Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 43

Upon receiving the loan, Emmanuel went to pick up

Alessandra in a taxi.

Emmanuel asked Alessandra when she emerged from

asked Benny for a loan. Moreover, she was hiding the

fact that she was rejected in order for him not to

resent his uncle.

Benny was. Despite the latter’s wealth, he had never

Benny’s family, being cheap, would take whatever they

fancied every time they dropped by Emmanuel’s home

for a visit.
