The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 683

It was Novalee!

Walter had the urge to just turn around and leave the moment he saw Novalee.

At the thought of this, he intended to walk away, but Mango grabbed him in an instant.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Mango gestured.

"Yeah, I did! That fierce b*tch is coming our way and as a gentleman, I don't want to fight nor interact with her. Right, I'll talk to you later."

Walter rushed away in a hurry.

Novalee saw Walter's silhouette, and she said disdainfully, "Ms. Shen, did he bother you again? Why is this pretty boy so thick-skinned?"

The corners of Mango's lips curled up into a smile.

It seemed that Novalee would never stop addressing Walter as a "pretty boy".

"What are you doing here?"

Mango felt somewhat upset as she had told Novalee not to address her as Ms. Shen but to call her by her name many times, yet Novalee never listened to her and argued that she ought to follow the company's regulations.

Novalee took out a proposal with a solemn expression and said with a smile, "Ms. Shen, please take a look at my investment plan and prospectus."

Mango could tell from Novalee's expression that she was very passionate about the business.

"I don't have the time to deal with these issues... Well, I can recommend you a person who has lots of experience in this field so you can refer to him."

Novalee's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing Mango's words.

"Really? Who is the expert? Ms. Shen, you are so kind to me! Don't worry, I will be sure to handle this properly."

"Alright, I'll tell him to contact you, so you should go back first."

Then, Novalee left happily.

Mango returned to the ward and chatted with Nathaniel for a while before she received a message from Noah that Genevieve would be coming over shortly. Furthermore, he told her that Genevieve might have some suggestions for Nathaniel's operation.

Mango became very excited, and she was looking forward to it.

Nevertheless, she thought that she should take care of Novalee's problem beforehand.

So, she invited Walter for dinner, and her initiative took Walter by surprise.

"Did I hear you correctly? You want to treat me to a meal? Did something happen to you today?"

Walter was excited, but he still wanted to tease Mango.

"Come on, it's not like I have been harsh to you. If that was really the case, why do you still keep pestering me?"

Walter smirked and spoke in response to Mango's accusation. "I'm just fond of self-abuse, is that a problem?"

"Alright, I'm inviting you for dinner today because I need your help."

"I knew it! I knew that you would never treat me to a meal for no reason, and it's always when you need help. Seriously, why can't you invite me for dinner just because you want to see me? I'd be so touched that way!"

Walter complained but Mango pursed her lips and smiled as she gestured, "Of course I can't do that. You're already bothering me despite me not doing anything, so if I touched your heart, I'm afraid that I'll have to avoid you all the time." "Fine! I won't accept your invitation, and neither will I help you. At least I won't scare you away, princess!"

Having said that, Walter got up and left, but Mango immediately grabbed his sleeve.

He turned his head and smiled when he saw that Mango was looking at him with a helpless expression.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling to let me go? Listen to me, Nathaniel has no idea what you are doing now, so why not you leave him for a moment and have a good meal with me? I'll promise you anything after that."

Mango felt uneasy after hearing Walter's words, but she nodded at the thought of her plan and gestured, "Okay, I'll go with you. You can choose the location."

"Awesome!"

Walter was elated and he immediately pushed all affairs aside before driving Mango to the mountains.

There was a farm here called the Pickwick Lodge Farm.

Mango had no clue how Walter found this place, but she enjoyed the scenery.

She took a deep breath when they arrived at the location.

Ah!

She felt refreshed!

"How's the location? It's not bad, isn't it?"

Walter asked eagerly.

Mango smiled and gestured, "The scenery is not bad, but who knows if the dishes are tasty?"

"You'll know after trying them, let's go!"

Them, Walter held Mango's hand as they walked in.

There weren't many guests and most of them came in small groups, but the ambiance was warm and cozy.

Walter pulled Mango to a seat next to the window so that they could see the hot springs and the unique scenery behind them.

Then, a waiter came over within seconds to take their order.

Mango left it to Walter to choose the dishes.

A few moments later, the food was served, and they were all unique local delicacies.

Mango felt hungry as she looked at the appetizing dishes.

"Quick, have a try."

Walter urged her like an excited puppy.

Then, Mango picked up her chopsticks and took a
