Chapter 84 Did You Cry

At JS International

Damian knocked on the door of the CEO's office.

"Come in, please!" Nathan's solemn voice rang from inside.

"Why so serious, Nathan?" As Damian came into the office, he comfortably looked at Nathan as if he was a lifelong friend.

"In the office, call me Mr. Jin." Nathan didn't even raise his head, but he did frown at the tone Damian was using. From the looks of it, he was up to something.

"Okay then, Mr. Jin. Invite me to sit?" Damian said jokingly.

Nathan immediately stopped what he was doing and stood up. As much as he wanted to ignore his cousin, he knew that his cousin had his own agenda hidden up his sleeve. He walked over to the sofa.

Damian sat down across from him, looking like a puppy who had just won the race. Nathan smiled coldly. Damian had always loved to compete with him ever since they were kids, but it was to no avail. He wouldn't win.

"I came here today to talk with you about some personal affairs," Damian said with a wide smile.

"If that's the case, it's work hours. I don't have time for you," Nathan sneered in disgust. He had always hated Damian's poking into his personal life. He was just like Luke.

"My dear cousin, you're so cold. No wonder your woman's crying on the streets." Damian choked back a laugh, leaning into his seat. There was a wicked glint in his eyes, one that he always had whenever he had the upper hand against his cousin.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nathan growled out, ears perking up at the mention of a woman.

"I went out just now and saw her standing on the sidewalk crying. She was almost hit by a car if it weren't for me." He crossed his legs leisurely, but there was a sneer written all over his face. He glanced Nathan up and down, unimpressed by his reaction.

"I have a lot of women. Do specify," Nathan drawled out, but on the inside, he was already trying to keep his anger at bay. There was no way his cousin would pull one over him.

His thoughts fluttered towards Mandy. Was she o

.

Her eyes were swollen like two peanuts. It was as if she had just popped out from an animation, looking cute.

Nathan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Mandy picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it towards Nathan.

"What's so funny?" she demanded.

Nathan smiled, patting the empty space beside him.

Mandy sat down, pouting. Though she was feeling a bit better, she still hadn't gotten over what had happened with her mother. She didn't say anything. Instead, she just sat there with her arms around her legs, looking away from him. At that moment, Nathan couldn't help but pity her.

"What? Did you cry?" Nathan asked.

"No, I didn't." Mandy lowered her head in disappointment, avoiding his gaze.

"If you don't tell me, I'll find someone else to look into what happened."

"Wait!" Mandy grabbed his wrist. Knowing him, this investigation wouldn't be as kind-hearted as anyone would think it to be. She knew what he was capable of. She wouldn't dare lie.

Nathan squinted, pausing as if waiting for her to give him an explanation.

"Just this afternoon, my mom called me over when she found out I wasn't in the hospital. I told her before I was doing a research project...so when she knew, she was very angry because she knew I was lying and..." Mandy's rambling stopped. She felt like she had been wronged.
