Desmond felt a little uncomfortable when he saw how furious Haniya was.
Was she looking forward to the blind date?
However, Desmond replied casually, "I have told you about it and passed you the photo. Also, everyone in Dark Night Empire saw it."
"Urgh! You're spouting nonsense again!"
On the other hand, Haniya had no recollection of that.
However, Desmond looked at Haniya seriously, and she suddenly became timid.
Did he really tell her about it?
She frowned and tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday. Haniya remembered that Desmond seemed to have said something to her before she fainted, but she didn't catch it.
Thus, Haniya asked uncertainly, "Erm... did you say something to me after I completed the run?"
This time, Desmond didn't bother replying to her. Instead, he took out his phone and opened up a recorded message before handing it to Haniya.
"Go back and take a bath before getting a good sleep. By the way, Madam asked me to pass this to you. You will be meeting him at 7.30 a.m. tomorrow at Lanowe Cafe."
Desmond's voice was clear in the recording.
Suddenly, Haniya felt a little embarrassed.
Well, Desmond did tell her about it!
Oh, well. She could only blame herself because she didn't hear what he said before she fainted.
She did see Desmond's lips moving yesterday, but she couldn't make out what he had been saying.
Haniya quickly apologized.
However, Desmond snorted and grabbed his phone before leaving, which made Haniya very uncomfortable.
Urgh! Couldn't he treat her a little better?
However, Haniya felt a little frustrated. Why did she sleep so soundly?
Was she that tired?
Haniya couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to waste any more time and ran straight to Mango's room.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was feeding Mango her medicine when Haniya came in without knocking on the door. Hence, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye."
"Have you forgotten how to knock on the door?"
Nathaniel frowned slightly and asked. If it weren't for Haniya's good relationship with Mango, he would have been furious.
However, It was unlike her to act so hastily.
On the other hand, when Mango saw Haniya standing there looking lost, she quickly drank up the medicine. She passed the bowl to Nathaniel and said in disgust, "Hurry up and leave. I need to talk to Haniya."
Nathaniel frowned and glanced at her helplessly when he heard this.
"Are you tired of me?"
"What do you think? We've been married for so long, so what else do we have to talk about? You should leave now."
After saying that, Mango gave him a push.
Nathaniel was helpless as he shook his head and then pushed his wheelchair out.
Meanwhile, Haniya was a little hesitant.
"Madam, I'm sorry. It was my fault that I couldn't wake up in time and missed the blind date."
Haniya quickly apologized.
Mango saw that Haniya had a good complexion, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Have you been exhausted lately?"
"Not really. It's just that Desmond got me to train a few female students at Dark Night Empire's training base yesterday. I'm not sure what made him angry, but he made us run with weights. After the run, I fell asleep immediately, and I didn't expect to wake up at this hour."
Haniya felt bad about what she had reported. However, she did not tell Mango that Desmond made her run 6 miles with weights. After all, she was afraid that Mango would blame Desmond, so she was subconsciously trying to protect him.
"Madam, Desmond thought it was improper for him to train the female students. That's why he got me to train them instead."
If Haniya hadn't said these words, Mango would have thought that the situation was normal. However, she felt like laughing after hearing this.
After all, Mango knew what happened yesterday as Ned came back and reported to her exaggeratedly what he saw. After Haniya fainted, everyone saw Desmond carrying her to her room. Therefore, Haniya was the only one who did not know about this.
Since there were female students at Dark Night Empire, and Mango already had a nutritionist by her side, it didn't matter if Haniya stayed with her. Moreover, Desmond had already brought Haniya to Dark Night Empire to train the female students. Hence, it seemed like he wanted to keep her close to him.
Well, Mango was willing to let Haniya go, but she also needed Desmond to request it.
Well, well. He could have said so if he didn't want Haniya to go on the blind date. He didn't have to tire her out so that she would miss the time. Haha! Only a man as indifferent as Desmond would do such a thing.
Furthermore, Mango knew what made Haniya sleep so soundly.
After all, Desmond had put essential oil into Haniya's bath. Although it relieved her fatigue, it also promoted sleep. So, it was natural for Haniya to fall into a deep sleep.
But Mango didn't want to tell Haniya about this.
She wanted to see how long it would take before Desmond confessed his feelings for Haniya.
Desmond was inexpressive, while Haniya was too timid and had low self-esteem. If neither of them took the first step forward, there would never be any progress.
However, Mango didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Oh, well. We can't do anything since you've missed it. Don't worry, I still have other elite candidates for you. Have a good rest today, and I'll set you up for another blind date tomorrow."
When Haniya saw that Mango was not angry at her but was very enthusiastic about this, she felt terrible.
Mango was someone with a reputation!
The man whom Mango introduced must be of certain status. Hence, Haniya might have ruined Mango's reputation because she had missed the blind date.
