Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 56 I Don't Have Time To See You

"Oh, he is the son of Mr. Shi," Mandy answered with a smile. She didn't find anything wrong with him at all.

"Wow, now you have even made the acquaintance of Mr. Shi's son. I think you have a very strong personal connection with handsome young men," Jayleen joked.

"Jayleen, please don't make fun of me. He is the only one I know. We only said hello to each other when we met. That's all." Mandy frowned.

"Well, I know. You don't have to explain." Jayleen snickered mischievously.

Mandy's face flushed in embarrassment. 'What have I done?' she thought.

In the evening, Mandy went home straight after work. It was six in the evening when Mandy's phone blared with Nathan's phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Jin," Mandy said respectfully as a smile graced her lips.

"Hey, how was your day?" Nathan asked, as he rested his back on the sofa and rubbed his temple with his thumb–he was tired.

He had been busy with work for the past few days and seldom had the time to rest. His overwhelming thought every day was to make phone calls to Mandy as soon as he got back to the hotel.

"Everything is fine, but I ran into your cousin at the hospital today." Mandy smiled.

"What did he say?" Nathan asked as his tired eyes suddenly became alert.

"Nothing. I saw him this morning when I was making rounds across the wards," Mandy answered honestly. She hadn't talked much with him. Although Damian had invited her to dinner, she thought it was a mere formality and didn't pay attention to it.

"You'd better steer clear of him!" Nathan warned coldly. It suddenly occurred to Mandy that he had warned her in the same tone when they were in the corridor of the hospital as well.

A sudden shiver ran through her body. "Okay," she answered obediently.

"So... Do you miss me?" Nathan's face softened as he asked gently.
