Chapter 258
As if having a psychic intuition, the two of them, standing 100 meters apart,
almost simultaneously noticed each other. Emmanuel wanted to greet her,
but the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t utter them.
“Mackenzie!”
At that moment, Quintus suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wearing a smile
on his face as he approached them.
Emmanuel froze on the spot, after which a bad feeling washed over him.
Could it be that Quintus‘ super pretty woman is my own wife? So, I helped
him chase after my own wife on my electric scooter through the streets?
Oh no!
Mackenzie had been keeping her attention on Emmanuel the whole time and
couldn’t help but find his expression amusing.
That idiot should have finally figured out the truth, right?
But even though she found it amusing, she maintained her icy demeanor on
the surface.
“Quintus, what do you want this time?” Mackenzie was unusually proactive,
which surprised Quintus.
“Mackenzie, I’ve reserved a luxurious private club VIP room for tonight. Let’s
have a drink and relax there?” Quintus started going through the motions
again.
He knew very well that Mackenzie had agreed to attend the party yesterday
because she was in a bad mood, but she left halfway through. Tonight, no
matter what, she probably won’t agree to my invitation!
To his surprise, Mackenzie glanced at Emmanuel and immediately agreed.
“Okay, you’ll drive me there tonight, then!”
Huh? What the hell?
Quintus felt like he had hit the jackpot!
She actually accepted my invitation and even wanted to get into my car
willingly. Look at that! Look at that! Who said being a lapdog is useless? As
long as one keeps at it, one will eventually be able to bring one’s dream girl
home!
Seeing Mackenzie getting into Quintus‘ car, Emmanuel lost all enthusiasm for
work.
How could this be happening? Could it be that Mackenzie was just playing
with me all along? Now that a handsome and wealthy man is pursuing her,
she casually dumps me?
Emmanuel felt suffocated and couldn’t breathe properly. After thinking about
it, he decided to call Beatrix.
“Hello, Ms. Beatrix, I’m feeling a bit unwell today and would like to take a day
off!”
“Sure, take the day off! Go and do what you think is important!”
Beatrix’s voice sounded anxious because she was currently standing on the
top floor of the Terence Group headquarters, overlooking the scene below.
For some reason, even though she knew deep down that Quintus was the
suitable match for her sister, she secretly shipped her sister with Emmanuel.
“Oh, okay!”
Emmanuel felt that Beatrix was acting a bit strange, but he didn’t have the
time to think about it.
In the next moment, he called Quintus.
“Hey, Quintus! I’m free tonight. Let’s go for a drink!”
Upon hearing Emmanuel’s words, Quintus was stunned. What’s happening
tonight? Why am I so lucky? It seems like I can ask anyone to do anything I
want!
Since Emmanuel insisted on coming, Quintus agreed and hung up the phone.
Then he quickly called his sister, Claudette.
“Hey, Claudette! I managed to arrange for Dr. Lowe to meet you. Get yourself
ready and come to the VIP Room 888 at Lux Club!”
“Huh? Okay!”
Claudette was momentarily surprised but quickly agreed. This time, it was
her brother who arranged the meeting with Emmanuel. So, her encounter
with them could be considered a coincidence, right?
Mackenzie sat in the passenger seat of Quintus‘ car, silently observing the
man’s performance.
Knowing that both Emmanuel and Claudette would be joining the game, she
gently bit her lower lip, her eyes showing a complex mix of emotions!
