Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 259

Emmanuel was driving an electric scooter, so there was no way he could

have caught up to Quintus‘ car.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Mackenzie and Quintus were already

seated at the table, loaded with alcohol. The alcohol they ordered was so

costly, with the most expensive glass priced at his entire year’s worth of

salary each.

As expected, Quintus was one of the ultra–rich.

“Haha, Emmanuel! Come, let me introduce you two. This is my idol and best

friend, Miss Mackenzie Quillen.” He then proudly bragged, “You’re lucky, brat.

Ms. Quillen is the goddess of nearly everyone in Yeringham. Most men can

only ever dream of meeting her.”

There was a conflicted twist in Emmanuel’s smile as he silently looked at

Mackenzie. She scoffed and turned away to avoid looking at him.

As Quintus did not know of their relationship, he tried to reassure Emmanuel

and said, “Don’t take it to heart. She’s just that cold. It’s not because she

dislikes you.”

That only intensified Emmanuel’s urge to laugh. After all, Mackenzie actually

disliked him.

However, he did not say a word about his relationship with her to Quintus,

mostly because their relationship was shaky.

Emmanuel chose to sit right across from Mackenzie, making it impossible for

her to avoid looking at him.

Claudette soon arrived. “I’m here!” she cried out as she entered.

“Ah, just in time!” Quintus said with a laugh.

He was so very happy to see her. Then, he promptly dragged her over to sit

down beside Emmanuel. “Since it’s just going to be the four of us tonight, and

we have equal numbers of men and women, why don’t we have a match to

see who was the best at holding their drink?”

He thought that once they were all drunk, he would stand a chance at

gaining a perfect accident with Mackenzie.

He also knew that Claudette liked Emmanuel. If those two got drunk as well,

she could seal the relationship with one night.

Claudette did mention that Emmanuel was taken, but that did not matter. He

would know just how amazing she was sooner or later. Then, he would dump

that girlfriend to get together with Claudette.
