The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1454

Haniya's heart suddenly jumped to her throat when she saw this.

Why did Desmond keep appearing out of nowhere today?!

Perhaps it was because Haniya was hiding something from him, but she was worried that he would hear something, so she was always on guard.

On the other hand, Desmond glanced at Haniya and sensed that she was on her guard, so he felt annoyed.

Was she being wary of him?

Since when did start to be on guard against him?

Did she seriously plan to meet other men, so she was keeping a distance from him?

Desmond felt upset at the thought of this.

"This dress is for you. Aren't you going on a blind date? You need to look presentable."

After that, Desmond threw the dress at her, and it covered Haniya's face. He didn't care if this would humiliate Haniya in front of her subordinates, but he was unhappy now.

"Ah!"

Haniya's vision was covered by the dress. She then shouted and clumsily took the dress off her head. By the time she could see again, there was no trace of Desmond.

How could he keep appearing and disappearing out of nowhere?!

Haniya was a little frustrated when she thought about this.

Meanwhile, Brenda and the other three looked at each other without saying anything, but Brenda looked unhappy.

That was the latest dress from Chanel. Well, putting the price aside, there were only 300 pieces available. Hence, they were sold out when they got into the market, and no one would even order it on time! Surprisingly, Desmond bought one for Haniya and casually gave it to her.

Hah! Brenda would never believe that Desmond was not interested in Haniya now.

On the other hand, Haniya frowned as she looked at the dress in her hand before sighing.

This dress was beautiful, but she wasn't going on a blind date. After all, she was only going to see Victoria, so was it necessary to dress so well?

Thinking of this, Haniya put the dress away and whispered, "The mission this afternoon is highly confidential. We will have lunch here at noon, so go and get ready. It's best to wear sportswear." After that, Haniya took the dress and went back to her room.

Brenda's eyes filled with jealously, but her other subordinates dragged her away immediately.

After returning to her room, Haniya checked the dress in front of the mirror. It was indeed very pretty.

She didn't know much about luxury brands as she always went for comfortable clothes. Besides, she couldn't afford expensive clothes, so a dress that cost 20 or 30 dollars from a street stall was considered expensive to her. She could tell that this dress was made of good material. At this thought, Haniya felt blissful as she smiled, but her happiness lasted for only a while before her expression darkened.

Desmond only gave her the dress because she told him she was going on a blind date earlier. Did this mean that he didn't have any feelings for her? After all, no man would dress up his beloved woman for a blind date with other men. Furthermore, they wouldn't give the person they loved a dress! With that thought, Haniya became upset. The dress in her hand was no longer beautiful to her.

So was this what Desmond wanted to tell her?

What was she expecting?

Haniya sat on the bed in despair as she thought about this, and she felt miserable.

On the other hand, Desmond came to Ned's room and walked in after knocking on the door.

"Hey? Desmond? What can I do for you?"

Ned was busy dealing with something, and he was very occupied.

Ned was Nathaniel's assistant, so he would have to deal with the company affairs with the vice presidents when the latter was away. Now that Nathaniel had returned, Ned thought he could relax a little. However, when Mango became pregnant, Nathaniel completely ignored the company's matters.

Hence, Ned was extremely busy now.

However, Desmond came to him and knocked on the table. This forced Ned to stop what he was doing, so he turned and looked at Desmon instead. "Urgh! What is it?"

"Do you have any information about the man who is going on the blind date with Haniya this afternoon?"

Ned was taken aback by Desmond's words.

"This afternoon? Isn't the blind date tomorrow

morning?"

Desmond's eyes narrowed when she heard this.

Haniya clearly said that it was in the afternoon. Could it be that she changed the appointment time because she couldn't wait?

At this thought, Desmond's eyes darkened again.

"Do you have his information or not?"

"Of course I do! I have to deal with all these things now. How would I be able to do so without any information?"

As Ned was talking, he found the man's information.

"Well, this is him. He has a stable job and is goodlooking. He's a doctor, so he should have a common topic with Haniya."

Ned told Desmond everything he knew.

Desmond squinted his eyes upon hearing this. Then, he turned around and left.

"Hey, why are you taking the files? What's going on with you and Haniya? Are you not interested in her? Let me tell you, Desmond. If Haniya succeeds in this blind date, she'll have nothing to do with you anymore. If you don't cherish a nice woman like her, you can only regret after this."

As Ned rambled on, Desmond slammed the door and ignore his words.

Did he not know that Haniya was a nice lady?

Ned was also single, so who was he to give Desmond advice?

Desmond grumbled in his heart. He then looked at the information in his hand and felt depressed.

This man looked like a good candidate.

He was so good that he felt it was an eyesore.

After that Desmond then returned to Dark Night Empire's headquarters. He immediately gathered a few men and gave them the man's information before saying, "I don't care what method you use. This person must stay busy in the hospital this afternoon so he can't leave. Can you do it?"

His men were stunned when they heard his orders.

"Captain, is this a task?"

"This is a test for you. If you pass this test, I will promote you to the official Dark Night Empire team tomorrow."

The moment Desmond said those words, his men immediately nodded.

"Captain, rest assured. We will make sure he can't leave the hospital for three days."

It wasn't hard to make a doctor busy.

All they needed to do was to find someone to pretend to be a patient and get a consultation from this doctor. If that didn't work, they could get some critically ill patients to look for this doctor and put some pressure on the department head to ensure the completion of the task.

The men then rushed out.

On the other hand, Desmond leaned on the office chair and closed his eyes as a smile started spreading across his lips.

Was Haniya going on a blind date?

Alright!

Desmond had never been on a blind date before, so maybe it was time to experience one, right?

Well, if the person he was meeting was Haniya, he would feel great about it.

Furthermore, the dress he bought would look pretty on Haniya.

At this thought, Desmond quickly took out his mobile phone and called Ned.

"What is it now? Dude, I'm busy now."

When Ned saw that it was Desmond's call, he felt annoyed.

Desmond asked casually, "What would a man usually do when he is interested in his blind date candidate?" "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Ned was confused as he did not understand Desmond's question.

"Are you kidding me? Desmond, even if you don't like Haniya, can you not mess with her blind date? If she likes him, they could watch a movie and have some meals or go shopping. Are you going to arrange that for her too? Why are you treating her like this? You don't like her, and yet you interfere in her blind date like you're her father. You don't have to do that, do you? Desmond, there's no right or wrong in a relationship. If you don't like her, just let her live her life. As for whether Haniya can stop loving you, that's her business. You don't want to accept her feelings, but you want to be nice to her and help her plan out her future. Hah! You can't do that if you don't like her!"

Desmond directly hung up the phone as Ned continued nagging.

He only caught a few words that Ned had said.

After seeing each other on the blind date, they would have dinner and watch a movie or go shopping?

Well, although it sounded a little boring, he would try his best for Haniya.

Hence, Desmond decided to go online to check the latest movies. There were only comedies and horror movies in the cinemas right now.

So which one should he choose?

Desmond was troubled.

Thus, he picked up the phone and called Haniya again.

Haniya was still miserable when she heard her phone ring. When she saw that it was Desmond's call, she didn't want to answer it at this time.

But since he gave her a dress for her blind date, it would be rude if she didn't answer his call.

Therefore, Haniya took a deep breath and then answered the call.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you something. Usually, when girls like you watch movies, will you generally choose to watch a comedy or a horror movie? Haniya was stunned when she heard Desmond's question.

When did he start to pay attention to something as trifle as what movie girls liked to watch?

"Did you meet a girl?"

"Sort of."

Desmond answered ambiguously.

Haniya felt her heart was being stabbed when she heard this reply.

When did this happen?!

She didn't know anything about it!

However, she continued asking while hiding how hurt she felt, "Why did you give me the dress?"

"Aren't you going on a blind date?"

"What does my blind date have to do with you? Why did you give me the dress?"

Haniya's voice turned cold, and her eyes were tearing up.

For a moment, Desmond didn't know what to say. He then replied, "Didn't you want to buy a dress, but Victoria spoiled your plan? You didn't manage to buy your dress and lost your money. So what's wrong with me giving you a dress?"

So he bought a dress to apologize because Victoria made things difficult for her?

This made Haniya feel even worse.

She never wanted Desmond's pity!

At this time, Haniya looked at the dress in her hand again. The more she looked at it, the more annoying she felt it was. Her eyes were filled with warm tears, so it felt piercing. But she bit her lower lip tightly as

she was worried that she would cry out loud.

Haniya, oh, Haniya. Desmond has made it so clear, what was she expecting?

Haniya thought that Desmond wasn't destined for her, and she should give up.

But the pain in her heart was unbearable!

On the other hand, Desmond did not hear Haniya's reply and could not help feeling anxious.

"I don't know many girls, and I don't know what girls like. Just tell me, which one would you choose between a comedy and a horror movie?"

Tears streamed down Haniya's face when she heard this. She never thought that she would one day advise the man she loved about other women.

She endured the pain and whispered, "A horror movie."

"Why?"

"That's because she will feel afraid when watching a horror movie. When she is afraid, she'll seek protection from you. This will give you a chance to interact with her."

After that, Haniya hung up the phone.

Was she giving up on Desmond now?

When she imagined a woman screaming and throwing herself into Desmond's arms while he patted the woman's back to comfort her, Haniya felt hurt. In fact, she was so pained at this thought that she almost suffocated!
