Chapter 32 Find Me A Woman


    She feigned a smile and swam as far away from him as possible.


    He stared at her receding figure with his unblinking eyes. The waves danced but he didn''t stir. He was


    in a daze and not even tsunami could cate him.


    As soon as Essie was ashore, she began to look around for Mandy. Luckily, she didn''t have to search


    long. Mandy was caught sitting on the beach chair, with her head bowed down.


    "Mandy, you misunderstood. There is nothing going on between the two of us," Essie exined in a


    hurry.


    Mandy suddenly stood up from her chair, raised her hand and pped her across her face. Writhing


    with rage, she said, "You are the most despicable person, Essie. You pretended to help me whereas


    behind my back you were trying to seduce him! You cheating bitch. Why did you do this to me? Did you


    want to prove that you are better than me? All these years, I considered you my best friend. And look


    what you did to me!"


    In spite of the burning pain on her face, Essie grabbed Mandy''s shoulder and said, "Mandy, we have


    yed together since childhood. Don''t you know who I am? If I really wanted to be with him, I would

    have gone ahead and done it. Why on earth would I give you hope and pull you into this? No! This isn''t


    true. And about what happened earlier, he did it with an intention to piss you off. Guess what? It


    worked! You were stupid enough to fall for it."


    "Why did he want to piss me off?" Mandy asked in between her sobs. If he had done it just to anger her


    then it meant he hated her with a passion!


    Essie didn''t give a reply, instead she waited for her friend to calm down. Once she saw that she had


    calmed down, she took a deep breath. She picked up the fruit juice from the table and handed it over. "I


    am not sure why he is doing it. Perhaps he knows you have taken a liking to him. He is probably


    ying hard to get," Essie said in a soothing tone.


    Mandy opened the bottle of juice and took a sip. Still looking doubtful, she said, "Are you sure you don''t


    like him?"


    "Don''t you know who I like?" Giving Mandy a re, Essie dragged her to sit on the beach.


    The anger in Mandy''s heart almost died out. Yes, in the eyes of her bestie, Zac was a poor hobo. How


    could hepare with that rich and handsome Hanson?


    "What if he likes you?" Mandy asked, finally asking the question that was eating her alive.


    "Before I came here, I asked him this question. It turns out he doesn''t like me at all. It was silly of me to


    ask him such a question. I am not his type," she said with a shrug. Although Zac didn''t give her an


    answer, she took it for a no. That''s why it was believed that indecision was a decision within itself. His


    hesitancy meant he didn''t like her.


    "What! You asked him whether he likes you? How dare you!" Mandy poked her forehead, but she was


    in a much better mood. Knowing that Zac didn''t like Essie put her mind at ease.


    "You know what? It''s better if we live under the same roof. That will help us avoid misunderstandings."


    Essie smiled again. She hoped her friend would take the offer.


    Mandy was relieved. Yes, she agreed with her. If he indeed didn''t like Essie, it meant she stood a


    chance!


    After this, they apologized and made peace with each other. They didn''t realize that Zac was standing


    not far away from them and listening to the whole conversation. He was annoyed at Essie because she


    had lied!


    ''I never said I didn''t like her. How could she say such a thing!''


    Zac was quite disturbed.


    Although he was not an easy-going man, Essie was indeed the most pleasing girl to his eyes.


    Everything she did made him happy.


    Mandy had stayed in the apartment with them for a week, and Zac started to go crazy. Their happy


    days were over. In short, Mandy''s intrusion hadpletely cut off their normal rtionship.


    Essie seldom talked to him, and she spent most of her time in her studio, busily designing. She even


    avoided sitting close to him while having meals so as to avoid any physical contact. She didn''t want to


    leave any room for misunderstanding.


    It turned out she meant what she had said! Friendship held a lot of importance to her.


    He, her nominal husband, waspletely abandoned!


    ''No way! I have to use a stronger medicine!'' thought Zac! He wasn''t someone who would give up


    easily.


    Then he took out his phone and dialed William''s number. "Please find me a woman, it doesn''t matter


    what she does. The only quality I am looking for is love for money. She must, at any cost, love money


    more than men."
