The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1446

Desmond felt a little uncomfortable when he saw how furious Haniya was.

Was she looking forward to the blind date?

However, Desmond replied casually, "I have told you about it and passed you the photo. Also, everyone in Dark Night Empire saw it."

"Urgh! You're spouting nonsense again!"

On the other hand, Haniya had no recollection of that.

However, Desmond looked at Haniya seriously, and she suddenly became timid.

Did he really tell her about it?

She frowned and tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday. Haniya remembered that Desmond seemed to have said something to her before she fainted, but she didn't catch it. Thus, Haniya asked uncertainly, "Erm... did you say something to me after I completed the run?"

This time, Desmond didn't bother replying to her. Instead, he took out his phone and opened up a recorded message before handing it to Haniya.

"Go back and take a bath before getting a good sleep. By the way, Madam asked me to pass this to you. You will be meeting him at 7.30 a.m. tomorrow at Lanowe Cafe."

Desmond's voice was clear in the recording.

Suddenly, Haniya felt a little embarrassed.

Well, Desmond did tell her about it!

Oh, well. She could only blame herself because she didn't hear what he said before she fainted.

She did see Desmond's lips moving yesterday, but she couldn't make out what he had been saying.

Haniya quickly apologized.

However, Desmond snorted and grabbed his phone before leaving, which made Haniya very uncomfortable. Urgh! Couldn't he treat her a little better?

However, Haniya felt a little frustrated. Why did she sleep so soundly?

Was she that tired?

Haniya couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to waste any more time and ran straight to Mango's room.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was feeding Mango her medicine when Haniya came in without knocking on the door. Hence, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye."

"Have you forgotten how to knock on the door?"

Nathaniel frowned slightly and asked. If it weren't for Haniya's good relationship with Mango, he would have been furious.

However, It was unlike her to act so hastily.

On the other hand, when Mango saw Haniya standing there looking lost, she quickly drank up the medicine. She passed the bowl to Nathaniel and said in disgust, "Hurry up and leave. I need to talk to Haniya." Nathaniel frowned and glanced at her helplessly when he heard this.

"Are you tired of me?"

"What do you think? We've been married for so long, so what else do we have to talk about? You should leave now."

After saying that, Mango gave him a push.

Nathaniel was helpless as he shook his head and then pushed his wheelchair out.

Meanwhile, Haniya was a little hesitant.

"Madam, I'm sorry. It was my fault that I couldn't wake up in time and missed the blind date."

Haniya quickly apologized.

Mango saw that Haniya had a good complexion, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Have you been exhausted lately?"

"Not really. It's just that Desmond got me to train a few female students at Dark Night Empire's training base yesterday. I'm not sure what made him angry, but he made us run with weights. After the run, I fell asleep immediately, and I didn't expect to wake up at this hour."

Haniya felt bad about what she had reported. However, she did not tell Mango that Desmond made her run 6 miles with weights. After all, she was afraid that Mango would blame Desmond, so she was subconsciously trying to protect him.

"Madam, Desmond thought it was improper for him to train the female students. That's why he got me to train them instead."

If Haniya hadn't said these words, Mango would have thought that the situation was normal. However, she felt like laughing after hearing this.

After all, Mango knew what happened yesterday as Ned came back and reported to her exaggeratedly what he saw. After Haniya fainted, everyone saw Desmond carrying her to her room. Therefore, Haniya was the only one who did not know about this.

Since there were female students at Dark Night Empire, and Mango already had a nutritionist by her side, it didn't matter if Haniya stayed with her. Moreover, Desmond had already brought Haniya to Dark Night Empire to train the female students. Hence, it seemed like he wanted to keep her close to him.

Well, Mango was willing to let Haniya go, but she also needed Desmond to request it.

Well, well. He could have said so if he didn't want Haniya to go on the blind date. He didn't have to tire her out so that she would miss the time. Haha! Only a man as indifferent as Desmond would do such a thing.

Furthermore, Mango knew what made Haniya sleep so soundly.

After all, Desmond had put essential oil into Haniya's bath. Although it relieved her fatigue, it also promoted sleep. So, it was natural for Haniya to fall into a deep sleep.

But Mango didn't want to tell Haniya about this.

She wanted to see how long it would take before Desmond confessed his feelings for Haniya.

Desmond was inexpressive, while Haniya was too timid and had low self-esteem. If neither of them took the first step forward, there would never be any progress.

However, Mango didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Oh, well. We can't do anything since you've missed it. Don't worry, I still have other elite candidates for you. Have a good rest today, and I'll set you up for another blind date tomorrow."

When Haniya saw that Mango was not angry at her but was very enthusiastic about this, she felt terrible.

Mango was someone with a reputation!

The man whom Mango introduced must be of certain status. Hence, Haniya might have ruined Mango's reputation because she had missed the blind date.

Haniya felt guilty at the thought of this, so she could only nod.

"Alright. I'll make sure that I don't oversleep this time."

"Sure. Go and get some rest. There is nothing much to do these days. If you have the time, you can help Desmond out with the recruits at Dark Night Empire. In a few days after Merle arrives, he might need to rearrange the team, so things might get busy then. As you know, it's not convenient for me to move around nowadays, so please help me manage Dark Night Empire with Desmond well. I've also heard that you are now skilled enough to be an instructor, so I will consider this matter."

Mango told Haniya this in advance so that she would be able to accept this arrangement when the time came.

Then, Haniya paused for a moment before nodding.

After leaving Mango's room, Haniya felt that she didn't perform well the past few days. So she wanted to take a stroll, but she bumped into Desmond again.

When she recalled how she misunderstood that Desmond didn't inform her about the blind date, she quickly approached him.

"Desmond..."

Before she could continue her sentence, Desmond directly walked past her as if he didn't see her.

Ilrgh! What a petty man!

She didn't do it on purpose!

Haniya suddenly felt awful.

She felt a bit suffocated at home, so she grabbed her car keys and planned to go out for a walk or shopping to feel better.

Moreover, she needed a nice dress for the blind date that was happening the day after tomorrow.

At this thought, Haniya went to the mall.

The mall was crowded right now.

Haniya walked around the mall and thought about the people Mango would introduce to her. She was sure that they had to be of certain status like Mango. Therefore, Haniya could ruin Mango's reputation if she wore something from a local store. Thus, she made up her mind to go to a branded store.

Her salary was relatively high, and she didn't spend much on anything, so she could probably afford a decent dress.

With this reasoning, Haniya didn't feel so bad about buying an expensive dress.

There were quite a few people in the store, but Haniya looked around and found a lot of nice clothes. But the moment she saw the price tags, she was taken aback.

One dress cost about 3,000 dollars! That was daylight robbery to her!

As Haniya was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice.

She frowned slightly, and when she turned around, she saw Victoria quarreling with a rich- looking lady.

Victoria, who was Marissa's mother, left Ocean City after she offended Mango and Nathaniel. So, why did she appear in Ocean City again?

Furthermore, it seemed that Victoria was being bullied.

Haniya hesitated for a moment when she saw

this.

After all, Victoria had always disliked her because Haniya liked Desmond. If she walked over now, Victoria would probably be furious.

Haniya then decided to leave, but Victoria saw her and shouted.

"Haniya!"

Now, it was almost impossible for Haniya to leave.

Well, Desmond had promised to take good care of Victoria and Jose as that was Marissa's last wish. Thus, when she thought about Desmond's love for Marissa, Haniya could not bear to leave.

Oh, well. She would think of this as doing a favour to Desmond.

She convinced herself by saying this and then walked towards Victoria.

"What's wrong?"

She said as she didn't know how to address Victoria. They had an awful dispute previously, so Haniya didn't know how to deal with her.

On the other hand, Victoria frowned as Haniya did not address her. However, because she had to ask Haniya for help, she suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Do you have money? I want to buy this dress, but I didn't bring enough money."

The lady she was quarrelling with said immediately, "Urgh! If you don't have enough money, don't get in my way. Someone like you who can't afford to wear branded clothing shouldn't be fighting with me for this dress."

Victoria and the lady each held one end of the dress, and both of them were unwilling to let go of it. The store assistant said anxiously, "Madams, please be gentle with this dress. The material is very delicate. It it's torn, who will pay for it?"

"Ask her to let go first!"

The two of them spoke in unison.

Haniya could see that Victoria was determined to buy the dress today. If she did not pay for it, they would probably tear the fabric, and things would get even more complicated then.

After all, Desmond went to the island for the special training, and he was finally able to forget about the Fang family affairs during this time. Hence, she did not want Desmond to suffer again because of a dress.

"How much is it? I'll pay for it."

Haniya spoke.

Victoria immediately said with arrogance, "Do you see that? My daughter-in-law is rich. Let go of that dress!"

Haniya was stunned upon hearing Victoria calling her daughter-in-law. She didn't know how to respond and simply took out her card and said to the shop assistant, "Take my card."

"Alright, Madam. It's a total of 15 thousand dollars."

As soon as she said this, Haniya was stunned.

15 thousand dollars for a piece of clothing?

Wasn't this daylight robbery?

Haniya grabbed her card tightly suddenly.

This dress cost fifteen thousand dollars!

She only had fifteen thousand dollars on her card. If she paid for Victoria's dress, she wouldn't be able to buy anything for herself.

At this moment, Victoria pushed her and said anxiously, "Hurry up and pay the bill! Desmond has spent all his money on you. What's wrong? You're only buying me one dress, so why are you reluctant to do

SO?"
