The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 696

Walter seemed to be somewhat surprised.

Novalee was tugging his sleeve not long before as if she was very worried. He couldn't believe that she had spoken on his behalf.

He realized this woman was promisingly clever.

On the other hand, Orion was pondering in silence.

Walter did not urge him. His eyebrows slightly frowned as he drank the wine.

" The wine doesn't taste good at all. Go get me a Lafite in any year from the bar, Novalee."

"Sure."

She had started to admire Walter.

She quickly got up and went out.

Meanwhile, Orion was worried about her. "Mr. Song, Even though this club doesn't belong to Dakari, his men still may come over. What if Miss Zhang meets them?"

"No worries. Novalee is not as stupid as you think."

Orion smiled shyly upon hearing that.

Novalee ordered a bottle of wine as requested by Walter. However, she saw a familiar figure when she was heading back to the room.

It was Zendaya!

Without thinking twice, Novalee decided to follow her.

Zendaya went to another private room.

Novalee saw several men inside. The man right in the middle, with a muscular body wearing a gold chain around his neck, caught her sight. Hmm... he looked nouveau rich indeed.

Zendaya fawned on the man. "Gavin george, you should've spared me some time to dress up before coming."

"You look incredibly good even without dressing-up."

The man, Gavin George had a coarse voice.

Based on the accent, Novalee found out he wasn't a local. Perhaps, he was a foreigner just like Walter.

So why was Zendaya here for?

Dakari ordered his men to ambush two of them not long ago. Now, Zendaya was here to meet up with this so-called Gavin. She felt that something was not right.

She left instantly with the wine in her hand.

Inside the room, Walter and Orion had been talking about other unimportant things.

Novalee tugged Walter's cuff.

Walter realized that Novalee seemed very feminine now.

"Yes?" He smiled as he asked.

"I have something to tell you."

Novalee whispered.

Meanwhile, Orion turned on the karaoke machine.

The music soon overpowered Novalee's voice.

"What is it?"

Walter couldn't hear her well.

Novalee had no choice but to shout in Walter's ear, "I have something to tell you."

Orion happened to see this when he turned around. He smirked, "Seems like the two of you are madly in love. You should sing a song together, right?"

For the sake of Novalee's safety, Walter wasn't going to explain much as that may somehow embarrass her. People might respect her and treat her kindly only when they thought that she was his girlfriend.

After all, most of the men that came here were looking to satisfy their lust.

Novalee felt uneasy. She wished to explain, but Walter held her hand firmly and said, "Okay, let's sing a song together. I am tone-deaf, but don't you dare laugh at me."

He pulled Novalee up as he spoke.

I cant sing.

Novalee was ashamed.

"Chill out. I've heard you sing before. You're good at it. Who else do you wanna sing with if not me?"

He used this way to tell others that Novalee belonged to him and that he wouldn't let her sing with another man.

Among Orion's friends, he could feel that there were two guys who had intentions towards Novalee.

He was asked by Mango to take care of Novalee. Therefore, he couldn't imagine the consequences if something happened to Novalee. On top of that, he liked her decent personality as well.

However, what Walter didn't know was that only lovers sang songs together in Novalee's hometown.

Hence, she was slightly embarrassed.

"I can't do it, Walter."

"You shouldn't reject my offer. Come with me."

Novalee could not understand the message in Walter's eyes.

Her brain failed to work properly as if she had used up all her intelligence.

"Well..."

"Why don't we sing 'Somebody Else' ?"

As soon as Walter finished speaking, Orion laughed.

"Mr. Song, this song seems to be inauspicious. Why don't you sing 'Best of My Love'?"

"Only you know how to sing such an antique song, Orion."

Walter smiled and pulled at Novalee's hand.

Novalee could tell that she had to sing the song no matter what. Alas, she must inform him about Zendaya and Gavin, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "Will you come home with me if I sing the song?"

Orion and the others were amused by what they had just heard.

"Mr. Song, Miss Zhang wants some alone time with you."

"What can I do? I am way too attractive."

Walter's words almost made Novalee faint.

Seeing that Novalee was about to lose her temper, Walter replied instantly, "Okay, we'll leave after this song. Boy, I haven't seen you in such a hurry before."

Hearing this, the others laughed once again.

Novalee felt that her face had gone as red as a ripened tomato.

She glared at Walter and was forced to look for a song. Then, she found a song from her hometown.
