Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 191
âYour sister is actually wrong about my profession, Manny. I may have
majored in engineering, but Iâm actually a project manager!â Jaxton said,
correcting Roselynnâs statement.
Realizing that Roselynn was feeling slightly unhappy, Emmanuel replied with
a smile, âThatâs impressive, Jaxton!â
âI wouldnât say itâs impressive, though. I only got where I am today through
hard work.â
Despite what Jaxton said; he actually had a gleeful look on his face.
Emmanuel believed that it was all right to take pride in oneâs hardâearned
achievements, so he didnât find Jaxtonâs behavior inappropriate.
âBy the way, what do you do for a living, Manny? How much does your job
pay?â Jaxton asked.
As Jaxton was her boyfriend, Roselynn didnât stop him from asking such
questions. She figured there was nothing wrong with him getting to know
Emmanuel better.

âI work a fullâtime job as a gynecologist with an annual salary of eighty
thousand. I also have a partâtime job on the side,â Emmanuel replied, making
no attempt to hide it at all.
Jaxtonâs expression slid into a frown the moment he heard that. He then
patted Emmanuel on the shoulder and said, âWhatâs so great about a job like
that? How about this? You can tender your resignation tomorrow and come
work at my company instead! Iâll get you a job with an annual salary of one
hundred thousand and above!â
He had assumed that Emmanuel would be overjoyed and thank him
profusely for the offer.
After all, there was simply no reason for anyone to turn down such a great
offer.
To his surprise, however, Emmanuel simply rubbed his nose awkwardly
without saying a word.

Jaxtonâs eyes lit up with glee as he continued, âYou donât need to feel shy
about it. Itâs perfectly normal for people to upgrade themselves. It must be
really hard for you to find yourself a wife with that salary of yours, huh?â
may not look attractive or tall but I have a high social status. Besides, I
managed to get myself a gorgeous girlfriend like Roselynn. Her brother is tall
and strong, but what good has it done him? No pretty woman out there
would be willing to marry a poor guy like him!
âIâm already married, Jaxton.â
Emmanuelâs reply shocked Jaxton so much that he froze on the spot.
âYou got married before your sister? Wow! You mustâve found yourself a great
woman, then! I mean, why else would you be so quick to jump into a
marriage?â he asked with a smile after a brief pause.
Of course, Jaxton was obviously being sarcastic with that statement.
His wife must be a mediocre character if they got married so soon! Itâs a
common practice among those who know theyâre not attractive or
successful to simply settle for convenience.
Unable to stand his attitude any longer, Mackenzie walked up to them and
asked coldly, âDo you have a problem with my husband marrying me so
soon?â
Jaxton tensed up and found himself frozen in shock once again when he saw
her.
He had thought Roselynn was incredibly beautiful, so seeing Emmanuelâs wife
look even prettier shocked him greatly.
Mackenzieâs beautiful appearance, grace, and elegance had completely
surpassed his expectations.
On top of that, he also found her to be rather familiar, but he couldnât seem to
recall where he had seen her before. Even so, he didnât dare ask her about it
as he didnât want others to mistake his question for a cheesy pickup line.
âMannyâs wife sure is gorgeous, huh?â Roselynn asked, showing no sign of
anger toward his reaction whatsoever.
After all, Mackenzie was indeed a lot more beautiful and elegant, so she had
no reason to complain about him reacting like that.
âHaha! She sure is! Everyone in your family looks gorgeous, Roselynn!â
Jaxtonâs reply was flawless.
âThanks for the kind offer, Jaxton. You see, my wife holds a senior executive
position in Terence Group, and my partâtime job is to drive her to and from
work. Hence, Iâm not looking to change either of my jobs anytime soon,â
Emmanuel said, shocking Jaxton once more.
If she is working in Terence Group, then she must earn a pretty high salary!
Manny sure is a loser for depending on a woman!
âCome on, Emmanuel! Letâs go get you changed right now! I told you others
would look down on you if they saw you in this outfit!â Mackenzie said,
exposing Jaxtonâs thoughts without any hesitation.
The look on Jaxtonâs face turned slightly gloomy, but he didnât say anything in
response.
