The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 966

Mango grimaced.

She knew the consequences of letting Zion come here. Thus, she could not help but doubt if this was Nathaniel's plan.

"Let's talk about this later. I'm a little busy now. Bye."

Mango hung up the phone and had mixed feelings about this.

When the car arrived at Mango's apartment, Rainie woke up.

"Are we here? Urgh... I'm so tired. I'll go in and rest first."

During this period of time, Rainie had gone through harsh training. Now that she finally had some time, she only wanted to have a good sleep.

Mango did not stop her. She asked Haniya to prepare some food for her and went to the study.

There were still many things that Mango needed to learn regarding the zither, so she needed to familiarise herself with them as soon as possible. However, before that, Mango recalled Lebanon's contract and called Clarissa.

"We will refuse Lebanon's contract."

Clarissa was somewhat surprised.

"Ms. Shen, Lebanon has a lot of resources. If we sign it, we'll get a lot of benefits."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, and he must have chosen us for a reason. Lebanon's resources are good, but the entertainment industry will pay attention to us, and his fans will condemn us if anything happens to him. Think about this. The loss outweighs the gain, right? So, just let it go. We can't afford such a big shot in our company."

Mango's words astonished Clarissa, but she quickly understood what Mango meant.

"Okay, I'll contact Alfred."

As soon as Lebanon had finished handling the affairs on the Internet, he received a call from Alfred.

"Illimite Entertainment has rejected our request to sign the contract with them."

Lebanon was astounded for a moment.

He could not help but recall Mango's expression.

She didn't like him at all!

"Got it."

Lebanon did not say anything, which surprised Alfred a little.

"Huh? Are you giving up just like that?

"What else can we do? They treated us with contempt. Urgh! I'm not going to beg her to take me in or something!"

Lebanon lit a cigarette and slowly blew out the smoke.

Alfred could not figure out what Lebanon was thinking.

"What? You were the one who proposed to sign the contract, but now, you're giving up just like this? Lebanon, why did you go to lllimite Entertainment? It's such a small company. Tell me the truth! I'm your agent, so don't try to hide anything from me."

"I have nothing to hide from you, so I can't tell you anything. That's all for now. We'll talk about it later."

After Lebanon hung up the phone, he came to the full- length window and looked at the traffic outside. His mind was still thinking about Mango, who had played the zither.

Mango was so elegant, and he did not want to ruin her.

Maybe he was really selfish.

Lebanon put out the cigarette violently. Then, he went to the study room to turn on his computer. No one knew what he was doing.

After solving Lebanon's problem, Mango felt much

more relaxed.

Although Lebanon was a superstar, he could affect Mango's private life. Thus, this made Mango very unhappy. Moreover, she felt that Lebanon seemed to have other intentions.

Therefore, she decided to forget about his contract!

Mango put these thoughts behind her and began to seriously memorise the different staves of the zither.

As time passed by, Mango felt a little tired. Soon, it was already midnight.

She stretched her body and moved her neck. Then, she got up and went to the bedroom.

Rainie had been resting since she returned, and Mango did not disturb her. She went to her bedroom to take a bath before she saw Nathaniel's message.

"Rest early and don't stay up late. You can't exhaust your body too much."

Mango's heart ached slightly.

She turned off her phone and did not want to reply to his message.

However, when she laid on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep as the bed felt too large and empty.

Mango got up and turned on her computer. She wanted to write something, but she had writer's block.

Thoughts about Nathaniel filled her mind.

Nathaniel's feelings for her were unquestionable. If he wanted to cheat on her, he would have done it a lot earlier! Thus, why was he so close to the woman that night?

Also, why did the woman suddenly die?

Mango did not want to think too much about this. However, recently, she realised that secret that Nathaniel kept for so long could have something to do with her.

She got up to the study and looked at the clock. Zion must have fallen asleep at this time.

However, she could not fall asleep.

Mango planned to use some hacking techniques to look for the recordings on CCTV. However, she found out that the CCTV in the bar that day had been encrypted.

In other words, no one else could track the CCTV recording other than the cryptologist who had done it. However, a talented hacker like Zion could have a go at it.

Mango was annoyed.

She logged out from her computer and went back to the bedroom.

A lot of strange things had happened recently. Why did Nathaniel meet with the woman? Also, why did Lebanon take the initiative to sign a contract with her company? Mango was confused!

She also felt uncomfortable as she felt as if everyone was trying to hide the truth from her.

Mango could not do anything either. She looked at the clock again, and it was already the wee hours.
