There was something wrong with Victoria!
Perhaps Jose was also suspicious!
At this thought, Haniya suddenly became nervous.
"Madam, may I know what happened to them?"
Mango would not have asked her to investigate Jose and his wife for no reason, and what happened during the day should not have led to such a serious issue. Hence, Haniya felt a little uneasy.
When Mango saw Haniya's worried expression, she sighed and said, "Alas! We can't be sure yet. First, find out where they are staying, who they had interacted with lately, and Jose's bank account transaction records. Once you find out all this information, hand it to me personally. Don't let Desmond know about it. You can tell him that I'm investigating them, but keep the findings to just the both of us. Do you understand?"
Mango didn't say these words directly, but Haniya understood what she was trying to tell her.
"Got it."
"By the way, you look very beautiful with makeup on."
After talking about the serious matter, Mango smiled.
Haniya suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she heard this compliment.
"I am not. I am actually..."
"Well, you're a girl, so you should dress up well. Besides, you are still so young, and you look nice with light makeup on."
When Mango saw Haniya's shy expression, she couldn't help but recall what she was like five years ago.
She was once like that too when she faced Nathaniel.
She wanted to show him only her best sides because she loved him. Hence, she would try to cover her shortcomings because she liked him.
That was the feeling of being in love!
After that, Mango felt nostalgic as she smiled and said, "Love is a beautiful thing, so follow your feelings and desires. Even if you fail to do so, you'll have no regrets because you've tried your best. Love is like sugar. The person who has tasted its sweetness will be filled with happiness. Love is also sour. Alas! You would doubt it because of the people you meet and the incidents that happenn. But this is love, so you will only understand it after experiencing it yourself. Haniya, you need to seize your happiness, understand?"
Haniya suddenly felt that Mango knew something. Otherwise, why would she say these words to her?
Did Mango find out that Desmond kissed her?
Haniya suddenly became shy when she thought about this.
"Madam, I thought about it and decided not to go on a blind date for the time being."
Well, Mango had already expected this answer. However, when she saw Haniya's expression, she couldn't help but wonder whether she and Desmond had made any progress in their relationship.
At this thought, Mango started to feel curious.
"Why? Did Desmond confess to you?"
Haniya quickly shook her head, and there was a trace of desolation in her eyes after hearing this.
"Why don't you go on a blind date since he didn't confess? Urgh! Desmond is like a robot. If you don't stimulate him, he'll probably never confess to you until he dies!"
Haniya was shocked by Mango's words.
"What? Do I need to stimulate him?"
"What else can you do? You have stayed devoted and done so much for him. Desmond does have feelings for you, but he is someone that will express himself. He looks cold and calm on the surface, but he is passionate on the inside."
As Mango shared about this, Haniya recalled Desmond's kiss.
It was indeed passionate!
It was so fiery that she was like on fire and even fainted from the kiss.
However, she was too embarrassed to tell Mango about it.
"Oh hey, look at you. You're blushing! Did Desmond do something to you?"
"No, he didn't do anything!"
Haniya hurriedly shook her head and denied it quickly. She bit her lower lip while her fingers twisted the lower hem of her clothes, but she didn't dare to look at Mango at all.
Hah! Even Mango felt like bullying her after seeing how docile Haniya was, so how could Desmond control himself that well?
Urgh! He could endure his desires well indeed.
After all, he could behave himself and act indifferent with such a lovely girl by his side. Wait, could something be wrong with his body?
"Haniya, do you think there's something wrong with Desmond?"
"What? Huh?"
Haniya looked at Mango in confusion. Then Mango replied, "You see, Desmond and Marissa are childhood sweethearts, and Marissa died for him. Would that have a psychological impact on him, so it caused him to be afraid of touching women?"
"No, that's not possible!"
Haniya quickly refuted Mango's words.
What psychological impact could Marissa's death have on him?
Desmond is shameless!
He asked her to wash his underwear and buy underwear for him. Furthermore, he even kissed her without any reason. If he had a problem, every man in the world would be abnormal.
However, Haniya's quick reply immediately caught Mango's attention.
"Oh, I see. Desmond did something to you."
"No, Madam!"
Haniya was very anxious right now.
Mango was too smart, do Haniya didn't know what to do.
She couldn't keep the secret any longer!
On the other hand, Mango stopped teasing Haniya when she saw that the latter was almost in tears. Instead, she smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I'm just bored and want to hear some gossip, but you guys don't want to tell me anything. Forget it. Go and do what you need to. But be careful and let Desmond know if you need any personnel. It's best to bring a few bodyguards with you when you go out. I know that you're quite skillful now, but don't let your guard down."
"Alright. I'll make a move then."
Haniya went out after organizing her thoughts.
Meanwhile, Mango then looked at her phone with a frown.
Oh, well. It would be fine if Jose didn't disappoint her by making things hard for Desmond.
After leaving the house, Haniya called Desmond.
On the other hand, when Desmond saw Haniya's number flashing on the screen, he smiled slightly and said to the people in front of him, "You can go ahead with the discussion. I need to take this call."
