Chapter 116 - Jealous Of The Same Person (1/2)
On the other side of Macau, Sean was meeting with Natalie for the day.
Macau was a city with two very distinct sides: the Cotai Strip where all the majority of the casinos were located, and the Old City where all the historical sites could be found.
Sean arrived at a beautiful open plaza in the middle of the UNESCO historic center. The plaza was called Senado Square. Although it was called a square, it was shaped more like a triangle with a big round fountain in the middle. Lining the two sides of the square were colorful colonial buildings that seemed to funnel everyone into a much tighter street filled with snacks and souvenir stores.
Sean had arranged to meet Natalie in front of the fountain in the square. As he stood there on top of the wave-like pavement waiting for the woman to arrive, he suddenly felt a little excited. He had been talking to Natalie almost every day since they saw each other in Hong Kong, but he had only heard her voice and never seen her face. How had she been? Did she look any different?
He began to walk around the edge of the fountain nervously.
At that moment, his vision suddenly turned dark as a pair of soft hands covered his eyes. ”Guess who?” a familiar voice giggled from behind.
Sean grabbed onto the woman's hands and laughed. ”You're late,” he said.
Natalie frowned and pointed to the traffic on the road that ran alongside the square. ”I had to get out of the taxi and walk here because the traffic wasn't moving.”
Sean looked at the woman and smiled. ”I'm so happy to see you,” he said with sincerity.
Natalie looked into the man's eyes and felt her heart race.
After thinking it over for the last few weeks, she was certain that she had feelings for this man now, but had he realized yet. After all, she talked to him every single day on the phone and often slipped in words of praise. Wasn't it obvious?
But then again, she remembered seeing him having dinner with Halia the night before. Was he only talking to her because he wanted to get close to Halia?
At that moment, Natalie realized Sean was still holding onto her hands, so she blushed a little as she pulled them away. Sean cleared his throat awkwardly and also blushed.
