Chapter 100 Please Don''t Ask Any More


    Mandy had lied to Nathan, hoping that he wouldn''t find out who Bruce was. She didn''t like Bruce, which


    was why she didn''t have any special feelings for him. For Mandy, Bruce was just a kind man whom she


    could trust like he was family. However, the rtionship between them seemed to have grown a little


    complicated.


    As she thought about this, she received a message on her phone. It was Bruce, and he was asking her


    if she had eaten dinner already.


    When she read his message, she sat up straight, suddenly remembering what Fiona had said to her


    earlier. She looked at her conversation history with Bruce. Almost every day at around five o''clock in


    the afternoon, Bruce would ask her if she had had dinner. On top of that, he would also message her


    ''good morning'' at the break of light, and ''good night'' before she went to sleep. Since Mandy was so


    busy at work, she hardly got the chance to read the messages. And when she was off duty, she


    couldn''t open his messages because Nathan was around.


    "Not yet. How about you?" Mandy replied out of politeness.


    "I''m eating right now," Bruce replied just secondster.


    Mandy hesitated for a while and then decided to text him back, "Okay, have your dinner first. I''ll talk to


    youter."

    With a sigh, she put down her phone and turned her attention to the piano. Her slender fingers glided


    along the keys. They were cool and smooth. It was obvious that this piano was cleaned every day and


    very well taken care of.


    Mandy was in a daze as she stared down at the ck and white keys. Once, there was a girl who


    woulde y with her. Sometimes Mandy would y and take the lead, and sometimes it would be


    the other girl.


    Now, with that girl gone, and Mandy felt that her music had lost its soul. No one else in the world could


    rece that connection they had. The girl was always on the same wavelength as she was. Without


    her, Mandy could do nothing but give up ying the piano.


    Gently, she pressed her finger on one of the keys, its soft note ringing crispy in the air. At that moment,


    Mandy felt so lonely in her heart.


    Shaking her head, she closed the lid and turned around. To her surprise, Nathan was there, leaning


    against the wall.


    The sight of him made Mandy jump a bit, and a wave of thoughts came rushing through her head.


    The sound of his leather shoes cking on the wooden floors came to an abrupt end. It turned out that


    Nathan hade to stand by her side.


    "Why don''t you y? Aren''t you any good?" he asked coldly as he looked down at Mandy.


    "Ah, no. I don''t like ying the piano. In fact, I hate it," she lied in a panic. At that moment, she was so


    nervous that her heart stopped for a second.


    Once, Nathan had asked Mandy what her hobbies were.


    "You can lie to me, but can you lie to yourself so easily?" Hearing this, Mandy became even more


    nervous.


    "I''m not lying to you. I hate the piano, and I hate music. Please don''t ever bring this up to me again,"


    Mandy said, feeling a bit faint. Talking about it was like opening up a scar that would never disappear.


    Even touching it the slightest bit, caused a great amount of pain in her heart.


    "Why not? Does it remind you of your previous lover?" There was a mocking tone in his sneer. Nathan


    stood there in front of Mandy, his expression hadn''t changed and his hands were crossed.


    "You''re talking nonsense! This has nothing to do with him."


    "Really? How did you know which one I meant?"


    "Nathan Jin, you''re going too far," Mandy said with a frown on her face. Her clear eyes projected a


    touch of anger as their conversation developed.


    "Feeling guilty?"


    Mandy turned around and looked at the closed piano lid. She stood up straight and said, "President Jin,


    do you live by the sea? Why do you have to poke your nose into just everything?"


    "If you wanted to live by the sea, just say it. My family owns several luxurious houses by the sea,"


    Nathan said.


    With a hint of excitement, Mandy nced at Nathan and said, "Wow! You''re so rich. I can''t believe you


    are showing off your prosperous family! Why are you making such a big deal of it if you''re so damn


    rich? Anyway, I''m going to have dinner now."


    Nathan just smiled and fixed his eyes on the piano. The garden house whiffed a mixture of different


    fragrances...


    After eating dinner, Mandy sat on the sofa and attended to her dissertation. She had just recently


    finished writing it and was now checking if it needed any revisions. Recently, Mandy was having


    difficulty concentrating because of Nathan. She needed to focus on her dissertation and had decided to


    ignore Nathan that night.


    Nathan was scrolling on his tablet. Nobody knew what he was currently up to.


    The phone suddenly rang. It was a WeChat message. Mandy had received a message from Bruce.


    She didn''t bother to reply and instead focused on herputer screen.


    "Why don''t you reply to the message?" Nathan asked mockingly. He was sneering andughing at


    himself.


    Mandy ignored him. But how could he know that she had received a message?


    While sittingfortably on the sofa, the smile on Nathan''s face deepened. "Have you eaten yet?"


    Mandy stopped typing and looked up. She looked straight into Nathan''s cold but beautiful eyes.


    In the light, Nathan''s thick eyshes formed a mysterious shadow on his face.


    Confused, Mandy''s eyes shed a hint of panic. How did Nathan know that she got a message from


    Bruce?


    While Nathan burst out in a strangeugh, Mandy was biting her lips nervously...


    "Well? Is something wrong?" Nathan''s cold voice was full of burning anger. It could almost burn a


    person to ashes!


    She closed theptop and tried to act calm. She took a peek at Nathan''s tablet and asked, "Did you


    open my WeChat?"


    But it was impossible, she reassured herself. Nathan had no idea what her WeChat password was.


    "I''m not bored enough to do that. It popped up because you forgot to log out when you signed in the


    other day." Nathan had the weirdest smile on his face, and the anger in his eyes became more


    apparent. His face looked like he had been so badly betrayed.


    "Okay." Mandy didn''t feel the need to exin. She simply responded carelessly. The alias for Bruce


    was Mr. Xu on her WeChat. She thought that should not cause Nathan to doubt anything.


    "Really?" Nathan''s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. His ferocious eyes looked so cruel and ferocious.


    It was then that Mandy realized that something terrible might have happened. She wondered if Nathan


    had seen her WeChat chat log.


    Mandy was so nervous that she blinked her eyes and touched her nose involuntarily. Mandy knew that


    whenever she did this, it usually meant that she had something to hide.


    "Are you having a love affair with you sister''s teacher, Mand?" Nathan asked as he looked straight at


    Mandy. He suddenly let out a cold sneer.


    Mr. Xu! His name was Bruce! Who else could it be?


    "No, it is not what you think. He is the ss supervisor of my sister." Knowing that Nathan was


    extremely angry at this point, Mandy reasoned it out with him in a great hurry.


    "Really? Will the ss supervisor of your sister add you on WeChat? Will your sister''s teacher send


    you a message every day, greeting you good morning and good night? Who does he think he is talking


    to?" The more Mandy talked, the angrier Nathan became. He wanted Mandy to stop exining. Maybe


    that would be better, he thought. As soon as Mandy finished exining, Nathan felt cheated on. Until


    now, she was cheating on him!
