Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe

Chapter 70 “What?” Rat exclaimed in surprise as clarity washed over him. No wonder he’s so skilled at fighting. I can’t believe I just messed with someone out of my league. Damn you Mr. Webber for not informing me earlier. I even gave you a beer bottle. “Manny, I’m sorry. It was just a friendly […]

Chapter 69 It was past eleven o’clock, but Emmanuel was not home yet. Mackenzie could no longer remain calm and unaffected. “That man is truly hateful! Didn’t I tell him that he’s to be home by eleven o’clock?” Gritting her teeth, she decided to seek him out and see what exactly he was doing that

Chapter 68 “Please don’t make trouble at our bar, gentlemen!” Before Emmanuel could make his move, the manager strode over with some men. When such an incident transpired, he had the responsibility to make an appearance and handle the matter. The man wearing a gold chain promptly swung a hand and bellowed, “Who do you

Chapter 67 Xylie realized that she had run into a scoundrel. She swiftly spun on her heel to leave. “Haha! Don’t go, pretty!” A lackey wearing a gold chain grabbed her. Licking his lips, he declared, “This is your lucky day! My boss, Rat, has taken a fancy to you! Take a seat and have

Chapter 66 Mackenzie gave Emmanuel a call, only to discover that his phone was turned off. “Sure enough, he’s an idiot! He doesn’t even realize that his phone has died!” Unadulterated anxiety gripped her. The project was exceedingly important, and their competitor, Verkade Group, had set their sights on it. If that project were to

Chapter 65 Panic swamped Milani, for the matter was inextricably linked to her bonus and career. “Shut up!” Emmanuel roared, finding her irritating to the core. Milani’s face went as black as thunder. Argh! How I wish to call him out for a duel! “Contact the craftsman. I want to talk to him!” Emmanuel ordered. Milani deliberately kept silent. “What’s the meaning of this, Milani? Do you want Terence Group to reject the product and have Cloud Construction suffer hundreds of millions in losses?” Emmanuel barked. ミ It was only then that Milani retorted furiously, “You were the one who told me to shut up, Mr. Lowe! Isn’t it rather unreasonable that you want me to speak now?”  “You want to play games with me, huh?” A frown marred Emmanuel’s countenance. Intimidated, Milani relented and hastily huffed with at pout, “Wait a moment. I’ll make the call right away.” What a detestable loser! All he knows is to throw his weight around! Hmph! Shortly after, Milani put down the phone and reported, “The craftsman is now at a bar. He has no time to make a trip over, saying that we can seek him out if we want to talk to him.”

Chapter 64 Emmanuel did not care about what others thought and towed Milani away from the restaurant. “Mom, let’s go too.” Once Roselynn towed the baffled Alessandra away from the restaurant, the Zimmermans were the only ones left, cringing in silence. They shared looks with each other, not knowing what to say. “L–Let go of me!” Milani only snapped back to her senses after getting into the car, and she flung Emmanuel’s hand away. Hmph! Is he trying to take advantage of me? Emmanuel was too preoccupied with his fury to entertain thoughts like those. “Why didn’t you come to me for another blueprint when the original was ruined? Must you foolishly draw another yourself?” Milani did not dare to speak, but she was cold with wrath too. “It wouldn’t be an issue if you were actually skilled enough to do it, but you’re not. I’d like to see what final product you’re going to hand over to them tomorrow after making a mistake with the logo!” Milani hung her head low as Emmanuel berated her, but at the same time, she was biting her lower lip hard. Assh*le! Go on, keep up with the arrogant act! Keep scolding me! Once this is over, I’m going to settle the score with you! A while later, Emmanuel stopped, not seeing the point in chiding her anymore, and turned to look out the window. It was only when both fell silent did the taxi driver finally teased, “I saw you holding hands while getting

Chapter 63 I was the one who designed the logo. Did I do something wrong? “Mr. Zackas, I… I’m in the middle of a meal with Mr. Lowe…” The second those words were out of her mouth, the relatives were stunned. They wondered why Milani, who was supposed to be an impressive woman, was referring to Emmanuel as Mr. Lowe. “Then hurry up and deal with it. If you mess this up, you can forget about the bonus and your position as the supervisor!” Walter screeched. Milani was much paler by the end of the call as she turned to look at Emmanuel in terror. No one had any idea what was going on. Roselynn was the only one who came back to her senses quickly enough to figure out that the arrogant woman had a favor to ask from her brother. “Oh my, Ms. Zimmerman, aren’t you a capable woman who earns millions every year? Why do you look so pale?” Roselynn asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes. Milani was at a loss for words. She could only stare at Emmanuel. “Manny, let’s go.” Roselynn did not know the details of the situation, but she knew that Milani would definitely kneel before Emmanuel and beg for him to stay if she were to lead her brother away at a time like this. Sure enough, Milani lunged over to grab Emmanuel’s arm. Her action left everyone dumbfounded. In fact, Darren even lifted his brow. He knew who Milani was, for he had met her when she

Chapter 62 People were lavishing praise and compliments on them the entire evening, so much so that Milani was puffed up with pride. She would glance at Emmanuel from time to time. I guess he’s aware of the gap in our status now. According to her plan, Emmanuel should be feeling inferior and leave the scene at that point. However, he remained indifferent and emotionless. He was neither angry nor had he ever thought of trying to curry favor with her. Milani began to lose her cool. Fine. Since you have no shame, don’t blame me for humiliating you! Rage took over her as she secretly gave the waiter certain instructions. The heat was then turned up. The Zimmerman family’s relatives and Darren were served gourmet food and fine wine, while all Emmanuel and his family got was some peasant food. Unable to tolerate it anymore, Roselynn was about to pound the table in anger when, to her surprise, Emmanuel acted first and questioned Milani, “What the hell is this?”  The seating arrangement could be regarded as a coincidence. He also could not control it when Milani and Darren wanted to show off their superiority. However, Milani was obviously humiliating him and his family in public by doing so.

Chapter 61 It was obvious what this kind of treatment meant. “Mom, Manny, let’s go!” Unable to stand it, Roselynn wanted to leave even before sitting down. Although the Zimmermans would be paying for the dinner, she could not care less about it after receiving such treatment. Alessandra grabbed her arm to prevent her from losing her temper. Even though her family and the Zimmerman family were not related by blood, the fact that they could find the same matchmaker indicated a connection between them. Besides, they lived near each other, so  it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Milani shot Emmanuel a smug look. Melody and Jacob also looked at him. Why is he still here? He must still want to marry Milani. Haha. We enjoy watching people who don’t know their place make a fool of themselves. Right then, another man in a fancy suit walked in. Milani immediately went up to him and gently held his arm. Her relatives in the room were surprised by the sight. Alessandra was also stunned. I didn’t expect Milani to get a man so soon. “Milani, is he your boyfriend?” “Yeah, who is he?” Milani, who had anticipated such responses from her relatives, gave Emmanuel
