Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 60

Chapter 60 “Milani’s family, of course.” Alessandra explained, “Her mother, Melody, had come to me directly to invite me to a celebratory dinner, as her daughter had been promoted. She was so enthusiastic about the prospect that I could not refuse, especially since I knew that Melody would call me petty if I did not accept the invitation.” Emmanuel rolled his eyes. Mom is naive. It is obvious that Milani’s family is up to no good. Nevertheless, I had gone on a blind date with Milani before and worked alongside her on a project. Now that the project is complete, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse to attend a party she’s holding to celebrate. Mom has agreed to be there, anyway. I don’t want to go against her wishes. At that moment, Beatrix and Lexi were seized by a sense of panic in the office of Terence Group. To their horror, they discovered a mistake in the strategic warehouse’s logo! One of the details was supposed to have four horizontal lines, but only three lines were present. This discrepancy did not abide by the initial design, making it an unacceptable error. “How could Cloud Construction make such a stupid mistake?” Beatrix demanded angrily. When Beatrix began her new job, Mackenzie tasked her with a very important project. She couldn’t believe that her efforts were foiled by an unforeseen error. “What is wrong with Cloud Construction? Ms. Quillen […]

Chapter 59 With that, Mackenzie stood up, her face devoid of expression. Emmanuel instantly leaped to his feet and raced to guard his plate of pasta. The pasta looked really delicious, and the plating was perfect. Every noodle was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauces and garnishes were artistically arranged on the plate. Emmanuel found himself silently admiring her for her thoughtfulness. If he had been the one responsible for preparing the pasta, he doubted he would have taken the extra step to make sure it was presented nicely. Mackenzie was amused to see him gulping down the plate of pasta in two mouthfuls. She remarked icily, “Did you go to inspect a project, or were you recently released from jail? Why were you famished?” “Inspecting a project is more tiring than going to jail!” After clearing the plate, Emmanuel licked his lips, obviously wanting more. He gave her a thumbs–up and a wide grin. “This is amazing! You’re an incredible cook, way better than me.” Mackenzie’s lips curled slightly, but her smile quickly slipped away. She retorted, “Even if you flatter me, that doesn’t mean I’ll make it for you again. By the way, how is the project progressing?” “Everything is going well. After the logo is done, they

Chapter 58 Milani thought Emmanuel was ordering her around again and clenched her teeth in annoyance. She couldn’t say no to the change as the technicians had discussed it during the meeting and verified that the alteration could still be implemented. Despite feeling like she was working for Emmanuel, she had to accept the design and nodded silently with her cheeks puffed up. “Thanks for today. Bye!” After getting his work done, Emmanuel left with Lexi. “F*ck you, b*stard! Just you wait. I’ll get revenge soon!” Milani vowed angrily as she held the flash drive in her palm. She still thought that Emmanuel was just a third party who would receive a commission upon the completion of the project. On the other hand, her position as a project supervisor meant that she not only would receive a bonus for the completion of the project but would also use it as a steppingstone for further career advancement. Given the circumstances, Emmanuel was no match for her. I can’t wait to turn the tables after the project comes to an end! To her shock, she felt the flash drive slipping from her grasp as she was squeezing it too forcefully, and it fell into a cup. “Ah! Sh*t, I’m doomed!” Milani

Chapter 57 “Oh? Mr. Lowe, you’re the person in charge of the project?” Walter took his hand warmly. “Uh, yes. Nice to meet you,” Emmanuel replied after giving Lexi a quick look. “Mr. Lows, welcome to the inspection! I should be accompanying you, but I have an important meeting to attend. I’ll arrange for the project supervisor to bring you around!” “Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zackas “I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for understanding Please wait in the VIP reception roorn!” Water was incredibly thankful that Emmanuel had such on agesable personality. Soon, Milani made her way to the general manager’s office hastily. The sight of Emmanuel enjoying the air conditioner and delicious food in the VIP reception room made her grit her teeth in anger. Ha! That b*stard must be here by assuming someone else’s authority as his own. Look how he is lying through his teeth to swindle for food and drinks! Milani cursed inwardly before entering the general manager’s office. “Mr. Zackas, you asked to see me?” she asked, flashing a sweet smile. Her attitude did a one–eighty. Walter was busy preparing the documents for his meeting. Without looking up, he ordered, “Ah, yes. Terence Group’s person in charge is here, so please take care of that person on my behalf.” “Okay!” Milani replied eagerly. The project is about to be completed soon, so I’ll be getting a well–deserved promotion and an impressive three hundred thousand bonus. By then, I plan to throw an unforgettable party to show off my success! I must invite that useless Emmanuel so he’ll see the difference

Chapter 56 No matter what, I’ll have to confront her tonight and get a confirmation. Having made up his mind, Emmanuel went home after getting off work and waited for Mackenzie’s return anxiously. To his frustration, Mackenzie came home later than usual, not arriving until half past ten. “Ms. Quillen, you came home later than usual today, huh?” Emmanuel broke the silence. Mackenzie was busy. She gave her husband a grunt instead of a verbal response. Obviously, she was going to grab her pajamas, take a shower, and go to bed. Emmanuel knew she would sleep at eleven sharp, so he stood in front of her, blocking her path. “What is it?” Mackenzie frowned. “Ms. Quillen, you promised to pay my family a visit, so my mom has gone out of her way to make all the necessary arrangements, even inviting our relatives. If you were to suddenly change your mind and not come, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her.” After a pause, he added, “If you don’t keep your word, I’ll have no choice but to let your grandpa know.” Mackenzie scoffed in disdain. Everyone knows I hate being threatened. I can’t believe he’s so bold to threaten me! Despite the fact that she had made a commitment to go and visit his family earlier, she changed her

Chapter 55 Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the company to work. She was feeling down in the dumps because she was worried about the compensation amount. In fact, she did not sleep well the last two nights. Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and promised he would find a solution, she could not help but worry. She feared Derek might confront her that day and make a police report because she could not afford to pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job, which would make things worse. Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel before Derek in hopes the latter would forgive her. “Ma’am!” Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after she clocked in. Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!” “I want to talk to you about the laptop and the phone

Chapter 54 Emmanuel thanked her immediately, “Thank you! Whether it works or not, I’m grateful to you.” Mackenzie put on a disdainful smile. Hmph. Derek will definitely listen to me. Regardless, she simply murmured a reply before ignoring Emmanuel. Go on and treat other women to meals. Wait. Didn’t I swear not to help him anymore? Why did I agree to his request? Ugh! I swear I won’t help this idiot next time! The next day, Derek was summoned to the headquarters. He felt extremely nervous, thinking Alessandra had put him in great trouble. After all, Mackenzie’s temper was known by everyone in Terence Group. He figured he was going to be reprimanded harshly for being unreachable yesterday and also for being a day late in submitting the data she wanted–the data he had stayed up all night to redo. Getting reprimanded was still fine. He feared Mackenzie would fire him out of anger since several managers had been fired in the past because of the same thing. “M–Ms. Quillen.” Derek knocked on the door and entered the CEO’s office. He stood straight with his head lowered like a little boy who made a mistake. “Hello. Where’s the

Chapter 53 Everyone in Terence Group knew how terrible Mackenzie’s temper was. Not only was she indifferent, but she was also heartless. She hated people who came up with excuses for their mistakes more than anything else. Derek was furious, thinking it was all Alessandra’s fault. D*mn it! I must rip her off! I won’t rest until I get my money! In the meantime, Alessandra was still panicking even after arriving home. She wondered if she should tell her children about the incident. After asking the neighbors, she found out it would cost at most a few thousand to fix a computer and a phone. Hence, she thought of borrowing money from others. Perhaps this can be resolved. I don’t want to make my children worry again. Soon, Derek’s call came. “What? Twenty thousand?” Alessandra almost passed out from shock when she heard the number. “Mr. Schwartz, h–how could it be so expensive?” “Hmph! Expensive? I can’t retrieve the data from my devices, which affects the company’s project. We could lose tens of millions, and I haven’t even taken into account that amount! If you’re not willing to pay, I’ll file a police report. We can settle this in court.” Derek vented all his anger on Alessandra. He purely focused

Chapter 52 They were in the company building, and many employees were passing by the conference room. Hence, Derek helped Alessandra up first. “I–I’m fine.” 1/8 Alessandra could not care less about her pain. She hastily wiped the table and took out a cloth to wipe the laptop and phone. “Stop! I’ll do it!” Derek quickly shoved her away, making her stagger a few steps backward. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Schwartz. I–I didn’t do it on purpose,” Alessandra apologized profusely. For someone from a less well–to–do family, ruining someone’s valuables would only make their situation worse. She was hoping she did not have to pay for the losses, but Derek examined his devices and said grimly, “Ma’am, my laptop’s motherboard is fried, and my phone isn’t lighting up. You’ve got to compensate me.” “I–I…” Alessandra paled, unable to form a complete sentence. All she could do was bow and apologize. She only wanted to earn some money to help lessen Emmanuel’s burden

Chapter 51 When the interview was over, Beatrix rushed to the headquarters and barged into Mackenzie’s office. “What’s up? Do you have something to report?” Mackenzie looked up. Her expression was cold. “Hehe. Guess who I interviewed today?” Beatrix approached her happily. “I’m not interested in guessing. Just spit it out if you have something to say,” Mackenzie snapped as she continued doing her work. Fortunately, Beatrix had expected that reaction from Mackenzie. In fact, the former was used to it. Regardless, she announced excitedly, “I interviewed Emmanuel!” “What?” Mackenzie immediately looked up. In the past, Beatrix would not believe Mackenzie had someone she cared about, not to mention the person was a man. Oh, shoot! Judging by Mackenzie’s reaction, Beatrix had a feeling that she was at risk of losing her bet with Lexi. “Aren’t you hiring a part–timer to help you with the projects? Why did he come for the interview?” asked Mackenzie curiously. Chuckling, Beatrix responded, “Maybe Emmanuel is short of money.” Noting the change in Mackenzie’s expression, Beatrix suddenly added, “By the way, I asked him and it turned out that he wasn’t
