"Cecelia, why are you so shameless?"
Rainie was constantly paying attention to Cecelia. When she saw Cecelia coming towards Mango, she immediately took a step forward and protected Mango.
How could Mango allow Rainie to get hurt because of her?
Mango held Rainie's waist and kicked her left foot out.
"Bang!" Cecelia flew out and hit the musical instrument next to her. They heard a clattering sound as both she and the instrument fell to the ground.
Everyone, except Rainie, was amazed by Mango. They had not expected Mango to be this agile.
Mango's eyes turned cold.
She looked at Cecelia and said, "Hey you! I don't care if you uploaded the video, but I can't forgive you if you want to fight with me. Also, we don't have anything against each other right? Even if I replaced Pinksy, why are you the one who's trying to hurt me? Huh? If I didn't respond in time, I would've been disfigured by now! Were you merely seeking justice for Pinksy, or were you jealous because you liked Lebanon? Ha! You know the answer."
Cecelia knew that Mango had found out about her true intentions. Although she was still hurt from the fall, she was even more embarrassed right now!
She subconsciously looked at Lebanon and saw him looking at her with a pair of cold eyes. She could not help but cry.
"Non... nonsense! I did it for Pinksy! Her family is in trouble, but you're the CEO of a company, so what else do you want? You're so disgusting!"
"Haha! Should I know beforehand that Pinksy's family has some difficulties? Or do you mean that if I don't join the recording team, your guys can stop recording and wait for Pinksy? Do you want the whole team to be stuck here for a few days because of her? Huh?"
Mango's words made Cecelia speechless.
Cecelia sobbed as if she had been wronged. On the other hand, Mango looked like her bully.
Ares quickly stepped forward as this situation had gotten out of hand, and he said, "Ms. Shen, please don't be angry. Leave it to me. I promise..."
"Get her out of B City! I don't want to see her again in my life!"
Before Ares could finish his words, Lebanon opened his mouth unexpectedly.
Cecelia could not believe her ears.
Lebanon was well- mannered and courteous on screen. How could he be so cruel?
"Lebanon, I..."
"Shut up! Don't try to call my name!"
Now Lebanon seemed to be possessed by the king of wrath. His image now was completely inconsistent with his personality on the screen.
Cecelia's jaw dropped. Apparently, she was too stunned at Lebanon's two-faced behaviour.
Mango felt sorry for Cecelia.
However, she did not say anything else. She pulled Rainie to take a step back with her and said to Ares, "Ares, I think it should be impossible to record anything today. Rainie and I will go back first."
"OK... sure thing. I'm really sorry for what happened today. Ms. Shen, I'll handle it. Let's continue to do it tomorrow, yeah?"
"Yeah, no problem."
Mango nodded with a smile.
"By the way, I'll compensate you for the broken instruments here. I was too impulsive just now. Sorry."
Mango left the recording studio courteously with Rainie.
Outside the studio, Rainie said angrily, "Cecelia is usually quiet, but I didn't expect her to be despicable. Urgh! You'll be miserable if the video continues to spread. She's really detestable!”
"Well, I guess she couldn't control herself as her prince charming was looking at me affectionately."
Mango was somewhat speechless.
Hearing this, Rainie immediately became interested.
"By the way, what's your relationship with Lebanon?"
"Well, if I tell you that I've got nothing to do with him, and we met for the first time today, will you believe me?"
There was nothing Mango could do about it.
Rainie looked at Mango in astonishment. However, she still believed what Mango had said.
"Huh? Why did he look at you so affectionately when you guys only met for the first time? Have you ever offended him?"
"No! Of course not!"
Mango was more speechless than anyone else.
She told Rainie that Lebanon wanted to sign under lllimite Entertainment.
Rainie frowned slightly after hearing this news.
"Didn't you let Nathaniel investigate his background?"
"There's still no news from him."
Mango sighed.
Rainie's eyes suddenly widened.
"Wait... you went to look for Nathaniel? Have you two reconciled?"
Mango paused for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I just felt that I needed him in this matter. It would be great if he could help me, but if he can't do so, I'll find someone else."
"Um... not bad. You've become smart!"
Rainie was very happy about this.
"Let me tell you one thing. I believe that all men are cheaters. But, to be honest, I really don't think that Nathaniel cheated on you."
Mango did not believe it too.
However, they were both hiding secrets from each other. Thus, she really didn't want to continue this relationship as they did not trust each other anymore.
"Well, alright... When I talk about Nathaniel, you're depressed again. Let's not mention him anymore.
Hmm... why did Lebanon look for you? Besides, you don't know him, but he's helping you so much, and he even looked at you affectionately when you were playing the zither. Although Cecelia made a mistake when she released the video, his feelings in the video can't be fake. You know that Lebanon has a lot of fans. So, it's not good that you're getting so much attention from him..."
How could Mango not be aware of this?
Then, Mango said gloomily, "Argh... we're going out from the back exit. If I'm right, Desmond should be waiting for us there."
Just as Mango finished speaking, Desmond's call came in.
