The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1587
Mango thought for a moment and said to the film producer, "I found it, but there's something I need to settle."
"You come to the filming site to look for someone. Is the person an actor?"
Since he had nothing to do anyway, so he lit a cigarette and started to chat with Mango.
Ever since Nathaniel stopped smoking these years, Mango was sensitive to the smell of smoke. She couldn't help but take a step back. Upon seeing this, he immediately understood put out the cigarette in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I'm used to it."
"It's alright."
Mango did not care.
Since she had planned to come here, she could not always force other people to adapt to her like this. After all, she was not the centre of the universe, so not everyone needed to please her. After putting out the cigarette, he asked, "Are you looking for Rainie?"
"Yes."
Many outsiders knew about her relationship with Rainie, so there was no need for her to hide anything.
When he heard Mango's straightforward's answer, he couldn't help but lean in and say mysteriously, "I'll tell you a secret about Rainie. With that, can you do me a favour?" "What do you want?"
Mango knew that she couldn't just sit back and watch, so she was keen to see the secret.
Then, he said with a smile, "I want Katherine's next design."
"I don't cooperate with others. After all, my husband is working in the automobile industry. I don't need this."
Mango refused directly.
Although she was angry with Nathaniel because of Thomas' matter, she could still make her own decision based on her judgement.
However, he shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you to work for me. However, you're more than welcome to if you want. But as you said, your husband Nathaniel can provide you with the resources and platform to expand your career, and I can't even win over him. I want you to design a car for me, and that's all." "That's it?" Mango was a little surprised when she heard this.
He nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm also a car racer, but I haven't found a good car. In recent years, your design is the only one I'm satisfied with. However, the car you designed is a sports car, not a racing car. It needs to be improved in performance. I've also spent a lot of money to modify the car. Despite so, the design and sustainability of the vehicle is important. In fact, I'm unsatisfied of all the designs I've had people done for me, so..."
"When do you want it?"
When Mango heard him say that he was a racer, she knew where the problem was.
Indeed, the cars she designed two years ago were suited for ordinary usage. Although they were sports cars, they were only suitable for daily driving. Therefore, she knew the vehicles' performance was not ideal for racers.
When Carlo had seen Mango had agreed, he was especially happy.
"Did you really agree?"
"Yeah, I'll do it as I need to return you a favour. I'll also check up on the racing team you mentioned."
Carlo felt much more reassured after hearing Mango's reply.
"Alright, sorry for troubling you though."
"So what exactly is Rainie's secret?"
This was what Mango cared about the most.
He looked at her with deep thoughts. He knew that she was worth his time the moment she decided to use her design in exchange for a secret of a friend.
"I'm the producer of this movie, and sometimes the director will let me have dinner with the actors and actresses. Well, you know what happens in this industry, right?"
In fact, Mango knew it.
She also knew how chaotic the circle was. However, she was reassured because she always thought that Thomas would take good care of Rainie and escort her whenever possible. At least, he would not let her participate in such a dinner. After all, Thomas could help her if she needed to get a role in films, but...
Mango's eyes darkened.
"Did Rainie participate in this kind of thing?"
"That's not true. In fact, she rarely attended this kind of dinner. There's one time I didn't invite her, but she was present that day. She drank a lot and seemed to be in a bad mood, even a little sad. You know, I'm happy to have such a huge celebrity coming over, so I followed her out when I saw her drinking too much. I planned to ask if she wanted to make friends with me, but I didn't expect to see her lying outside and vomiting."
Upon hearing this, Mango frown even more.
"Did she drink too much?"
"I thought so at first, but when I went over to hold her, I found that she was coughing violently, and she was coughing blood."
"What did you say?"
Mango was utterly stunned when she heard this.
Blood?
How could ordinary people cough up blood?
Was Rainie sick?
This was true.
She would not tell her that she was ill. Besides, Rainie even tried to hide Thomas' affair from her because she was afraid that it would cause a disagreement between Mango and Nathaniel, wasn't it? What was wrong with her?
Mango immediately became anxious after hearing this.
The guy saw Mango's worried expression and said, "I don't know either. But since she's already in this state, I won't take advantage of her anymore. Instead, I helped her into the car and sent her home. Only then did I know that she was married. Don't worry, I definitely didn't have any bad intentions towards her. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. I'm not interested in married women, so I never contacted her again. But she look really sick and pale back then, so I'm afraid she's really sick."
After hearing his words, Mango quickly nodded.
"Thank you, I'll take your design seriously. I'll contact you another day."
After that, Mango turned around and left.
She must find Rainie and ask her about it.
Now that Denver was not around and she did not even have a family to depend on. To make matter worse, she had encountered the misfortune of having a cheater as her husband, who else could she trust? The silly woman silently endured the pain and abandoned her closest friend. How could she do such a thing?
Rainie had to get her permission before breaking off the friendship!
Mango walked quickly. Just then, her phone rang.
When Mango saw that it was a call from Merle, she directly picked it up.
"Madam, I've found it. I'll send you the message
on WhatsApp."
"Help me check the medical information that they have on Rainie this year, including the health facility she visited."
Mango immediately thought of other possibilities when she found out that Rainie was hiding the truth from her.
Perhaps she did not go to the hospital for an examination. After all, Thomas would have found out. Since she wanted to hide it, she would naturally not let such a loophole appear.
So what could make her so painstakingly conceal the illness?
Mango's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Then, a sense of uneasiness lingered in her heart.
Rainie was so pitiful that she had no one to talk to. Furthermore, her husband had cheated on her, and she was sick.
Wait, this wasn't right!
Mango suddenly thought of the young guy beside Rainie.
Perhaps he would know something.
