Chapter 229: Beautiful Nancy


    "Can you be a bit patient? I''ming down right now" Nancy said to David who was on the phone on speaker. She was trying her best to be fast about wearing her shoes unfortunately, the shoes will end up slowing her down anyway.


    "I told you to be ready by 9 pm Nancy, it''s almost 9:30 now," David said calmly. Nancy felt even more pressured because he sounded calm. It would have been better if he was upset because she could take her time out of spite but he did not even raise his voice.


    "That''s why I told you toe up," Nancy said as she rolled her eyes in frustration. David did not go upstairs mainly because he wanted her to hurry. If he wasfortably sitting in her apartment as he waited she would not bother rushing at all. Him being outside meant that he was being inconvenienced so she would try to be quick with what she was doing.


    "We don''t have the time. I''m supposed to be at the venue before Lucas in the first ce. He is probably on his way already" David said as if he was talking about the weather. Nancy was not good with dealing with pressure so she was not as efficient as she would normally be.


    "I''ll be down in a few minutes. I''ll see you then" Nancy said feeling slightly annoyed. David smiled when he heard her response. He couldn''t help but wonder whether he had gone overboard with everything.


    Nancy quickly picked up the things that she needed and put it in her clutch before she left her apartment. Leanna had gone missing since that afternoon so she had just left her a message telling her that she was going to go to a party with David that evening before she left.


    When she arrived at the parking lot, she immediately noticed David who was standing outside his car. She managed to control herself and she took her time to walk towards him because of the heels she was wearing. She was guaranteed to trip if she ran to him.


    David was leaning against his car as he waited for Nancy toe down. He figured that she was probably facing enough pressure already. He managed to spot her the moment she arrived at the parking lot. The silver dress definitely stood out and she drew attention to herself even though it was involuntary.


    David was on the phone with Michael who had gone to the venue before him to see how everything was proceeding and was currently on the phone with him. When he saw Nancy he suddenly grew quiet in the middle of the instructions he was giving Michael.


    "David?" Michael called taking him out of his reverie.


    "Mmh, just work on what I have instructed you so far, Let me know if anything happens," David said and cut the call immediately without waiting for Michael''s reaction.


    The only thought that was running through his mind was that Nancy looked beautiful, and even though it did not show physically, he was extremely nervous considering that they hadn''t seen each other since Lucas'' birthday.


    "Hi," Nancy said when she arrived in front of him but did not receive an answer as she anticipated. David was thoroughly captivated by her and had forgotten to respond to her greeting.


    "Are you alright?" Nancy asked, snapping him out of his thoughts. She became worried when he did not respond to her greeting.


    "You look beautiful," David said and boldly took her hand. Nancy''s face immediately flushed with shyness even though it was hard to see since it was already so dark.


    "Ahem, thank you" Nancy responded to hispliment after clearing her throat. She could feel her face grow hotter from shyness and for once was d that it was dark.


    David looked at her for a bit too long making her feel embarrassed for some reason but she did not make any move to pull away from him. David finally realised how ufortable she might be feeling from his relentless staring before he led her to the other side of the car. He opened the car door for her and she courteously tanked him before getting into the car.


    David went to the other side of the car and got inside himself. Even though they had been talking for some time, they had not gotten the chance to meet so being in each other''s presence made them feel both nervous and excited at the same time.


    "Should we go now?"David asked nervously as he turned on the car. Nancy was tempted to ask if he wouldn''t go if she said no but she did not have the courage to do so.


    "Mmh, let''s go. We might actually bete" Nancy said as she fastened her seatbelt.
