Chapter 1160

In The Dark

His formerly exposed flat stomach, which she had mocked, was now concealed beneath snug pajamas. A chuckle escaped Mandy involuntarily, but she restrained herself from teasing him again. Clearing her throat, she spoke, “Here’s the thing. I’m Lucy’s friend. I couldn’t reach her on the phone, so I took a cab here. Where is she?”

Colin pursed his lips. “She’s not home.”

“Oh.” Mandy sidestepped Colin and entered the house, settling herself on the sofa and picking up a glass of water boldly. “Any idea when she’ll be back?”

Colin was flabbergasted. Why is this woman making herself right at home? She strolled into my home brazenly, settled comfortably on my sofa, and even drank from my glass… Hold on! Colin stared at the glass in Mandy’s hand. It was the same glass he had just drank from…

Before Colin could stop her, Mandy had already finished the water in the glass. She smiled and extended the empty glass towards him. “Could you pour me another glass?”

Colin was dumbfounded and taken aback by the impudent woman! He didn’t understand what had come over him, but he found himself pouring her another glass of water and handing it to her.
