Chapter 28 A Terrible Swimsuit

Was this a swimsuit or mummy wrappings?

She stared at the swimsuit. In fact, it looked as if it belonged to a scuba diver. The only thing it was
missing were the webbed sandals.

As a fashion designer who had seen multiple fashion statements, it was the first time for her to see
such a conservative design!

"It fits you." A smile slid onto his face. Given that he had seen her before, Zac knew all her sizes like
the back of his hand.

She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to wear it. Not only is it ugly as hell, but it's insulting for you to
think that I'll wear it!"

'He seems to be a man of good taste, so what the hell was running in his mind when he picked out this
swimsuit?'

Zac shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We can always sit on the balcony and watch the sunset today." It
seemed that not only would he refuse to go with her, but he also wouldn't allow her to go with Mandy!

Essie glared at the sky. For the sake of her money and Mandy, it seemed that she had to make the
ultimate sacrifice.

The beach in the West was beautiful and quiet. The silver sand powdered across the ground as the
cold wind brushed the waters. Being far away from the hustle and bustle of the city crowd, the air was
fresh and peaceful.

Essie gritted her teeth as she mustered up all the courage she had to walk out of the fitting room.

Mandy burst into laughter. "What the hell are you wearing?"



"A traditional-inspired swimsuit?" she said weakly before casting a stern glance at the culprit.

Zac smiled silently. Well, he did win the bet either way. How could his wife be exposed to other men.

Mandy's swimsuit highlighted her tanned curves, and it had attracted the men's attention as soon as
she walked out of the fitting room.

She ignored all of their lustful gazes and approached Zac.

It was said that many people who went to the beach were promiscuous people looking to let off some
steam.

Although Zac wore sunglasses and was properly hidden under the shade, his incomparable elegance
overshadowed the beautiful scenery. He attracted plenty of attention from different crowds.

Essie couldn't swim, so she had to wait by the roadside stall to get a floater for herself. Once she got
one, she waved at them.

"I'm going to have some fun in the waters okay," she said happily. Since Essie didn't want to be the
third wheel, she hurriedly grabbed her floater into the sea to give them an opportunity to be alone.

It was already summer, and the ocean was warm from the sun's scorching heat. She raised her long
legs and clicked along the waves. Soon enough, she had gotten farther and farther from the coastline.

Zac frowned. She couldn't swim, so why was she going farther away from the coast?

Mandy didn't mind as she stared at him with loving eyes. "How about let's take a walk on the beach?"
she flirted.

"Go by yourself." Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were fixated on Essie.

A wave surged in the center, tearing across the waters. It splashed across the shoreline heavily.



Essie was lying on her stomach, enjoying the sunshine. She was too busy relaxing to see the waves
that were approaching.

For a person who didn't know how to swim, a strong wave could be fatal.

"Shit!" Zac cursed. Taking off his sunglasses, he rushed towards the sea.

The waves came crashing on Essie's back, knocking her over. Before she could reach out for her
floater, she found herself being pushed deeper into the waters.

She panicked, waving her hands up in the air and kicking her feet in the waters. She tried her best to
float upwards, but she could already feel the currents dragging her deeper. She wanted to call for help,
but as soon as she opened her mouth, seawater entered down her throat.

She choked and coughed. Before she could sink into its depths, a strong arm reached for her and
pulled her out of the seas.

"Fuck!" she choked out, coughing violently. Zac patted her on the back gently as she coughed out the
seawater.

Mandy rushed towards her and handed her a bottle of water to rinse her mouth. "Are you okay?" she
asked worriedly. "You scared me to death Essie."

"I just drank some seawater." Essie managed a sheepish smile.

"I can't believe you. You were holding a floater, and you still drowned." She sighed.

When Essie felt much better, she lay down on the beach chair and took a sip of water. "It was just an
accident," she explained. "I didn't notice the waves coming. If I did, I would've grabbed the floater."

"From now on, you're not allowed to go into the waters alone," Zac ordered.



"Of course not. To hell will I give you a chance to perform CPR," Essie snapped, pretending to be
insulted. When in reality, she was actually touched by his words.

Zac rolled his eyes. Affection was evident in his movements.

Mandy glanced at the two of them, not knowing what they were talking about. However, the word 'CPR'
made her eyes light up.

Maybe then she could create a moment for her and her prince charming.
