Meeting You Was Fate

"Naughty girl. You can't even recognize my voice. Where is your sister-in-law? Is she back yet? I called her, but her phone is off." Nathan was serious. He pursed his lips as discontent clouded his face. His body was visibly tense.

"What? How would I know? I'm very sleepy right now. Can we discuss this tomorrow?" Nacy was only half-awake.

"Nacy, I am giving you three seconds. Get up right now and check if your sister-in-law is in her room!" His face was angry and hard. Nathan's usually magnetic voice was now rough.

Even though she was only talking to him on the phone, Nacy could feel the anger reverberating from Nathan. Still groggy, she got up and went to check on Mandy.

Nacy rubbed her eyes and ran to check the bathroom and the dressing room. There was no sign of Mandy.

What happened? Where was Mandy? Nacy knew that Adrian had gone to visit his grandparents. Did Mandy decide to go with him after work? She hadn't seen Mandy at all. She had been too exhausted when she finally got home. She had taken a quick shower and went straight to bed.

It is already eleven o'clock at night. Why hasn't Mandy come back home yet?'

Nacy felt a little nauseous. "Brother, are you still there?" she asked.

"Yes, I am," Nathan responded, his voice stony and cold.
