Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 30 Lying To Me!

When they went back to their seats, Mandy took off her sunglasses and summoned all of her courage

to invite her dream lover. "Zac, how about we take a swim?" she suggested.

"I'm playing the Fight Against Landlords. Go on your own," Zac said, without even looking up at her. He

was too focused on the phone.

Mandy had already been refused for so many times, so she had gotten used to it. She secretly pinched

Essie a few times on the waist, as if asking her to instigate the entire thing.

Essie groaned in her heart. After what had happened, she didn't want to go into the waters again.

However, she knew that if she didn't go, Zac wouldn't bother going either.

She didn't expect that she would risk her life trying to play matchmaker.

Sighing, she stretched her hand over the screen of the phone. "We can play at home. We don't get to

go to the beach every day, you know. Why don't we enjoy ourselves?"

Zac narrowed his eyes. "You want to go? Are you deaf?" She wanted to go alone?

Essie frowned. "I remember everything that you've said, so obviously, I wouldn't go alone. That's why I

want you to go with me." Her eyelashes fluttered.

His eyes gleamed with affection as he picked up the floater on the table. Without another word, he

placed it over her head. "Follow me then. Don't run around," he advised.

Essie smiled and gave Mandy the OK signal.

Mandy smiled stiffly. Instead of gratitude, she couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. Although he was

cold towards her, he was an absolute gentleman when he faced Essie. Even if he was a ruthless man, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

he was warm towards her best friend.

That wasn't a good sign.

Zac took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles.

"Wow, you have a great figure!"

"He's so handsome!"

"Prince charming, shall we meet in the dressing room at the back?"

Soon enough, they were being crowded by different women. In fact, those women were excited that

they were practically salivating in front of him.

Seeing that he was headed towards the water, everyone stood up and rushed towards the sea.

Obviously, all of them wanted an up-close sight of the man.

Holding her forehead, Essie closed her eyes.

She patted Mandy's shoulder sympathetically. "It's obvious you have competition. You should keep an

eye on your prince charming," she teased.

"Please, they're all ugly," Mandy snorted before gazing at Essie thoughtfully. Truth be told, she actually

found her friend to be the most threatening.

Since Zac was a germaphobe, he took her to the middle of the sea where there weren't any people

crowding around them. Mandy had no choice but to follow.

Every time Essie tried to swim one meter further to give the two a chance to talk, Zac would pull her

right back. He gazed at her sharply.

"Stay next to me. I'll take you wherever you want to go," he ordered.

"Okay." Essie made a face. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to escape from him.

While they were talking, Mandy removed the air valve in her swimming ring.

Soon, she pretended to be scared and screamed. Mandy swam towards him, placing her arms around

Zac's neck. "My swimming ring is broken. What am I going to do?" she shrieked.

She pretended to tremble at the sight of the waters as she pressed her whole body against the man.

The moment her skin rubbed against his, he pushed her away.

Taking a deep breath, Essie knew what Mandy was up to. Although Essie knew that Mandy could

swim, she couldn't just sit there and watch him pushing her mercilessly.

She clenched her fists. "What the hell are you doing?" she demanded. "Mandy couldn't swim. Go and

save her!"

Zac's eyes flashed. He already knew that Mandy was pretending. In fact, he had seen her remove the

air valve from her swimming ring. Even then, Essie continued to act with her. What did she take him

for?

He suppressed his anger deep in his heart as he sighed.
