Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 705
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 705
Rhea retreated to her room, feeling quite distressed.
She wouldnât deny that she had developed for Emmanuel. That day at the
Lenoir Residence, she was captivated by his medical skills and courage.
It was something she had never experienced with any other man before.
She also knew that Emmanuel was married, but were feelings of attraction
something she could control? No!
Rhea was a proponent of not getting married. She had already decided that
if no other man could replace Emmanuelâs position in her heart, she would
just remain single. Being friends with Emmanuel was enough for her.
Now that her parents were forcing her to go on a blind date, she only had one
option: intentionally sabotage it!
Winning someone over was hard, but driving someone away? That was easy!
With this thought in mind, Rhea gradually calmed down.
Meanwhile, after discussing with his wife, Juan picked up his phone, ready to
contact the young man from Beacon Hospital.
As the hospital director, a simple phone call should be enough to make the
other party willing to come over.
However, just as he was about to dial, his phone rang.
âEmmanuel?!â
Juan became visibly excited after seeing the caller ID.
He had invited Emmanuel to his home many times to discuss medical skills

âHello, Emmanuel? Happy New Year! Are you finally free to come over?â
âHappy New Year, Dr. Gomez! If itâs not too presumptuous, Iâd like to visit
today.â
âThatâs wonderful! Iâll have Rhea cook up some dishes for you! Haha, not to
brag, but Rheaâs cooking is excellent! Itâs no inferior to a fancy restaurant!â
âWell, then, thank you in advance for your hospitality, Dr. Gomez!â
âHaha, donât mention it. Iâm looking forward to your visit!â
Juan hung up the phone and immediately stepped out into the living room.
Coincidentally, Rhea walked out of her room as well.
âRhea, I have some news for you. We have an esteemed guest coming over
shortly. Youâll surely be thrilled to see him. Prepare some of your signature
dishes and wait for him!â Juan said cheerfully.
âOhâ¦â Rhea responded reluctantly.
She was a well-behaved girl who wouldnât go against her fatherâs wishes, but
the thought of cooking for a man she had never met before made her
reluctant.
Humph, itâs not like heâs Emmanuel! Iâll cook the most disgusting dishes and
âpoisonâ you with them. See if youâd dare marry me! By then, heâll surely keep
his distance! Hehe, Iâm so smart, truly worthy of being Emmanuelâs love guru!
She couldnât help chuckling to herself as the thought crossed her mind.
Seeing her reaction, Juan thought she had guessed that Emmanuel was
coming, so he didnât say anything more, just smiled and said, âIâll leave it to
you then. Do your best!â
âYes, I will definitely do my best!â Rhea nodded, slightly excited.
She might be a well-behaved girl, but everybody had a mischievous side to
them, no?
Thinking about the upcoming prank, she inexplicably felt a bit excited.
Without further ado, she hurried downstairs to buy ingredients.
On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Emmanuel immediately left
his place.
As he walked down to the parking lot, he sensed that someone was secretly
following him.
âWhoâs there?!â
Emmanuel quickly turned around and followed the noise. However, when he
reached the stairwell, he found it empty.
Emmanuel didnât believe he had made a mistake in his judgment. He could
only conclude that the person following him this time was much more skilled
than the one who had followed Mackenzie last time!
âSent by Magnus?â Emmanuel muttered to himself, suspecting the
involvement of Magnus. However, he pretended to have made a mistake on
the surface, not wanting to reveal his vigilance further.
