The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 694

Novalee immediately looked around and said, "How shall we excuse ourselves?"

"I'll come up with any excuse as long as you want to leave. I can feel that Dakari is attempting to tackle you. Lemme find another business partner instead. I don't really like this person."

Walter's words made her shocked.

"Emm...l thought both of you got along well with each other."

"Remember, you have to associate with everyone in this field but you don't have to be really close to them. Dakari seems to be my equal, but he's just an empty shell. I'm far better than him."

"Hm..." she said.

Novalee never thought that Walter would say such disgusting words, and her sarcasm irritated Walter.

"You gotta believe in me. You will soon beholden by these famous sayings."

Just when Walter and Novalee were chit-chatting, Dakari entered the room with Zendaya.

"Mr. Song, Miss Zhang, this is my sister, Zendaya Liu."

Dakari said with a grin, and Zendaya followed behind bashfully.

Walter smiled, "We know each other. She is our company's designer."

"Really? That's fate. I had my chefs prepare dinner. Let's celebrate it tonight."

As soon as Dakari finished speaking, Walter replied apologetically, "What a coincidence. I was informed that Mango is gonna arrive soon. Novalee and I will be picking her up from the airport."

"Didn't you mention that she will be coming tomorrow?"

Zendaya's face took on a ghastly expression.

"Who knows? Mango doesn't really follow the rules. I have no choice but to pick her up even if it's late at night. Well, I will do whatever I can to express my love to her."

One could see the love Walter had for Mango through his eyes.

It was the first time that Zendaya had seen it.

Although Walter often looked at Novalee with a gaze of warmth, it was still incomparable.

Jealousy erupted in her chest.

She was nursing a grudge against Mango whom she never met.

Was Novalee telling her the truth?

Was Mango the one whom Walter had fallen in love with?

"Well, I'll go with you then. I'm very curious to see what Ms. Shen looks like."

"I'm sorry. Mango doesn't like strangers picking her up."

Walter directly rejected Zendaya's request. He was annoyed.

Zendaya still wanted to say something, but Dakar! stopped her.

"Zendaya, let Mr. Song do his thing. Well have plenty of chances to meet up in future."

"Dakari!"

Zendaya looked at Dakari with some resentment. How she wished that Dakari would say something to make them stay.

However, Dakari just smiled and asked, "Since you two are busy, shall I ask someone to send you?"

"No, I drove here on my own. Gotta leave now. See you around."

Walter then directly reached out his hand to Novalee.

"Let's go. Don't tell me you plan to stay here? That won't work either. If Mango doesn't see you there, she definitely won't let me off."

Novalee laughed at his sarcasm. He did not seem to be what she thought, and he made her feel safe.

She placed her hand on Walter's and they left together.

Zendaya angrily stomped her feet after they were gone.

"Dakari, what's wrong with you? I thought we had a deal. Just let me know if you don't want to help me, I would have just done it myself."

"Don't worry, silly."

Dakari rolled his eyes and teased, "Look at his clean complexion. He is just a spoiled child spoonfed by his parents who spend money without thinking twice. Even with a great business sense, I don't believe that he is able to withstand my siege. Keep calm. You and I gonna get our wishes soon."

"What do you mean, Dakari?"

Zendaya was puzzled.

Dakari sneered, "Silly, have you forgotten that this place belongs to me? Trust me. His talents can't be put to use here. I have already asked Nixon to surround them. Nobody would know that we did it if they were beaten or robbed."

Zendaya laughed happily.

"I trust you, Dakari. Promise me not to harm him. He is my man."

"Since when has he became yours? Well, he is still a playboy who loves to tackle gals like you. I really can't see what's good about that brat. Apart from having a good background and good looks, there's nothing else that could possibly catch your eye."

Dakari's slander of Walter annoyed Zendaya.

"What about Novalee then? Aren't you still thinking about her? You are no different."

"How can you compare yourself with me? I am a man!"

"Well, fine, let's stop arguing here. I trust Nixon's abilities. I better get myself dressed now. Let's wait for them to bring Walter back."

Zendaya left happily.

Both Walter and Novalee got into their car immediately once they left Winterbourne Lodge.

Novalee breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We've finally escaped. I was afraid that I might get sick if we stayed there any longer. It seems to be depressing whenever I think that our plan can only be carried out only if Dakari said so."

"Not precisely. If I wanted him to continue to be the boss here, he can surely achieve that. On the contrary, if he provokes me, he can be replaced at any time."

Walter's words stunned Novalee for a moment, and she then replied with some contempt, "Can you just stop bragging?"

"I never brag. Just stop talking and fasten your seat belt. Be quick. I don't think Dakari would let us go so easily. He should have a backup plan to harm us."

After all, Walter was a very experienced man.

"What else can he do?"

"I have no idea, but it's always wise to be cautious."

Walter started his car. Soon, he realized that a car was tailing him from behind.

"Well, as I said, Dakari is not giving up on us."
