Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 881

Chapter 881 Running Into Ashton

This scene felt very familiar to Mackenzie. Hadn’t she played a similar role as Nathan at the banquets in Yeringham? She hadn’t expected that she would become so inconspicuous and insignificant tonight.

As Nathan descended the uniquely designed staircase while casually greeting his enthusiastic fans, she couldn’t help but carefully observe the man. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a good figure, a trendy hairstyle, and earrings, not to mention a smile bearing a hint of arrogance and indulgence! The slightly rebellious nobleman type was definitely the most irresistible to women.

However, what surprised her was the fact that a high and mighty young heir like him had a cast on one hand, which was also covered in bandages, while bruises on his face indicated that he had just suffered an injury.

“M–Mr. Chapman!” Even the proud Duncan had no choice but to bow and greet Nathan.

Nathan’s mouth curled up with a hint of mischief. “Ms. Quillen here is my esteemed guest. If you have the sense to step aside now, it will be easier for you. But if you dare to bother her, we will have to do it the hard way. Do you understand?”

Beads of cold sweat immediately broke out on Duncan’s forehead as he nodded repeatedly and wisely stepped

aside.

Mackenzie felt shocked. How strong and influential Nathan had to be for even noble–born heirs to fear him! However, she also felt a little uneasy since if he had ulterior motives towards her, she would be in great trouble!

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Miss Quillen, right?” Nathan smiled at her.

“Yes.” She nodded expressionlessly.

“Haha. You do deserve the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in Yeringham. After seeing you today, hmm-I think you’re perfect and flawless!” Nathan was indeed as charming as the rumors had suggested, openly scrutinizing her from head to toe while making his comments.

“You flatter me, Mr. Chapman.” Her lips slightly curled in a way that didn’t resemble a smile. “There are beautiful women everywhere who are perfect. Besides, all women have the same facial features, and we are all the same biologically!”

Mackenzie wanted to deliberately dispel the other party’s curiosity about her with those words; as long as a man didn’t become curious or intrigued about her, he wouldn’t like her.

“Haha, you are really interesting, Ms. Quillen! Please come in!” Nathan didn’t waste any time and directly invited Mackenzie upstairs.

Just as the two were about to enter a room, a woman approached them from the other end of the corridor.

Mackenzie was slightly taken aback when she saw this woman, while the woman seemed a little annoyed at the sight of Mackenzie and exclaimed, “Mackenzie, why are you here?”

Mackenzie’s lips moved slightly, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t have a good relationship with Ashton, nor was she interested in why Ashton was here, so she had nothing to say to the latter.

“Oh, do you know each other?” Nathan was also surprised but smiled at Ashton. “If you want to see her, you’ll have to wait. She’s with me now.”

“Hmph, I’m not looking for her, so do as you please!” Ashton’s attitude toward Mackenzie and Nathan wasn’t pleasant either, and she walked past them without a word.

The Summertons and the Chapmans were both prominent business families in Chanaea and had some connections between them, so Ashton had known Nathan since childhood. Although she was also beautiful and had a pair of long, shapely legs, he had never pursued her. It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested, but he simply couldn’t win against her. He used to get beaten up by her quite often when they had been kids, so how could he develop any feelings for her?
