The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 993

Nathaniel let a bitter smile. He had been the one scheming his enemies for years, but now, he had actually fallen into someone else's trap!

He did not bother hiding as the footsteps were getting closer. Instead, he took out a cigarette and lid it.

He had only taken a few puffs of his cigarette when the door opened.

The other party obviously never expect Nathaniel to be here, but the police who followed in the back was more or less stunned.

"Mr. Ye?"

"What's going on?"

Nathaniel still asked this question even though he knew what was happening.

The police whispered, "Someone said there was a murder case here and got us to check it out."

"Alright, go ahead then."

Nathaniel did not say anything anymore.

The police checked on Alfred's breathing and frowned.

"Mr. Ye, urn... I'm really sorry. I'm afraid you have to go with us." "Alright."

Nathaniel was very cooperative.

He said with a wry smile, "Do I need to be handcuffed?"

"There's no need. We know you well, and I'm sure that you won't run away."

After saying this, the police took Nathaniel away.

There were many reporters outside, and they rushed forward when they saw him coming out with the police.

"Mr. Ye, what's going on? Did you have a grudge with the victim?"

"Mr. Ye, when did you come? Was he still alive when you came in?"

The reporters started firing a series of harsh questions at him.

However, Nathaniel just sneered in response.

Alfred was dead just as he went in. Plus, reporters were waiting for him outside now. Thus, he was sure that someone had planned this entire incident carefully.

The police still carried out their duties, and they blocked the reporters from getting close to him.

"Sorry, we haven't found out the truth of this case yet, so we'll not be accepting any interviews for now. Thank you."

The policemen took Nathaniel away just after he said these words.

Mango felt a bit depressed when Nathaniel hadn't returned even though she had waited a long time. When she called him, she found out that his phone was turned off too.

Urgh! What was Nathaniel up to now?

Rainie knew what happened to Nathaniel, and she was anxious now.

Would Mango run out impulsively if she knew that something happened to Nathaniel?

Rainie was even bothered when she thought of the wounds of Mango's body.

"What's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

Mango had known Rainie for such a long time. Thus, she couldn't help but ask when she saw how anxious Rainie was.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Rainie tried her best to calm herself down, but she failed to do so. After all, she would think about Nathaniel every time she looked at Mango.

"I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

“The toilet."

Rainie ran out after giving Mango a terrible excuse.

Mango didn't think much about it, and she thought that perhaps Rainie had some private problems to deal with. Even if Rainie decided to not tell about it now, she would still find out about it later.

Then, she took her laptop and started working.

Her film and entertainment company had been delivering good results lately.

The newbies had gotten some new endorsements and scripts. Although they were not delivering excellent results now, they were already off to a good start in their career.

Then, Mango sent a message to Clarissa.

"Look out for managers recently and hire two if there are suitable ones. I'm afraid you can't handle everything on your own."

"Alright."

Clarissa's reply was clear and quick.

"Ms. Shen, I think that our company is still small, so I don't think experienced managers will choose to work with us. Perhaps we could train one of our new staff to take over the role in the future?"

Mango agreed to Clarissa's proposal.

"Okay, it's up to you. You can raise any ideas that you think of, and we can discuss them further."

"Alright."

Clarissa was very grateful that Mango gave her a certain amount of authority.

After that, Mango continued asking Clarissa about some problems that were happening in the company. After all, she decided that they needed to build up her company's brand and reputation for now.

That meant that she had to spend a lot of money to sign contract with a popular star.

Mango couldn't help thinking of Lebanon right now.

However, she shook her head immediately at this thought.

It was clear that Lebanon wanted something from her. If she signed a contract with Lebanon now, she would have to face a lot of trouble in the future.

Thus, Mango abandoned this idea at this thought.

Clarissa was hesitant when she knew that Mango wanted to sign a contract with a famous artist.

"Ms. Shen, our company is small, so the famous stars might not come. Besides, we might not be able to afford their pay even if they did."

Clarissa was telling the truth.

Mango sighed slightly after hearing this.

"Well, let's talk about this later."

"Got it."

Clarissa was even grateful when Mango did not reject her opinion.

After all, it was rare for her to meet such an open-minded boss.

Mango wanted to end this conversation after she finished her words. But Clarissa paused for a moment and said, "Ms. Shen, um... I'm not sure whether I should tell you this."

"What is it? Go ahead."

Mango thought that it had something to do with the company, so she asked.
