Love At The Wrong Table

4

Emmanuel was curious. Mackenzie had never requested him to pick her

up before.

“As your wife, I’m asking you to pick me up. Why are you asking so many

questions?” she retorted.

Emmanuel was rendered speechless and nodded in agreement.

The following evening, Emmanuel arrived on his electric scooter in front of

Azure Business Club, still puzzled by the reason Mackenzie had asked him

to fetch her.

Ever since their signed agreement, this woman had become increasingly

inscrutable to him.

Is she asking me out on a date?

Emmanuel shook his head quickly to dismiss the thought. What nonsense

am i thinking? How outrageous!

Just then, a beauty in business attire emerged from the club.

Her white blouse highlighted her well–endowed chest, which even the

buttons struggled to constrain.

A tight black skirt paired with silver heels flaunted her slender figure

without reservation.

However, what truly made a man’s heart skip a beat were those taut

flesh–colored stockings.

The woman was modestly dressed, yet her attire was provocatively

captivating. As she staggered slightly, she resembled an enchanting

nymph.

It was an enthralling sight to behold.

Upon recognizing her, Emmanuel quickly dismounted his scooter and

jogged to meet her.

To his astonishment, this intoxicated beauty was none other than his wife,

the cold and distant CEO of Terence Group.

She had a dazed look and an unusual blush on her pretty face.

“What’s the matter, Ms. Quillen?” he asked.

At the sound of Emmanuel’s voice, Mackenzie seemed to relax a little.

“Emmanuel! Hurry up! Take me away!”

Hubert had gone mad. The day before, he had set up nine hundred and

ninety–nine roses in Terence Group’s headquarters to confess his love for

her.

The employees were in an uproar, whispering behind her back, though Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

none dared to discuss it in her presence.

Some even started betting on how long it would take Hubert to win her

over or get himself killed.

Tired of the gossip, Mackenzie had no choice but to call her nemesis,

Gautier.

Upon hearing of his brother’s humiliating display, Gautier promptly sent

someone to drag Hubert home.

He also apologized to Mackenzie, admitting that he was unable to control

Hubert. In addition, Gautier suggested that she find a way to nip his

younger brother’s infatuation with her in the bud.

Hence, Mackenzie told Gautier to inform Hubert that she already had a

boyfriend.

Gautier agreed it was a great idea, but it would be useless if Hubert didn’t

see Mackenzie’s boyfriend in person.

It was only for that reason that Mackenzie agreed to have a business chat

with Gautier at Azure Business Club.

Mackenzie had two agendas in mind. Firstly, she wanted to find out if the

mastermind behind her roadside ambush was indeed Gautier. Secondly,

she wanted to let Hubert meet her boyfriend in person and finally give up

on her.

However, she didn’t expect that Gautier didn’t even show up. Instead, only

Hubert excitedly showed up, and she ended up having a few drinks with

the.man.

Around nine, Mackenzie mentioned that her boyfriend was coming to pick

her up and stepped outside. She hadn’t expected the alcohol to hit her so

hard, causing her to stagger in her steps.

Emmanuel swiftly helped Mackenzie onto his scooter just as Hubert

hurried out.

“Mackenzie!” Hubert called out and even jogged to keep up with her.

He hadn’t believed Mackenzie when she said she had a boyfriend. The

sight of a man coming to pick her up on an electric scooter amused him

to no end.

I can understand that the high and mighty Ms. Mackenzie Quillen is trying

to reject me, but why on earth has she chosen someone so… mediocre?

This is ridiculous!

Before Hubert could catch up to them, a gang of ruffians suddenly sprang

up from the shadows, swiftly encircling Emmanuel and Mackenzie.
