Love At The Wrong Table

Gautier’s arrangement today was incredibly clever. Needless to say, the setting was beautiful. Moreover, the dining area was strategically placed in a public space, yet far enough from other customers.

This way, there were plenty of people around who could observe them and witness their reactions, but couldn’t overhear their conversation.

“Mr. Verkade, I apologize. You spoke for quite a while just now. I can’t recall what you said. What exactly is your position?” Emmanuel apologized.

Mackenzie couldn’t help but smile. Emmanuel was clearly mocking the other party’s pretentiousness. If Gautier truly wanted to make friends, he wouldn’t need to showcase such a lengthy title in his introduction.

Emmanuel’s little trick seemed to have exposed Gautier.

“Mr. Lowe, just call me Gautier.”

“I’m Emmanuel Lowe, the current Deputy Head of the Business Department at Terence Group, and the husband of the CEO of Terence Group. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Emmanuel mimicked Gautier’s words, even prolonging his introduction before shaking hands with him.
