Chapter 28
For some reason, Emmanuel felt rather awkward when
he nodded at Claudette to greet her.Why would this gorgeous woman address Roselynn soaffectionately, and yet, call me “Dr. Lowe“? That makesit sound as though I’m much older than Roselynn!“Ah, Claudette! We were just talking about you!”Roselynn said while holding Claudette’s hand afterhugging her.The two women appeared to be such good friendsthat Emmanuel couldn’t even tell that they weresuperior and subordinate.“Huh? Talking about me? What were you two talkingabout?” Claudette got a little nervous after hearing that andeyed Emmanuel from head to toe. Fearing that hewould notice, she quickly averted her gaze and triedher best to appear calm.Her only encounter with Emmanuel was when shewent to him for treatment, so her face burned brightred when she recalled that experience.For some reason, she felt as though her bottom wascompletely exposed whenever she was around him.“Manny and I would like to have a look at the banquethall upstairs. Could you bring us there, Claudette?”Roselynn asked.Claudette was both relieved and disappointed at thesame time when she heard that.“Oh, that’s what you two were talking about? Surething!”She agreed to it without any hesitation.“Thanks, Ms. Lenoir. I might be able to find my sister asuitable boyfriend!”Although Emmanuel was dense, he was sharp enoughto crack jokes every now and then.Seeing as Roselynn and Claudette were such closefriends, he figured it would be fine to tell her about hisplans.“Heh… You’re welcome! You know, I can helprecommend some guys to your sister if she’s lookingfor a boyfriend!” Claudette replied with a smile.“That would be great! I’ll be counting on you torecommend any CEOS or handsome male friends tomy sister!” Emmanuel said before Roselynn could evenrespond.“No problem at all!” Claudette promised while makingan “OK” gesture.Roselynn was a little taken aback when she saw thefriendly interaction between Claudette and Emmanuel.The two were even working together to find her ahusband.Why does it feel like Claudette only has eyes forManny? I’m the one she’s close with!“What about you, Dr. Lowe? If I recall correctly, your sister told me that you were struggling to find yourself a girlfriend. Do you need me to recommend you some pretty women from wealthy families?” Claudette askedall of a sudden.Um…Having been caught off guard, Emmanuel fell into anawkward silence when he heard that.Roselynn was just as surprised as he was.That’s strange… I don’t remember Claudette being sofriendly with other guys, let alone offering to get thema girlfriend! Everybody knows that Claudette is a veryambitious woman, so there’s no way she’d have thatmuch time to chat up random guys! Is she beingfriendly to Manny because he’s my brother?“Actually, I’m already married, Ms. Lenoir.”“Huh?” That sudden revelation from Emmanuel shockedClaudette so much that it left her stunned for a goodfew seconds.While Emmanuel and Roselynn were clueless about it,Lexi, who was tasked with keeping an eye onEmmanuel, had noticed something off aboutClaudette’s responses.Hmm… Ms. Lenoir sure seems rather interested in Ms.Mackenzie’s husband! Is Ms. Lenoir in love with him?Heh… If she is, then things are definitely going to getinteresting! Regardless, I should let Ms. Mackenzie seethis!With that in mind, Lexi quickly took pictures of them,thinking of showing Mackenzie the pictures later on.Claudette looked a little angry as she questionedRoselynn, “Have you been lying to me, Roselynn? Youtold me two weeks ago that your brother never had agirlfriend! Why is he already married now?”Roselynn let out a wry chuckle in response. “You’ll haveto ask him about that. I had no idea about it until hetold us a few days ago!”
