Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 711
Meanwhile, Emmanuel drove the Gomezes in his Maserati to the Serenity
Resort.
“My, Mr. Lowe, this car of yours must be quite expensive.” Edith knew the least
about Emmanuel. He appeared so easygoing when he came over to theirs
that she thought he was just an ordinary boy. Little did she expect him to
drive such a luxurious car.
“Well, I don’t really know the price. The car isn’t mine. I’m just the driver, haha...
Emmanuel responded with a candid smile.
Rhea, sitting in the passenger seat, liked this side of him. During her school
days, she had encountered numerous guys who loved to show off, especially
when borrowing someone else’s car-they would act all high and mighty.
Emmanuel, however, was different from those guys.
“By the way, Rhea, there’s something I’d like to ask you.” Emmanuel, who was
driving leisurely, decided to discuss his cousin’s matter.
“Oh? What about?” Rhea was secretly stealing glances at Emmanuel’s profile
when he suddenly started talking to her. She quickly turned her face away
and blushed.
“Well, it’s about my cousin, Ryder...” Emmanuel briefly explained the situation,
even mentioning the part about pretending to be Tia’s boyfriend for a day.

He wasn’t going to be direct and ask Rhea if she’d be willing to go on a blind
date with Ryder. Instead, he wanted to learn how to help Ryder get closer to
Tia.
“Oh, this isn’t too difficult!” Rhea, wanting to play the role of a love guru for
Emmanuel, had been reading quite a few books lately. She immediately
offered advice, “Since she willingly asked you to be her boyfriend, it means
she has feelings for you. Just try to find opportunities to ask her out and invite
your cousin as well. This will give them a chance to build a connection.
“Of course, you have to be subtle in how you ask a girl out, or else she might
sense your intentions and become reluctant to come. But don’t worry. I’ll give
you a detailed strategy when I get back tonight!”
Emmanuel was immediately boosted by her suggestions. Even though this
might consume a fair amount of his time, he couldn’t disregard the fact that
Ryder was like a blood brother to him.
Soon after, the four of them arrived at Serenity Resort,
They had reserved VIP Suite 888, but the one guiding them to their room
wasn’t the head manager Eleanor, but rather a female receptionist.
Upon reaching the entrance of Suite 888, they noticed a commotion.
“Please don’t get upset just yet, Mr. Verkade. I’ll immediately talk to the guests
who reserved this room and ask them to cancel their reservation!” Eleanor

appeared slightly flustered, trying to appease Jonathan Verkade with a
smile.
However, Jonathan maintained his usual arrogant attitude, “Why even bother
asking? Just tell them their reservation is canceled. As for what happens next,
you figure it out.
He had just boasted earlier. If he couldn’t get in this very moment, he would
be utterly humiliated.
“We don’t have such a rule in our restaurant, Mr. Verkade. I beg you to let me
communicate with them first. It won’t take much time,” Eleanor persisted in
upholding the restaurant’s protocols, just as she had before. After all, she
knew who paid her salary.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Taking Tia’s feelings into consideration,
Jonathan decided to give Eleanor five minutes. If it were before, he would
have already started a physical confrontation.
“Okay!” Eleanor immediately dialed a number.
Rhea had just arrived at the corridor in front of Suite 888 when her phone
rang.
“Hello, is this Ms. Gomez?” Eleanor got straight to the point. “I’m sorry, but
because we have another guest who wants Suite 888, would you consider
switching to another room?”

“What? That’s not possible!” Rhea immediately refused. Her family and
Emmanuel had arrived on time for their reservation. Why should they accept
a last-minute change?
Emmanuel had even witnessed the scene at the room entrance and couldn’t
help but furrow his brows slightly. Why is Tia and her mother with a rascal like
Jonathan?
“Mr. Verkade, I’m sorry, but the guests declined,” Eleanor apologized to
Jonathan with a bitter smile.
“D*mn it! You incompetent fool! You can’t even handle something so small!
Get lost! I’ll handle it myself!”
