Suddenly, Mango didn't feel like talking to Desmond.
"Well, it's fine. I just wanted you to pay attention to what's happening in Angolla. Although we can't intervene now, we still need to know the current situation. Go back and reorganize the Dark Night Empire since you are free. Don't just focus on your strength but pay some attention to increasing the overall strength of the Dark Night Empire too. Since you were not in a good mood a while back, I gave you time off. It's now time to get back on your feet."
When Desmond heard Mango's words, he couldn't help but recall what the pilot had said to him and frowned.
"Madam, I heard that when you're in need of help while overseas, you mobilized the old division of the Dark Night Empire?"
"What? What do you have in mind?"
Mango didn't think that Desmond was questioning her. She knew Desmond well, and she was sure he asked because he had something in mind, not because he was jealous.
Then, Desmond thought for a moment and said, "I want to recruit Merle and also the old forces behind him. It's not fair to dismiss everyone because of a mistake that Merle made."
"Oh, well, you can handle this on your own. You are now the captain of Dark Night Empire, so I'll leave this to you. I'm going through so much right now, so I have no mood and energy to deal with this. I believe you can do it."
Mango touched her belly as a motherly aura enveloped her.
After that, Desmond said casually, "You don't have the mood to care about the Dark Night Empire, but you have the mood to care about someone else's blind date?"
Mango was stunned by these words.
Desmond had only continued living in the past because of a promise that he had made to Marissa. Hence, he was like a walking dead without a soul. But now, he was in high spirits. Although he was still calm and restrained, there was life in him.
Who was the one who had caused him to be in this way?
Was it Haniya?
Suddenly, Mango understood what was going on when she saw Haniya's depressed expression.
"What do you feel towards Haniya?"
"This is a personal matter, and it is not work-related. If there's nothing else you want to tell me, I'll be leaving now. You're not well, so please take care of yourself. I will report back what is necessary."
After finishing his words, Desmond turned around and left.
Mango felt a little upset when she heard this.
"Hey, who gave you the courage to talk to your employer this way? How dare you!"
"Well, I believe that Mr. Ye will agree with what I said."
After saying that, Desmond smirked and left Mango stunned.
What? Desmond could actually smile?
It seemed like he was really over it.
However, according to Haniya, they had barely talked on the island. Therefore, it seemed that Desmond needed an external force to prompt him. Hence, introducing a few men to Haniya sounded like a good idea.
As she thought about this, Mango let out a laugh.
"What made you so happy?"
Nathaniel couldn't help but ask as he saw Mango laughing when he pushed his wheelchair into the room.
"Haha! I'm arranging a blind date for Haniya."
Nathaniel was stunned when he heard Mango's reply.
"A blind date? Doesn't she like Desmond?"
"Even if she likes him, she still needs a response from him, doesn't she? Look at Desmond's lifeless demeanor! I don't want Haniya to wait forever. Why should she commit herself to him when she is still so young? Besides, she has agreed to go on a blind date."
As Mango happily expressed her thoughts, Desmond returned to get something he left behind. At this time, he overheard what Mango said and felt disturbed.
When Haniya returned to her room, Mango's words still lingered in her mind.
Was she going on a blind date?
Well, she would go ahead then!
Didn't she agree to what Mango had said earlier?
But why did she feel so upset and uncomfortable about it?
At this thought, Desmond's figure suddenly appeared in Haniya's mind.
He was a good-looking man, and she fell in love with him at first sight. Now that she thought about this, she was just too ordinary for Desmond. How could she think that she was a good match for him?
Moreover, Desmond had Marissa in his heart. She was a living person, so how she could compare to a dead person? If Desmond had feelings for her, he would not have turned a blind eye on her while they were on the island for such a long period.
At this thought, Haniya felt very sorrowful.
She was secretly in love with Desmond, and she even tried to win his heart. She even mustered all the courage she had, Although she didn't give her all, she had given what she could, but she still didn't win his heart. Wasn't it time to give up?
She should go on a blind date then!
Perhaps she would meet her other half through blind dates. Even if she wouldn't like him as much as she liked Desmond, it would be fine as long as he treated her well and accepted her for who she was.
At this thought, Haniya sarcastically laughed as she changed her clothes. She was about to bring her clothes to the laundry room when she heard footsteps behind her.
She didn't turn back as she assumed it was the maid, and she said in a low voice, "Wait a minute. I'll be done in a while."
Then, she quickly threw the clothes into the washing machine.
At that moment, a shirt and a pair of pants were thrown at her as she heard a familiar voice.
"Help me wash this too."
Haniya was slightly stunned, but she did not dare to look back.
It was Desmond!
She didn't know why, but when she promised Mango that she would go on a blind date, she felt sorry for Desmond.
She must have gone crazy!
Why did she feel sorry for Desmond?
They were not a couple, so why should she care about Desmond's feelings?
Despite thinking that way, Haniya still picked up his shirt and pants. Then she saw something fall out of his pants.
She was stunned for a moment and started to blush.
