"Who's calling?"
"Haniya!"
When Desmond's voice rang out, Mango paused. She had wanted to ask Haniya what she had said, but when she remembered that this was Desmond's privacy, she shut up.
However, Desmond told Mango automatically without her asking.
"Haniya wants to meet me at Rose Patisserie at 11 o'clock tomorrow."
Mango frowned slightly when she heard this.
Tomorrow was Lebanon's wedding day, and the whole country would celebrate together. Why did Haniya want to meet Desmond at this time?
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"Yes."
Desmond did not object, which surprised Mango.
As if he could see Mango's confusion, Desmond let out a bitter laugh and said, "Although I've always told myself that Haniya might have her own reasons for treating me like that, I've heard about what happened not too long ago. The death of that servant is truly frightening and chilling."
"You suspect that Haniya is behind this?"
Although Mango was also suspicious of this, she wanted to listen to what Desmond had to say.
Desmond looked outside and seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, he whispered, "I don't know."
It was better to answer this than saying something wrong.
Mango understood his feelings towards Haniya, so she sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Everything will be clear soon. Maybe tomorrow, well know the answers."
"I hope so. I also hope that nothing else will happen tomorrow."
This was everyone's wish.
Soon, Mango left Desmond's room and returned to her bedroom alone.
Nathaniel was no longer there, and the place seemed rather lonely.
Mango sat at the table and pondered. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
At this time, her phone rang.
Mango glanced at the number, which was from abroad and encrypted, and couldn't help but think of Nathaniel and Walter.
Have they arrived so soon?
Mango quickly clicked the answer button, but Thomas' voice came from the other end.
"Madam, save me, save me..."
His voice was breaking up, and after he finished speaking, the call was hung up. By the time Mango called again, it was already impossible to get through.
Why did Thomas call her?
Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.
Before Thomas left, he and Mango were not on good terms because of the baby. To be specific, Thomas couldn't face Mango, so when something happened to him, he should have called Nathaniel or the higher-ups, but why did he call her?
Mango stood up and walked out of her room.
Now that Nathaniel was not here and Lebanon was busy with his wedding and the national banquet, she could only discuss this with Tristan.
Tristan was stunned when he saw Mango, then he walked with her to a quiet place and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"I just received a call from Thomas asking for help."
Tristan's eyes suddenly narrowed at this.
"Are you sure it's Thomas?"
"I recognize his voice."
Hearing Mango's words, Tristan started to ponder.
