Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 924 The Hours Before the Rendezvous
On Saturday morning, Rhea was busy in the kitchen.
âRhea, what are you doing?â Juan walked into the kitchen and asked his daughter.
âDad, Iâm making a lunchbox!â
âWhy would you be making a lunchbox?â Juan furrowed his brows. âYouâre going on a blind date at Luxoria Hotel today. Do you really need to cook your own food?â
Rhea didnât reply immediately. Instead, she quickly closed the container, placed it in her purse, and then approached her father with a sweet smile.
âDad, you often praise my cooking skills, right? Iâm worried that words alone wonât be enough to convince him. So, Iâve prepared this lunchbox for him to taste. What do you think?â
Rhea patted the container confidently, secretly pleased with her clever solution. She thought that her father had indeed given her a great way to fend off her date.
âVery nice, Rhea. What a sensible girl you are!â Juan laughed. He had no idea about the inner thoughts of the young lady and was quite pleased with how cooperative his daughter was this time.
Rhea suddenly felt a bit guilty toward her father, but she had no other choice. She really didnât want to go on a blind date or get married. So, she apologized in her heart, Sorry, Dad!
On the other side, seeing that it was almost time, Emmanuel also prepared to leave.
Because Terence Group was currently in the process of making a comeback, Mackenzie was busy working from home on Saturday.
Emmanuel had already prepared lunch and walked up to her, saying, âMackenzie, Iâve put the lunch in the microwave. Remember to eat on time, okay?â
Mackenzie elegantly raised her head, casually brushing her bangs aside. She smiled faintly, creating the most beautiful living picture.
âGot it. Where are you going?â
âDr. Gomez said thereâs a female patient with severe abdominal pain who needs my assistance. Iâm going to check it out.â
âA female patient with abdominal pain?â Mackenzie raised an eyebrow slightly. It sounded exactly like her aunt, Hannah.
Just the day before, Samantha had told her about Hannahâs condition and mentioned that Juan couldnât cure her and they needed to seek help. It turned out that her husband was the one Juan had reached out to.
Mackenzie found it a bit amusing, going through all this trouble when her aunt couldâve just asked Emmanuel directly for help.
âAlright, go ahead! Good luck!â Mackenzie casually said.
The two words âgood luckâ coming from her carried a lot of encouragement. Perhaps that was the charm of a goddess?
Emmanuel nodded with a smile, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Just then, the phone rang again, and it was the same unfamiliar number from the day before. Since it wasnât
Emmanuel who answered the call the day before, he had no recollection of the number. Nevertheless, he answered
âHello, who is this?â
âEmmanuel, Iâve found a pure and beautiful lady for you. Come over immediately!â
âMs. Hannah? Is that you?â
âOf course, itâs me. What are you pretending for? Anyway, Iâll find a way to set you two up, and I wonât let Mackenzie know for now. When you two start dating, remember the promise you made!â
âYouâre crazy!â Emmanuel couldnât hold back his temper anymore. âIâve said it before; I love Mackenzie. Please donât waste your efforts. Thank you!â
He quickly hung up and then left the house.
Mackenzie, seeing this scene, had a good idea of what probably went on and couldnât help but furrow her brows, displaying a hint of annoyance.
What is Aunt Hannah up to? Seriously!
On the other side, Hannah, after hearing Emmanuelâs response, was also furious.
