Chapter 186
However, neither Emmanuel nor Quintus seemed to realize that.
“Hey! Hey!” Seeing that the Bentley was getting further away despite his
shouting, Emmanuel became anxious and floored the pedal again. He even
told Quintus to secure his helmet properly and sit tight.
“Haha! Your riding skills are incredible!” The faster Emmanuel drove, the more
excited Quintus became, and he loudly praised the former. Who would’ve
thought that the random guy I stopped would turn out to be a professional
electric scooter racer?
“I don’t mean to throw cold water on you, but that woman you’re chasing
doesn’t seem interested in you,” Emmanuel remarked. He was not a fool.
Upon seeing the Bentley fleeing as they gave chase, he immediately
guessed what was going on.
“If you knew who was in that car, you wouldn’t make fun of me,” Quintus
replied proudly.
“Who is she?”
“The daughter of the Quillen family and the most beautiful woman in
Yeringham!” Just saying it filled Quintus with pride. After all, not many men
were qualified to pursue such a woman.
“Oh, it’s her!”
Hearing the tone of Emmanuel’s response, Quintus could not resist asking,
“Oh? Do you know her too?”
“Nope. She’s my wife’s boss, and I heard she’s something else. She has never
dated and keeps everyone at arm’s length.” Emmanuel shook his head. Even
my wife is already as cold as ice, so that lady boss of hers must be even
more so, right?
“Haha! Indeed! If it were easy to pursue her, I wouldn’t be having such a hard
time trying to catch up to her. However, I assure you I’ll definitely succeed,”
Quintus declared confidently.
“In that case, I wish you good luck,” Emmanuel said sincerely. He sensed that
the both of them would get on like a house on fire.
The Bentley drove into Terence Group’s parking lot, and Emmanuel finally
followed it all the way to the entrance on his electric scooter.
“Ms. Quillen has entered the office building, so I won’t go in with you. Best of
luck!” he said as he let Quintus get off the scooter.
“Okay!” With that, Quintus hopped off immediately.
Furrowing his brows slightly, Emmanuel could not refrain from asking, “That’s
quite impressive. Did you used to be in the army?”
“You have a sharp eye. I was part of the Ferocious Tigers stationed at the
southern region’s border. I only just retired and returned to Yeringham last
year,” Quintus answered proudly.
“I see.” That made Emmanuel feels as though they had an instant
connection. The Wolf Warriors from the north and the Ferocious Tigers from
the south are Chanaea’s renowned vanguard forces on the battlefield.
They’ve rendered countless meritorious acts on the battlefield. If I didn’t have
to rush off to my part–time job, I’d definitely buy this guy a drink.
Quintus was also in a hurry to find Mackenzie. Otherwise, he would have
invited Emmanuel to have a drink together. However, it was now time for the
two men to part ways.
He dashed into Terence Group, ignoring the security guard’s attempts to stop
him. He was determined to see Mackenzie.
When Wally saw that, he rushed forward to block his path.
As Mackenzie’s driver, it went without saying that he was rather skilled.
However, Quintus was still able to get past him easily.
Mackenzie was sitting inside the branch’s office when she heard the
commotion outside. Looking up, she saw Quintus barge into the room and
stand upright before her like a mountain.
“My apologies, Ms. Quillen! I couldn’t stop him,” Wally said as he hurried over.
With a smug expression, Quintus chuckled and said, “Ms. Quillen, allow me to
make things clear. I’m not cut from the same cloth as that good–for–nothing
Hubert. It’s not that easy to stop me.”
The next moment, she turned her cold gaze toward him. It felt like a burst of
chilly air, and it instantly made him fall silent like he was frozen.
“What do you want, Mr. Lenoir?”
“Mackenzie, I’m here on very important business! It’s related to the rest of my
life and whether or not Lenoir Group can suppress Verkade Group in
Yeringham in the future.” Following his impassioned explanation, he changed
the topic and said, “I have two concert tickets. They’re incredibly hard to
come by. I want to invite you to the concert with me tomorrow night.”
She could not help sneering at that. “So, that’s your so–called important
business involving your future and the fate of your family?”
