking rather impatient.

Nathan was never fond of this kind of scene. He quickly turned to Simon and grunted, "I have something to tell you, buddy."

Simon appeared to realize something and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go over there. I haven't talked to you for a long time."

They eased their way towards the brightly lit yard.

The mansion of Ye Family was luxurious in every essence. Johnson, Simon's father, had a deep affinity with mountains and rivers. So the unique style of their mansion manifested his love of nature. It was patterned resembling mountains and rivers. And it even had an artificial waterfall in the courtyard that looked realistic. Indeed the mansion had the vibe of a natural resort.

"Why did you invite them at the same time?" Nathan skeptically raised as he put down the champagne and sank himself into the firm cushion of the lounge chair, resting his arms crossly behind his neck.
