Chapter 500
Nanette was a bit surprised Manley had asked her out quite a few times already, but he never made a move or confessed any feelings. Now their relationship was kind of awkward Was he finally going to make it official?
She blushed and started talking sounding both sincere and a bit boastful like a teenage girl, “My dad once took me to a charity event, I saw Jonathan from afar. Just as people said he was handsome and wealthy but
She said. “Of course, in my heart Mr Scott is better if both of you pursued me. I would definitely choose you, Mr. Scott
Manley chuckled softly stiring his tea as he mumbled to himself “Anyone would know who to choose, except this silly girl
“What Nanette asked
“Nothing” Manley leaned against the sofa, gazing lazily out of the window. His side profile was stunning
Nanette couldn’t help but feel her heart race and finally spoke up softly. “Mr Scoff
Yeah Manley turned to look at her
Nanette bit her lip. Yesterday my dad asked me what our relationship was?
She couldn’t help it, wanting to solidify their relationship Manley kept initiating their dates and even took her to a dessert shop that girls would adore, he must like her, night?
Manley laughed. What did you tell your dad”
Nanette blushed said were friends”
Manley nodded Yeah we’re just friends”
anette stared at him blankly

Yes. Ms Macclain donated her share of the dividends to the school project! The store manager had been holding this secret in her heart for so long, wishing to tell everyone about their boss’s deeds, but Estelle never allowed her to use that for marketing
Manley felt a bit annoyed, but couldn’t help feeling compassion for her as well. She really was a fool!
Nanette cautiously asked. “Who is the shop’s boss? Who is Ms. Macclain?”
“An idiot gr
Manley snapped and turned to leave
Nanette didn’t know who Ms Macclain was but she could tell that even though Manley seemed angry, there was a special kind of affection in his tone.
