Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 884 Nathanâs Awkward Discovery
âMr. Nathan, if youâre willing to cooperate with Terence Group, Iâm willing to offer you a price that is 20% higher than the market price!â
Displaying a clever act of feigned ignorance, Mackenzie skillfully presented her own business terms without explicitly revealing her intentions.
Nathan couldnât help but sneer at her tactics.
He stood up and approached her. âMs. Quillen, letâs keep it straightforward. Iâm lusting after your body!â
Nathan gently lifted Mackenzieâs chin, sporting a sincere smile that revealed his pearly whites. âThere arenât many women in this world who can catch my interest like you do. Consider yourself lucky!â
âPlease show some respect!â Mackenzie slapped his hand away.
âOuch, that hurtsâ¦â Nathan, who was already injured, felt the sting of Mackenzieâs unmerciful slap.
âMr. Nathan, if you insist on such terms, then Iâm sorry-I wonât be playing along. Goodbye!â
Mackenzie, all cool and aloof, stood up and walked away.
She thought her main challenge was to defeat her competitors, but little did she know that her biggest adversary would turn out to be this flirtatious playboy.
However, Nathan continued to block her
way.
He had originally planned to delegate this collaboration to Emmanuel, but Mackenzie had undeniably stirred his emotions and thrown his thoughts into disarray.
When he laid eyes on this woman, an irresistible urge surged within him, akin to a child spotting their most coveted toy and being determined to claim it at any cost.
This sentiment was potent enough to obliterate all other concerns from his mind.
âMs. Quillen, to my knowledge, Terence Group has signed a massive order. If you fail to process and deliver it on time, thereâs a substantial risk of bankruptcy, isnât there? Does that not concern you?â
With that, he forcefully pressed her against the wall with one hand.
Mackenzie tried to break free, but there was a disparity in strength between them. She couldnât free herself at the moment.
âI admit that Iâm a bit of a playboy, but would it be too much for you to consider sacrificing a bit for the sake of your familyâs business? I believe smart women might make a similar choice, right?â
Nathanâs words certainly added to the pressure Mackenzie was already feeling.
The Quillen family consisted of dozens of individuals, all relying on the success of Terence Group for their livelihoods. Additionally, thousands of employees at Terence Group were counting on her
as well.
The weight of many peopleâs hopes rested squarely on her shoulders.

However, Mackenzie just sneered and retorted, âItâs true that I canât let Terence Group collapse, but that doesnât mean that I canât find a solution if the Chapman family chooses not to cooperate with us. Let me be clear-I am married, and I believe my husband can help me resolve this issue.â
âOh? Youâre married?â
Nathan was genuinely surprised because, according to the information his subordinates had provided, she was in a single status.
Known for avoiding pursuing married women, he wouldnât have been as interested if he had known Mackenzie was married.
âThatâs right!â Mackenzie tilted her head slightly, appearing unyielding. âAlthough he is just an ordinary man, he loves me deeply. I love him, and I have complete trust in him. Heâs also gone abroad to help me find a solution, so even if I fail here, it doesnât mean Iâll be left with no options!â
âWait⦠Hold on!â
As Nathan continued to listen, a growing sense of unease settled in. Suddenly, a realization struck, and he inquired, âIs your husbandâs last name Lowe? Is his name Emmanuel Lowe?â
Caught off guard, Mackenzie hadnât anticipated this notorious playboy to have delved into her personal details. âMr. Nathan, since youâre aware of this, why pretend to be unaware of this just now?â she questioned.
âWell, umâ¦â
Nathan swiftly released her hand as though he had touched an electric shock and quickly moved a meterâs distance between himself and Mackenzie.
Oh, man!
Sheâs actually Masterâs wife!
Iâve been unknowingly flirting with Masterâs wife all this time.
