"Hey, what did Nathaniel say?"
Mango asked the question straightforwardly. After all, Clarissa was someone whom Nathaniel had introduced to her. There was no need for her to be evasive.
Clarissa was astounded for a moment and asked in confusion, "Ms. Shen, are you saying that this is Mr. Ye's idea?"
"Isn't that right?"
Upon hearing Clarissa's tone, Mango noticed that Nathaniel seemed to have nothing to do with Lebanon.
"Hmm... to be honest, I haven't heard anything from Mr. Ye. I'll confirm it with him first."
Since Clarissa said so, Mango naturally understood that this matter had nothing to do with Nathaniel. Coupled with the embarrassing incident with him that night, Mango said quickly, "No, It's okay. Leave this matter to me. Give me the number of Lebanon's manager. I'll talk to him personally."
Even though Clarissa was the director of the company, Mango was the CEO. Therefore, she had to deal with situations like these personally to show her sincerity.
After all, Mango was still flattered as an A-lister was willing to work under her small company.
Upon hearing this, Clarissa quickly gave the number to Mango and asked, "Ms. Shen, maybe I should come along with you?"
"It's fine. I'll can do it on my own."
After Mango hung up the phone, Haniya came back from buying the groceries.
"Madam, are you going out?"
"Yeah. By the way, follow me out if you're free."
Mango picked Haniya as her image was good.
"All right."
Although Haniya did not know why Mango wanted to bring her along, she accepted Mango's invitation .
Both of them went out after they got ready.
Then, Haniya volunteered to drive.
Mango switched on her phone, and she received a message from Clarissa about Lebanon's
information.
Lebanon started his career three years ago as an actor. Then, he became a singer in the showbiz industry recently. His journey in the entertainment industry was smooth, and he had no scandals at all.
In fact, there was nothing suspicious about Lebanon at all.
Mango's brows furrowed slightly.
She knew that under such circumstances, there were only two possibilities. First, Lebanon was an unsullied person. Secondly, his family background was so powerful that no one had the ability to find out about his past.
Mango believed the latter.
Lebanon, an artist who had such a powerful existence, had not been signed by any company for three years. Why did he suddenly come looking out for a small company that had just started up?
If Nathaniel wasn't helping Mango behind her back, she needed to find out why Lebanon had done this.
Mango called Lebanon's agent and arranged their meeting. Then, she hung up the phone.
After all, it would be better to discuss everything in person.
Mango's car stopped at the leisure club.
Mango booked a room and went straight to the room with Haniya.
They had to wait an hour for Lebanon as he was working now. However, Mango did not think much about this. After all, he was an A-lister, so it was normal for his schedule to be packed with different activities.
Haniya poured a cup of tea for Mango skillfully.
"Madam, have a cup of tea, please."
"Well, call me Mango when we're out. I think that it's a waste if you continue to be a housekeeper. From now on, you will be my personal assistant. If you've got any requests about your salary and benefits, just let me know."
Mango took a sip of tea and said indifferently. However, it startled Haniya.
"Personal assistant? Mi... no... Uh, I mean, Mango, you mean that I can be your personal assistant?"
"Huh? You don't want to?"
"No! I'm willing to take this opportunity!"
Haniya replied quickly as she feared that her chance would be gone.
This warmed Mango's heart when she knew Haniya trusted her.
"Aren't you afraid that if the company goes bankrupt, you'll end up having to serve someone else the rest of your life?"
"Haha! That won't happen!"
Haniya's confidence made Mango feel good.
"Since I want you to be my personal assistant, you should take a look at the company overview and understand it clearly before you start working."
"Okay, Mango."
Haniya adapted quickly.
Mango did not have to wait that long either. She would occasionally send a few messages to Rainie to her some interesting things. Sometimes, she would send a WhatsApp message to Emberly and ask her how she was doing recently.
She felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling. However, there would be an occasional emptiness in her heart that she could not get rid out.
When Mango footsteps outside, she knew that Lebanon's agent had arrived.
Mango shot Haniya a glance.
Haniya stood up quickly and walked towards the door.
When the door was opened, a middle- aged woman in her thirties stood at the door. She looked very capable.
"Hello, Ms. Shen. My name is Alfred. I'm Lebanon's manager. I'm in charge of matters relating to Lebanon in the future."
"Hi, I'm Mango! Nice to meet you."
Mango shook hands with Alfred.
After they sat down, Haniya quickly poured a cup of tea for Alfred.
"Thank you."
Alfred, on the other hand, nodded politely at Haniya.
Mango looked at Alfred. The latter did not seem like a person who would make rash decisions. Therefore, Mango could not help but ask, "Alfred? May I ask you a question? I hope that you can give me an honest answer."
"Sure, go ahead, Ms. Shen."
"Why did you want Lebanon to sign under our company? As far as I know, Lebanon has excellent resources. He doesn't need to be tied down to a company at all. He is an A- list celebrity, so why did he want us now? Is there anything wrong?"
