The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 684

"Novalee? Why is it you?"

Walter turned around and left sullenly.

Similarly, Novalee heard that Mango would refer her to an expert, but she didn't expect the person to be Walter.

That pretty boy?

Was Mango kidding?

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either! Why is it you? Ms. Shen must have made a mistake as a pretty boy like you would have no capability whatsoever. Something's not right, I'll call Ms. Shen right now as she must have been deceived."

Novalee called Mango as she spoke but Mango's phone was switched off.

What a joke! Mango turned off her phone so that they couldn't contact her. Obviously, she wasn't stupid and knew for sure what would happen after they met.

"Hmph, if I knew that it was you, I wouldn't have come even if I was paid ten million dollars!"

Walter's words angered Novalee.

"Ten million dollars? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? Who would reward a pretty boy like you ten million dollars? No one would hire you even if you were to offer them that amount of money! As I see it, you're merely trash!"

At that instant, Novalee's words provoked Walter.

"Let me warn you, I never refrain myself from hitting a woman, and don't think that I wouldn't dare to beat you up just because you're Mango's subordinate. You'd better not call me that again!"

"Trash! What's wrong? Why don't you just hit me?"

Novalee thought that Walter would never dare to touch her.

However, her provocation angered Walter to the max.

He stepped forward without a second thought before grabbing Novalee's collar and shoving her harshly to the side as Mango wasn't around right now.

In a flash, Novalee was tossed aside and she collapsed to the ground.

"Ah!"

Novalee fell to the ground, but she didn't feel pain as what truly hurt was her self-esteem!

F*ck!

She was defeated by a pretty boy!

She would not be able to get a boyfriend if someone spread this incident out!

"Walter Song, you've done it now!"

Novalee ignored the pain she felt as she got up and rushed toward Walter.

Walter couldn't deny that Novalee was actually quite strong.

Then, he was knocked down by her in a flash.

This wicked woman was like a mad cow!

She was particularly stubborn and surprisingly powerful.

Shouldn't a woman be gentle and submissive?

How could she be so strong?

Walter felt resentful, but he didn't dare to go all out and hit her.

"You'd better not go overboard, or else I'll..."

"I'll bite you to death!"

Novalee was so angry that she stepped forward without hesitation and bit Walter's neck.

"Ahh! B*tch, are you crazy? Damn it, my neck! Stop biting me! Novalee, I warn you, you'd better let go of me right now, or else there will be consequences!"

Walter felt as if Novalee was about to bite off his neck!

Was she mad?

He attempted to push Novalee away subconsciously, but he accidentally placed his hands on the wrong part.

Walter was stunned.

Mm... it actually felt good as it was soft.

Then, he pinched it subconsciously.

At that moment, fury roared through Novalee's mind.

"You pervert!"

She stopped biting him, but she immediately slapped Walter instead.

Walter could feel his cheek going numb because of her slap, and anger rose in him like a furnace.

"F*ck! if it wasn't for the fact that Mango begged me to guide you, I would never want to meet a crazy b*tch like you! I'm warning you, we'd better depart now, but you must always keep a distance from me! Also, you should wear a mask or something so that I don't see your face!"

Walter knew that he was at fault although he was enraged.

He touched her accidentally, and it was just his subconscious reaction.

Nevertheless, they were even now since Novalee had slapped him.

Novalee was extremely enraged by Walter's words, but she held back her anger when she saw how his left cheek was completely swollen and blood was seeping out his neck.

She did this all for Mango.

She knew that Mango wasn't a deceitful person, and it was very likely Walter might be experienced despite being a pretty boy since Mango was the one who assigned him to guide her.

"Just pretend to be blind if you don't want to see me. I won't listen to you just because you told me to cover my face! I'm telling you, I would never go to Clayville with you if it weren't for Ms. Shen."

"Ah, you're right, I would never travel with you if it weren't for Mango, as my taste in women isn't that bad!"

Walter and Novalee bickered furiously and nobody was willing to give in.

Walter tried contacting Mango as he wanted to reject this task, but she didn't answer as her phone was off!

Ugh, she did it on purpose!

Walter was burning with anger, but there was nothing he could do as he was the one who agreed to Mango's request.

Soon, Walter and Novalee set off.

Novalee wanted to take public transport so that she could save money and claim the traveling costs from the company using the receipt.

However, Walter laughed as he found that ridiculous.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think that Mango would not reimburse the traveling costs? Besides, since I'm bringing you along, I will be the one driving and paying for petrol, so there's no need for you to claim from your company. I can't believe that you suggested taking the public bus... Why didn't you suggest going by Route 11 instead?"

"Route 11? That route can't bring us to Clayville."

Novalee frowned as she spoke while Walter became extremely frustrated.

Was she really living in the modern era?

How did she not know that Route 11 meant walking?

Walter intended to explain to Novalee, but her head was lowered as she was looking at the design plan in her hand. In fact, she was wondering if she should show it to Walter.

The plan looked interesting.

Walter took a look at it before he directly snatched it from Novalee.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you have a sense of respect? Can't you first tell me before taking my stuff?"

"You were going to show it to me anyway, weren't you?"

Walter said as he stared at the blueprint and Novalee became speechless after hearing his words.

"You shouldn't act like a bandit even if that's the case."

"Well, that's how I am, you got a problem with it? You can still take it back if you want."

Walter's eyes lit up as he looked at the design proposal.

"Who came up with this plan?"

"I did it..."

Novalee's was low as she had no confidence.

"Who?"

Walter raised his head suddenly, and his expression was filled with incredulity.

"I did it! I'm not a professional nor am I experienced, so the plan isn't good, but I don't care if you're going to mock me! I didn't do well this time, but I will keep up my efforts and I'll come up with a good design one day."

Novalee turned her head away and acted as if she didn't care what Walter thought about the plan, but she still glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

Walter's expression changed when he looked at Novalee.

"Well, this is unexpected. Although you're tanned and short, you're pretty smart. This design isn't perfect, and there are still many parts that need modification, but your drawing isn't bad at all. Frankly speaking, you have the potential."

Novalee thought that Walter was going to mock her and she was mentally prepared for his sarcastic comments, but she became completely stunned after hearing what he said.

"What did you say?"

"Are you deaf? I just said that you have potential, and suddenly you've become dumb again. Why did Mango even entrust her business to someone like you?"

Walter returned the design plan to Novalee and whispered, "Alright, let's head for Clayville now. I'll tell you how to improve the design after we settle down."

"Oh...okay."

Novalee eased up on her attitude towards Walter after seeing that he had made a solemn promise and that Mango had commended him a lot.

Both of them got into Walter's sports car.

Walter's car was bright red in color and his arrogance did not subside at all.

Novalee frowned as she looked at the car and said, "How vulgar."

"What now?"

Walter felt that Novalee was constantly angry at him as she always tried to pick a fight with him.

Novalee noticed that Walter was waiting for an answer, but she hurriedly turned her head away before getting in the car without saying another word.

Walter drove the car at 120km/h as if he was trying to vent his frustration and anger deep down.

He thought that Novalee would be afraid and scream, but it turned out that she remained calm and had no reaction at all.

Hence, Walter felt dissatisfied.

"Hey, don't you feel nauseous?"

"Why would I be?"

Novalee looked at Walter questioningly.

At that instant, Walter felt that Novalee was really a bizarre person.

She was very different from the women he had met before.

"Aren't you afraid since I'm driving so fast?" "You consider this fast? Your driving skill is just soso, and you're considering this as high speed?"

Novalee's contemptuous look provoked Walter once again.

"Oh, so you're good at driving? Why don't you drive then?"

"Of course, it's not a big deal!"

Novalee immediately asked Walter to pull over.

Walter got out of the car before handing the car key to Novalee. Then, he sat in the passenger seat as he saw that Novalee was so confident.

He was interested to see how good was this woman's driving skill.

Novalee got in the car after getting the key, but she stared at it for a moment.

"What's wrong? Start the car!"

Walter couldn't help but tease her seeing that she was at a loss.

Novalee said gloomily, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just looking for the clutch."

Walter's expression darkened.

"Girl, why are you looking for the clutch when I'm using an automatic transmission? Don't tell me that you haven't tried driving an automatic car before?" "Aren't they all cars? What's the difference? I'm a fast learner, and I'll be able to drive the car if you tell me howto do it."

Novalee said nonchalantly.

Walter sneered but he decided to take a bet, so he said, "Alright, I'll tell you as I'd like to see how you drive."

Having said that, he taught Novalee how to start the car and drive it.

"That's easy, I got it."

Novalee pushed Walter away before saying ostentatiously, "Fasten your seat belt!"

"Why should I fasten my seat belt when you're the one driving the car...ahh!"

Before Walter could finish his words, his car accelerated onto the road at full tilt.

He almost bumped into the windshield as he was caught off guard.

Walter had to admit that he shouldn't have treated Novalee as an ordinary woman.

He hurriedly fastened his seat belt, but he soon realized that Novalee was driving at a speed of 160km/h.

What the f*ck!

She was crazy!

Walter was starting to get excited, but his face turned pale as he noticed a serious problem.
