Chapter 675 Work For Me

Nathan's eyes narrowed. Slowly, he glanced around and thought, 'Is this really the concert's effect? How come the atmosphere's like this? Why does it feel so depressing?'

"Nana," Mandy called out, worry evident in her voice. "You seem to have something on your mind." She carefully grabbed the microphone from Fiona's hand and looked at her with a scowling face.

Fiona let out a chuckle and looked away, seemingly flustered. After taking a deep breath, she shook her head and muttered, "No, I don't."

"You always frown when you have something on your mind," Mandy said, her eyes slowly narrowing.

"It's nothing," Fiona dismissed. "I think... I'm just very happy." A smile graced her lips, but it seemed bittersweet. "Mandy, what do you think love is? Friendship? Why do people's feelings for each other fade away?" Bit by bit, Fiona's face become contorted with bewilderment and frustration.

"I think love is just habit," Mandy said thoughtfully. "When two people are together, it is inevitable that they have all kinds of conflicts—big and small, internal and external. From time to time, they will feel tired. But then they choose to tolerate one another and stay together. Want to know why? Because people think they will never find another person who will love them as much as their current partner loves them. How terrible is that?" Her eyebrows were knitted. "As for friendships, I think that it also fated. But since you can't expect others to treat you the same way you treat them, you have to be very careful not to get cheated on," she concluded.

"I can live a life without love," Nathan butted in. "But I can never live without Mandy. If she doesn't love me, I don't care. I just need her to be around." He then took a sip of wine as a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Love had always been something strange for him. For example, everyone he knew told him to let go of Mandy, but he didn't. Instead, he waited for her, and now, he was reaping all the benefits of his decision.

Nathan's statement touched Mandy's heart, making an appreciative smile appear on her lips. Then, once their eyes met, the atmosphere in the room immediately became heated up.

"Love is about companionship," Ethon said, stating his own view on the subject. "Only time can prove how much you love people." He gently put down the glass of wine in his hand and slowly walked towards Fiona. Fiona, on the other hand, chuckled in a flirty manner when she saw what was happening.

Since she was already feeling tired, she

t on other people.

"I don't care," Nathan said nonchalantly. "If you really want to prove yourself to your family, come to work at my company." Nathan's smile was genuine and comforting. Ethon knew that he had made up his mind.

"Okay, then," Ethon responded, touched by Nathan's gesture. "Thank you." A smile of relief flashed across Ethon's lips. He chose not to work in his brother's company because he was afraid that Monica would only cause trouble for Colin. And since Colin had just managed to get along well with the Yu Family, Ethon definitely didn't want to stir up anything for him anytime soon.

What Fiona said was true: Ethon had sent his resume to almost all the companies in City A, but none of them dared interview him. He didn't even get a call confirming that they had received his application! It gravely disappointed Ethon, not because he could not get a job, but because he didn't expect his mother hated Fiona that much.

Right now, JS International was the only one that would give Ethon a chance. The opportunity Nathan gave him felt like a tree giving him shade from the scorching sun. Since the Jin Family was powerful, Monica would not be able to threaten Nathan that easily. Better, she might even feel the need to respect Nathan solely because of his influence.

But deep inside, Ethon was still hurting. 'Why is my mother forcing me to make this choice?

Why should I choose between my mother and the girl that I love?' he pondered.

"Well, let's not talk about that anymore," Mandy interrupted with a lighter tone. "Let's have dinner! The food is getting cold, and it's best eaten hot!" To everyone, her voice sounded like a lovely melody sent by God.
