Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 1250
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1250 Deeper Motive
Gautierâs 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 couldnât
overhear their conversation.
âMr. Verkade, I apologize. You spoke for quite a while just now. I canât recall what you said. What exactly is your position?â Emmanuel apologized.
Mackenzie couldnât help but smile. Emmanuel was clearly mocking the other partyâs pretentiousness. If Gautier truly wanted to make friends, he wouldnât need to showcase such a lengthy title in his introduction.
Emmanuelâs little trick seemed to have exposed Gautier.
âMr. Lowe, just call me Gautier.â
âIâm Emmanuel Lowe, the current Deputy Head of the Business Department at Terence Group, and the husband of the CEO of Terence Group. Itâs a pleasure to meet you.â Emmanuel mimicked Gautierâs words, even prolonging his introduction before shaking hands with him.
Gautierâs charming smile became slightly strained, but he calmly withdrew his hand.
Then, he snapped his fingers. Soon, several formally dressed waiters brought forth a lavish and romantic meal.
âMr. Verkade, youâve truly gone to great lengths. Isnât this the Westeria romantic meal? As uninvited guests, are Beatrix and I intruding on your careful preparations?â Emmanuelâs words were cutting.
Gautier clearly intended to have a romantic meal alone with Mackenzie. No man could tolerate someone else making advances towards his wife in this manner, including Emmanuel.
If he had known Gautierâs intentions, he would not have accepted Mackenzieâs invitation last night. Instead, he would have reluctantly agreed to her invitation to the boxing ring.
Mackenzie rarely witnessed Emmanuel behaving this way. However, she thoroughly enjoyed seeing his current demeanor.
Beatrix watched the scene with great interest. In fact, she came here to witness the clash between Emmanuel and Gautier. The spectacle of two men vying for a woman was too thrilling.
âHow could that be?â Gautier, a highly educated MIT graduate who had studied psychology, was not so easily thrown off by Emmanuel. He still smiled charmingly and said, âOur restaurant has a particular style. Please donât overthink it, Mr. Lowe.â
The implication was that Emmanuel shouldnât be so petty.

Nevertheless, it was impossible for Emmanuel not to overthink it.

You have confessed your feelings to my wife several times. I have tried to convince myself that you are trying to do business with her. However, you openly make advances towards her. How can I bear it?
On the contrary, Mackenzie was still pondering what Gautier would say. She interrupted, âEmmanuel, Mr. Verkade
knows Iâm your wife. How could he pursue me? Choose your words carefully.â
âI suppose so.â Although Emmanuel was angry, he still cooperated with Mackenzie. He nodded and said, âHowever,
Mr. Gautierâs brother has attempted to drug my wife on multiple occasions. Iâm genuinely concerned.â
Gautier was no pushover either. Not only was he unembarrassed, but he also took the initiative to raise his glass to
Emmanuel. âIf such a thing has occurred, I sincerely apologize. On behalf of Hubert, I apologize to both of you.â
Emmanuel observed his expression for a moment before raising his glass.
In reality, he had another motive for deliberately provoking Gautier, which was to intentionally test him.
Now, it appeared that Gautier not only desired Mackenzieâs beauty but also genuinely wanted to collaborate with the Quillen family.
Emmanuel wondered what his deeper motive was.
The onlookers couldnât help but discuss the scene they had witnessed.
Among them, some had witnessed the previous incident where Emmanuel slapped Gautier. They couldnât help but
wonder how they were so harmonious today.
They still hoped to see Emmanuel and Gautier fight again, and for Gautier to finally lose his temper and have his bodyguards rush up to teach that arrogant man a lesson.
Nevertheless, they maintained a facade of conversation and laughter in front of Mackenzie. It was unbelievable.
They wondered if one of them had abandoned Mackenzie, and they became friends after the argument.
If that were true, it would be overly dramatic.
âAfter the toast, Gautier maintained his pleasant and graceful demeanor as he greeted the guests, saying, âEveryone, please enjoy your meal.â
Beatrix was astonished. Does Mr. Gautier truly feel satisfied with being sidelined?
âMr. Gautier, letâs cut to the chase.â
