Chapter 47
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 47
At almost ten that night, Mackenzie sat on the living
room couch while drinking milk, applying a facial
mask, and scrolling through her Instagram.
That was her routine before bed every night. She
wasnât doing it for entertainment purposes, but she
was actually keeping an eye out for business news on
Instagram.
However, she accidentally stumbled upon Claudetteâs
post.
Since she and Claudette were both from families
involved in business, they were friends and
competitors at the same time.
Oh? Ms. Lenoir is having dinner with a man tonight.
Judging from the caption, it seems like the man has
taken her out for dinner, and sheâs showing off on
social media! A smile appeared on Mackenzieâs face. I
got married secretly, and Ms. Lenoir, who had been
single all this while, had also found herself a man!
Click!
Right then, the front door was pushed open, and
Emmanuel was seen walking in.
Mackenzie swept a glance at him, and she initially
wanted to ignore him. However, she suddenly looked
at him again when she realized something was amiss.
Mackenzie was utterly shocked by what she was
seeing. Why is he wearing the same outfit as the man
Ms. Lenoir was having dinner with?
Mackenzie checked the photo Claudette uploaded
once again, and she came to a conclusion
immediately. Heâs the man in the photo! The man
Claudette showed off on Instagram is my husband!
Mackenzie was enraged, but she concealed it.
Emmanuel didnât notice anything odd about
Mackenzieâs behavior. He then glanced at the kitchen
and saw everything was still where they were before.
âDid you not have dinner tonight? You canât replace
proper meals with snacks. You arenât doing your
digestive system any good.â
Just as Emmanuel was giving his advice, he turned
around and suddenly sensed a drop in the room
temperature.
With an icy glare, Mackenzie asked, âMr. Lowe, which
woman did you have a romantic dinner with?â
Emmanuel was startled, but he replied truthfully, âIt
wasnât a romantic dinner. I was merely buying dinner
for a friend.â
âOh? Did you borrow money from me to buy dinner for
a woman? Youâre a generous man, arenât you?â
Mackenzie flashed a halfâsmile. How dare this man
borrow money from his wife to take another woman
out for dinner? What a clever move!
Emmanuel could tell Mackenzie was pissed off, and he
found it weird. âMs. Quillen, I bought her dinner
because she helped me today! Iâll pay you back the
money I owe you as soon as possible.â
Mackenzie got even more annoyed upon hearing that. Iâm legally his wife. I lent him money and helped his
mom get into the ward. In return, he left me at home to
have dinner with another woman! How is that
appropriate? All men are trashy!
âSince youâve said that, please pay me back the money
on time next month!â Mackenzie demanded in a cold
tone and walked toward the room.
As soon as she arrived at the door to the room, she
suddenly said, âAlso, I might be busy early next month.
Iâll have to see if I can still visit your place!â
What? Emmanuel had an innocent expression on his
face. This woman had always been cold and
indifferent, but she had never been petty. In fact, she
doesnât look like someone who breaks promises.
Whatâs with her tonight? She already promised to meet Mom. Why is she going back on her words now? Mom is going to be disappointed if she doesnât show up.
Roselynn is going to get angry as well. Ugh⦠Iâll just see
how things go. For now, I need to find ways to make
more money. Otherwise, I wonât be able to overcome
my financial difficulties.
When Emmanuel was at work the next day, he was
using his phone to browse for a partâtime job on the
internet.
After filtering the options and sorting the options
based on the salaries offered, the offer that ranked first
was a job offered by Terence Group.
âA partâtime representative of projects with a base
salary of four thousand, excluding commission?â
Emmanuel mumbled to himself and read the job
âdescription. This job is rather similar to the mission
Mackenzie gave me before. She gave me the task
privately, and I didnât have to undergo the recruitment
process the last time around. That was why I wasnât
paid. Well, I need money urgently, and I have
experience doing this. Mmm, it seems like this is my
best option!
That afternoon, Emmanuel asked Frederick to fill in for
him and left the hospital earlier so that he could go for
the interview at Terence Group.
He thought there wouldnât be many going after the job
since the position was low and the salary was average
compared to other positions. However, when he
arrived at Terrence Group for the interview, the place
was packed.
People of all ages and genders were there, hoping to
get the job.
