Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 76 Mandy Goes On A Blind Date

"Hello, Bruce!" Mandy answered gently as soon as she recognized Bruce's voice.

"Are you busy, Mandy?" Bruce had been checking the exam papers of his students the whole day. Fiona got a hundred percent in mathematics.

"No, I'm not busy. What's up?" Mandy answered as she looked at herself in the mirror, smiling. She burst into a silvery laughter when she saw the "freckles" all over her face.

It was the first time that Mandy had intentionally put on displeasing make-up. Upon seeing her make-up on the mirror, she was shocked to think that this make-up style really worked for women.

"I called to tell you that Nana improved a lot this semester. She's got a full mark in mathematics and also got good grades in her other courses," Bruce said.

"Really? That's amazing!" Mandy said with a big smile on her face.

"I know she is a hardworking and strong-willed student," Bruce proudly said.

"Did you just checked exam papers the whole day?" Mandy asked.

"Yes, that's right. I'm so tired, my head is killing me right now," Bruce complained.

"Mr. Xu, go back to your room and rest. I have something to deal with. Let's talk on WeChat when we're free," Mandy said over the phone as she checked the time. It was almost time for her scheduled blind date.

"Okay," Bruce said lightly. Then he waited for Mandy to hang up first because he didn't want Mandy to hear the sound of the phone's beep.

He knew that the beeping sound on the phone could make Mandy disappointed.

At Starbucks

There weren't many people at Starbucks during mealtimes. The moment Mandy entered, she saw a man in a white t-shirt quietly sitting next to the window. He looked like he was waiting for someone.

Mandy wasn't sure if the man in the white t-shirt was Mr. Lin. She thought she should have looked at his photo in advance. Mandy slowly walked up to the man and stood there in front of him.

"Are you Mr. Lin?" Mandy asked in a shy manner. Mandy wore red glasses. Her face was covered with "freckles," and her skin was black and white. Her make-up, at the moment, looked very weird.

Justin, on the other hand, was a very handsome man. He had thin eyebrows, full lips, and deep eyes. His face was perfectly carved, accentuating his white and smooth skin. Mandy found Justin extremely good looking!

Justin was shocked when he saw the girl in front of him. However, upon taking a better look, he knew that the girl in front of him was none other than Mandy. How come she looked completely different in her photos?

"Are you Miss Zhou? Please have a seat!" Justin said courteously, forcing himself to calm down.

Mandy sat down, completely uncomfortable with her new make-up style. After she put her bag down, she crossed her legs and rudely asked, "What's your name?"

"Justin Lin," Justine replied with a gentle and polite smile.

"Oh," Mandy coldly said. At the moment, she was mimicking Nathan's voice and gestures.

'This man should hate me the way I hated Nathan!' she thought to herself.

As her eyes met his, she was a little shocked. Soon enough, his stare subdued her. In an instant, the sense of loss disappeared in her.

"I ordered you a cup of cappuccino," Justin said. He placed the cup in front of Mandy, who was now looking very graceful.

"I don't like cappuccino. Too bitter for my taste," Mandy said with a frown. She was choosy when it came to what she liked to drink.

"What would you like, Miss Zhou? Just tell me. My treat!" Justin offered. There were no trace of impatience that could be seen on his meek smile.

"No, thanks. Cappuccino's fine, I guess. I'm not a picky girl," Mandy said, taking a sip from the cup of cappuccino.

Hearing what Mandy had said made Justin stare at her and contemplate about their date. He was attracted to Mandy's unruly personality, thinking that she was a very interesting woman. Although her make-up made her look ugly, he thought that they didn't necessarily have to be lovers. Of course, they could just be friends.

"Do you have any hobbies, Miss Zhou?" Justin asked her.

"I don't have any hobbies. I only love money, jewelry, and accessories!" Mandy immediately answered as her beautiful apricot eyes flicked. Before arriving at their blind date, she had been mentally prepared. She knew that when a man goes on a blind date, they always like to talk about hobbies, music, and other stuff.

Justin sipped from his cup of coffee. Afterwards, he put the cup down and beamed at Mandy from ear to ear.

For a moment, Daniel's handsome face flashed in Mandy's thoughts. She remembered that Daniel loved playing basketball when he was a high school student. Back then, Mandy often watched him play on the playground. The scene of youth and sunshine deeply marked Mandy's mind.

"You don't hesitate, do you? You're so straightforward, Miss Zhou!" Justin said, laughing. He was starting to like Mandy's character.

Justin also came to their blind date prepared. He knew that she was good at playing the piano. He also came across photos of Mandy on the Internet. She looked simple and innocent in those photos. Unlike in their date, she looked quite young and pretty, and she didn't even wear glasses at all.

"Of course, I am!" Mandy boasted. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Tell me, Miss Zhou. Are you really nearsighted?" Justin asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, a little. I've seen too many men. I've seen so many men already that my eyesight started to worsen! To be honest, I have had eight boyfriends over the past few years," Mandy replied while holding up eight fingers and flaring an exaggerated facial expression at Justin.

At that moment, Justin finally realized that Mandy must have come on this blind date unwillingly. The reason she was behaving so rudely and awkwardly was that she wanted to sabotage the blind date so that he'd get turned off by her.

He knew that her bad make-up style was put on intentionally.

While Mandy was distracted with something else, Justin swiftly took her glasses off and wiped her face with a tissue.

Before she could react, the make-up on the left side of her face had already been wiped clean.

"What are you doing?!" Mandy shouted as she slapped away Justin's hand. She tried to hide the anger on her face. She stood up, attracting attention towards them.

"You like to play, don't you?" Justin jokingly said. He closed his lips and tapped his long fingers twice on the table. At that very moment, Justin's dark eyes showed no emotion at all.
