The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 690

Novalee was not used to being so intimate with other women and Zendaya even had a conflict with her previously, so she couldn't pretend as if nothing had happened although she didn't mind the previous incident.

Novalee also had a hunch that Zendaya surely wasn't as friendly as she seemed.

So, Novalee withdrew her hand from Zendaya's hold without a second thought and kept a distance from her.

Zendaya felt even angrier when she saw Novalee's action, but she smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, are you still not able to forgive me? I admit that I was at fault, so how about you slap me again to vent your anger?"

Zendaya bet that Novalee wouldn't dare to hit her at this moment.

It was obvious that she was just putting up a show.

However, Walter said, "That sounds like a good idea, so why not? Novalee, slap her."

The corners of Novalee's mouth twitched.

Wasn't this woman the designer of his company?

Why did he seem so indifferent?

Zendaya was also completely frozen at her spot.

She ran a background check on Walter last night and found that he was a playboy who treated women gently and with consideration, but why was the person before her so different?

Walter didn't care what was on Zendaya's mind but he flicked Novalee's forehead as he saw that Novalee was stunned, "Are you dumb?"

"Ouch! Don't hit me on the head as I would probably become dumb even if I wasn't before this."

Novalee waved her small fists as she had the urge to punch Walter.

Walter couldn't help but laugh out loud seeing her grinding her teeth so fiercely while Zendaya became more jealous as it was obvious that Walter's laugh came from the bottom of his heart. Walter's condition perfectly fitted her ideal type and he was exactly the type of husband she was looking for. Zendaya was no longer at a young age, so she would never give up Walter as he was wealthy and that was the main reason.

Zendaya hurriedly said at the thought of this, "Miss Zhang, Mr. Song is just joking around with you."

Walter and Novalee were in high spirits but

Zendaya's interruption ruined their mood.

"Alright, let's go to buy clothes now as well need to meet Mr. Liu soon."

Walter ended the conversation immediately.

The three of them went straight to the mall.

Zendaya deliberately took Novalee to the high-end shopping zone.

Novalee turned around and left as soon as she saw the price but Walter stopped her.

"Where are you going?"

"The clothes here are too expensive and I can't afford them."

Novalee knew her budget and she didn't want to buy any outfit from the store as every piece of clothing here was worth half of her hard-earned salary.

Walter had never seen a woman who didn't enjoy buying clothes.

"You should dress decently now that you're out for a business trip with me. Don't worry as you won't have to pay for these clothes."

"If that's so, I must not buy it as I shouldn't take advantage of you since we aren't close friends to begin with."

Walter was stunned and surprised at Novalee's words as all other women he met in the past had always desired him to buy clothes and handbags for them, or even houses and cars. At this moment, Walter felt curious and amazed as this was the first time he had heard from a woman that she didn't want to take advantage of him.

"I won't be paying for you but Mango will as this is your attire for the business trip."

"Still, these clothes are too expensive."

Novalee disagreed.

Zendaya felt extremely frustrated.

Was Novalee a fool?

Someone was offering to buy clothes for her yet she rejected... did she even have common sense?

Walter noticed that Novalee was really leaving, so he hurriedly said, "You're representing Mango to meet Mr. Liu and he will have a bad impression of Mango's company if you dress so shabbily. Also, he won't entrust you any projects even if your company has the capability as he'll think that your corporation is not upscale. There's a lot to learn about in the commercial world, so you'd better follow my guidance." Having said that, he flicked Novalee's forehead again.

Novalee was stunned and she did not refute.

She understood Walter's words only when she looked at her own ordinary clothes and then glanced at Zendaya's outfit.

She didn't know that she held Mango's reputation.

Fine.

At the thought of this, Novalee turned around and followed Walter back to the high-end area.

Walter had the urge to laugh when he saw Novalee acting like this.

She was really innocent and it was rare to encounter a woman like her in today's society.

He looked at Zendaya and noticed how her eyes were filled with desire and greed as she gaped at the limited edition outfits.

Zendaya seemed so covetous in comparison with Novalee.

Walter waited outside and asked Zendaya to shop with Novalee in the area.

Novalee found a dress and decided to try it in the fitting room.

At that moment, Zendaya hurriedly followed her in and locked the door of the fitting room.

"What are you doing?"

Novalee knew that Zendaya wouldn't let go of her grievance so easily and she looked at Zendaya boldly with her cold gaze.

At that instant, Zendaya dropped her facade.

She looked at Novalee unwelcomingly and said, "Let me warn you, Walter is mine and you'd better stay away from him. Don't blame me for being rude to you if I find out that you're trying to make him yours!" "What are you talking about? Walter is not yours and he won't be yours as the person he likes is Ms. Shen."

Novalee felt that Zendaya was absolutely a fool and she didn't want to waste her time arguing with her. She opened the door and was about to go out when Zendaya stopped her.

"Who is Ms. Shen?"

"You'd better stop making a fool of yourself as you are no compare to Ms. Shen at all. I suggest that you mind your behavior or else you may lose your job."

Zendaya narrowed her eyes when she heard Novalee's words.

"You mind your own business."

Zendaya wanted to bully Novalee but she was displeased as Novalee obviously didn't let down her guard against her.

Novalee was no longer in the mood to try her clothes.

She changed into the outfit directly and Walter paid for it before the three of them walked out of the mall.

Walter thought that the outfit chosen by Novalee was rather extraordinary as neither did she look weak nor angelic. Instead, she appeared incredibly capable like a professional female with that outfit. Novalee said uneasily as she noticed that Walter was looking at her, "What's wrong? Do I not look good?"

"You look pretty, who chose the outfit?"

"Of course I did."

Zendaya answered immediately before Novalee could.

Novalee was displeased but she didn't bother to explain and she went straight forward. However, she realized that she had no idea where were they heading after taking a few steps.

"Where are we meeting Mr. Liu?"

"At Winterbourne Lodge."

Zendaya was stunned when she heard what Walter said.

"Are you going to Winterbourne Lodge to find Dakari Liu?" Walter became curious at that instant.

"Do you know him?"

Novalee also looked at Zendaya as she felt that Zendaya harbored evil intentions.

Zendaya smiled and said, "He's my brother! I could have taken you there directly if you told me beforehand that you have dealings with him. Don't worry as I'm sure that my brother will agree to collaborate with

you."

Novalee felt slightly downhearted.

How could Dakari be Zendaya's elder brother?

Nevertheless, she did not say anything as she looked at Walter.

Walter answered, "That's great! It would be nice if you could put in a good word for us later."

"Of course as you're my... boss after all!"

Zendaya had the urge to address him as her husband but she didn't dare to do so.

She could tell that Walter didn't like getting ordered around by others and it was precisely because of this that she liked him even more.

He was a man with a strong personality!

Novalee turned her head away when she saw the shamelessness in Zendaya's eyes.

"Ms. Shen, a vixen is about to snatch Walter away

from you."

Novalee took the opportunity to send a message to Mango.

Mango was stunned when she received the message.

"A vixen?"

"Yea, I'll send a photo of her to you."

Novalee furtively tilted her phone before sending Mango a picture of Zendaya's appearances.

Mango was stunned when she saw Zendaya as she was really good-looking.

She didn't expect Walter to be able to encounter such a pretty woman during his trip to Clayville.

Mango initially wanted to make Novalee and Walter a couple, but now that she realized that the two of them didn't have the idea and that Walter met another woman, Mango felt really happy for him.

She sent a message to Walter directly.

"Wow, it seems that you always have romantic encounters wherever you go."

Walter wanted to ask Zendaya if her brother had any hobbies, but his expression darkened the moment he received Mango's message.

"Where did you get that rumor from? It's not like you don't know that you're the only woman in my heart."

Walter didn't bother to type and he sent Mango a voice message directly.

Zendaya was stunned at that instant.

Who was she?

Novalee chuckled as she noticed how angry Zendaya was and she said, "See? You'd better give up before it's too late as Ms. Shen is the one that won Walter's heart."

"Ms. Shen?"

Zendaya's narrowed her eyes.

Mango smiled as she heard Walter's reply and typed, "Just admit it if that's true... Why are you so worked up when I didn't even imply anything?"

"How am I worked up! Mango Shen, you'd better quit your nonsense as you're the woman who I have my heart set on for the rest of my life! I won't marry anyone else other than you." Zendaya noted down Mango's name quietly after hearing what Walter said.

Mango Shen...

Zendaya wanted to know what kind of a woman Mango was and what ability did she have to attract Walter's attention.

Novalee let out a sigh of relief seeing that Zendaya had calm her tits for the moment.

On the other hand, Mango didn't bother to reply to

Walter anymore as she knew that he was just messing around.

"Hey, Mango, reply me! Hey, hey, hey! F*ck!"

Walter saw Novalee on her phone as soon as he turned around.

"What did you tell Mango?"

"I didn't tell her anything... I'm just playing Candy Crush, look."

Novalee showed her phone to Walter and she was indeed playing Candy Crush.

Walter looked at her gloomily and said, "Please spend your time doing things that will increase your IQ... How am I supposed to report to Mango that I'm not able to teach a person with a low IQ like you?"

Zendaya's eyes narrowed yet again.

He had to report to Mango?

Could it be that Walter treated Novalee so well because Mango told him to?

If that was the case, then Mango was her true love rival although she hadn't met her.

Zendaya's brain was running wild.

On the other hand, Novalee felt that she was wronged.

What did she do?

Why did he consider her low IQ just because she was playing Candy Crush? She had completed more than 800 levels and she doubted that Walter could do the same.

However, she didn't spill her thoughts as she was afraid that Walter might attack her verbally.

At this moment, Zendaya's phone rang.

She smiled sweetly after looking at the caller ID.
