Walter fell and hurt his b*ttock.

"How did you walk? Watch out from me!"

He was d*mn furious. He jumped up and was going to fight with the person.

"What are you doing here, Walter?"

At this moment, a melodic and lilting voice sounded, which stopped Walter immediately.

He saw both Genevieve and Mango standing and staring at him when he turned around. The person who had just spoken was Genevieve.

Walter was in great astonishment.

Weren't they supposed to arrive the next day?

So what made them arrive earlier than expected?

Furthermore, why were they at this club?

Novalee was delighted to meet Mango here, and she happily ran to her. "You're here, Ms. Shen? Didn't you say that you would arrive by tomorrow?" Mango smiled at her and then walked forward to the man who was knocked down by Walter. She bowed apologetically to him.

"I'm sorry."

She gestured in apology.

Walter suddenly felt uneasy.

"It's my fault, Mango. I will apologize for my mistake."

He immediately pulled her away.

Genevieve was kind of annoyed when she saw his overprotective nature towards Mango.

Of course, so was Mango.

She pushed Walter away and made a gesture to the man. "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong. This is my friend. Nice to meet you here."

She reached out her hand to Maxton.

Maxton smiled and said, "It's okay. This gentleman is quite aggressive. Since he's your friend, I will forgive him. Let's talk inside."

"Sure."

Mango nodded her head. Happily, she led him and Genevieve to the private room she had booked.

On the other hand, Walter seemed to be neglected.

He couldn't stand that the person who ignored him was Mango, and his heart was consumed by jealousy.

"Hey, count me in."

He was about to follow them but was locked outside by Mango.

"How dare you, Mango..."

Walter intended to break into the room, but when he recalled how Mango treated Mr. Zhong and how Genevieve was there as well, he calmed himself. Perhaps they were here to talk about Mango's voice?

Walter kept himself calm. Novalee felt sorry for him when she caught a glimpse of hurt on his face.

"Would you like to have a drink?"

Novalee suggested him.

Walter looked at her and said, "You can't afford the wine I want."

That was the truth, but it hurt Novalee.

"Beer can make you drunk too. Don't tell me that you can only get drunk on Lafite."

Walter was clearly not in the mood.

To be honest, he was sad when Mango ignored him.

This was the bad thing about love. Any small action from the person you fancied would hurt you terribly.

He was reluctant to leave, but it didn't look good for him to wait around. Hence, he agreed to go with Novalee.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to buy me a treat."

He eventually took a seat in the lobby.

Novalee knew that he wasn't in a good mood, so she did not fuss over his impolite actions. Just then, she asked the waiter to get them a case of beer and said to Walter, "Cheers!" "Are we doing shots?"

He did not intend to bully Novalee, but he just wanted to drown his sorrows in beer. Moderate drinking couldn't get rid of his bad mood.

Novalee didn't say anything either. However, she bottomed up her beer without hesitation.

Then, she turned the empty bottle upside down. Her unrestrained character pleased Walter instantly.

"Woah, I like that!"

Walter was no slouch, and he drank one whole bottle in one gulp as well.

They didn't talk to each other as they downed multiple bottles. Soon, empty bottles were surrounding the table.

After that, Novalee burped uncomfortably. Then, she said, "I am going to the restroom."

"Be careful, don't go into the wrong room."

However, Novalee had already left.

Now, Walter was left drinking alone.

He found it so boring the more he drank.

Then, the door opened. Walter looked up and saw Zendaya walking in instead of Mango.

Zendaya was dazed for a second.

She recalled what she saw earlier, and she had wondered if it was Walter. Now, she was pleased to see him drinking alone.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Song. What makes you here again? Shall I drink with you?"

"Get lost!"

Walter was in a bad mood, and he didn't even try to be nice to her.

It wasn't the first time Zendaya was driven away by Walter, so she smiled brazenly. "Let me drink with you, Mr. Song. Two is always better than one when it comes to drinking." As she spoke, she went to pour some beer for Walter.

Walter's bad mood worsened when he saw how Zendaya acted, and he pushed her aside.

"Don't ever touch me after another man has had you. Do you think I'm that easy?"

Zendaya's face suddenly turned pale.

Did he see it?

Zendaya comforted herself earlier that Walter was only passing by the room where she was just now and that he'd seen nothing. His remarks pierced her heart which made her cry.

"Mr. Song, it's not what you think. I can explain."

"I don't even care! Get out of here! I'm sick of you."

Walter's merciless words made Zendaya burst into tears.

Just then, Mango and Genevieve stepped out of the room.

"Mango!"

Walter stood up and ran towards Mango. Then, he subconsciously created a distance between Maxton and Mango.

Again. Mango was speechless.

She smiled apologetically to Maxton and made a gesture that said, "Sorry for causing trouble, Mr. Zhong."

"It's okay. Let's talk next time."

Maxton was indeed a handsome man, and it seemed like no one could break his calm expression. He grinned at Walter and left.

Zendaya had never seen him being so protective towards a woman. He wasn't even this worried about Novalee. Thus, she couldn't help squinting her eyes.

After Maxton left, Walter abruptly turned around and grabbed Mango's shoulders. He growled. "Can't you just give me a call before you arrive? You have no idea how terrible the level of safety here is. What am

I to do if something happens to you? You're infuriating."

Zendaya was taken aback.

Mango?

The woman whom he was in love with?

She couldn't help but squint her eyes again as she gave Mango a once over.

This woman was indeed very attractive, and Zendaya had to admit the fact that Mango was prettier than her.

Zendaya got jealous, and she had underestimated the importance of Mango to Walter.

Seeing that Walter was out of his mind, Genevieve pulled him away and said," Are you crazy, Walter? Mango came here to deal with something."

"Of course I know. Didn't I tell you that I can handle this by myself? What are you doing here? Do you know who Dakari is? Are you just going to come whenever he calls? Isn't that stupid?"

He raised his voice unconsciously, and he became more annoyed when he recalled how Mango had ignored him earlier.

"What are you talking about? What contract and agreement do you mean? Mango is not here for that, she's here about Nathaniel. Maxton is my senior, and he can be a great help to Nathaniel's illness. What the hell are you on about?"

Genevieve's remarks actually stunned Walter.

She was here for Nathaniel?

Did she come all the way not for him or the agreement, but for Nathaniel?

Walter felt as if he had been gutted, and all of his internal organs were spilling out.

He had always known that the person Mango loved was Nathaniel. However, he told himself that he finally had a chance to take care of her after Nathaniel had fallen severely ill.

Even if Mango wasn't interested in him, at least Nathaniel didn't have the strength to get in his way.

He would give up everything in this world for Mango. However, she could do the same for Nathaniel.

The undeniable fact hurt him, but he just couldn't help himself.

Mango had told him once before that she didn't love him. Right now, he could only watch as Mango sacrificed all she could to save Nathaniel and getting hurt in the process.

He stepped back abruptly with a bitter smile.

"Seems like you're not here for me. I've read too much into it."

He returned to his table before he picked up the bottle and gulped down the beer.

The beer flowed into his mouth. It tasted bitter, but not as bitter as the hardship he was facing in this relationship.

Novalee returned from the ladies' room just in time to see what happened.

She felt sympathy towards Walter.

"Are you leaving now, Ms. Shen? Shall we stay together if you don't mind?"

Walter lowered his voice. "Ms. Shen has come here to do something urgent, Novalee. Stop messing around. She doesn't take this project as seriously as you think."

Mango felt awful as she looked at Walter.

She knew that she had hurt Walter, but there was nothing she could do.

She had given all her love to Nathaniel, and there was no room for anyone else.

Walter was good to her, but she didn't deserve it.

She wished to say something but Novalee

interrupted her.

"Well, stop staying that. Though it seems like Ms. Shen isn't putting much effort into this project, but she does hope that the agreement will be successfully signed. Am I right, Ms. Shen?"

Novalee smiled pleadingly towards Mango.

She hoped that Mango would go easy on Walter this time.

Mango paused before she nodded with a smile. Then, she gestured, "That's absolutely right.

I value this contract very much, Walter. With you in charge of this, I feel much better. Once this comes through, I'll need to thank you properly."

"Cut the crap. I'm not a kid. Well, you'd better get your stuff done instead. Don't get in the way of me and my drinks. Let's go on, Novalee!"

Walter said loudly, but Mango couldn't ignore the sorrow in his eyes.

It was lucky that Novalee was here.

Mango gave Genevieve a relieved look and Mango left together with her.

None of them realized that Zendaya was standing aside, watching all of this in silence. Then, a thoughtful look crossed her eyes.
