Love At The Wrong Table

Mackenzie led the way while Beatrix trailed behind her,

and the two of them could hear everyone greeting

them respectfully.

Although Mackenzie was an aloof woman, she was not

cocky. In response, she would incline her head at the

more important figures in the corporate world out of

courtesy.

Men who received her response would puff up their

chests in pride.

In the meantime, as Emmanuel and Roselynn could

not see who everyone was excited about, they decided

to continue enjoying the food before them.

On the other hand, when Mackenzie went up the stairs

and raked her gaze across the room, she noticed her

husband in the corner.

What’s going on? That man is sharing food with

another woman, and they’re even chatting so merrily?

The polite smile on Mackenzie’s face faded, and the

temperature around her dropped drastically.

Why is that man here? Is he cheating on me? D*mn it!

Although Mackenzie told Emmanuel that it was fine for

him to date other women after they got married, she

realized she was still perturbed when she actually saw

him with another woman.

Fortunately, their marriage was a secret, and no one

knew that Emmanuel was her husband. Otherwise, his

appearance with another woman would have ruined

her illustrious reputation.

“Hmph!”

Following a sudden scoff, Mackenzie stopped greeting

the others and left the ballroom on the first floor.

Beatrix, who could not read Mackenzie’s mind, was

baffled. Mackenzie’s expression changed in the blink of

an eye! What’s going on?

However, a thought popped into her head when she

followed Mackenzie’s gaze to the spot in the corner

and noticed Emmanuel.

Beatrix had never seen Emmanuel before, so she

quickly pulled Mackenzie’s personal assistant closer to

her and asked, “Greta, who’s that man?”

“Ms. Beatrix, that’s Emmanuel Lowe.”

“Oh!” Beatrix exclaimed as realization dawned upon

him.

How bold can he be to court other women here?

Mackenzie even caught him red–handed! Hoho, if

Mackenzie gets mad, she’ll have a thousand and one

ways to kill him!

“Lexi, keep an eye on that man for me, and come to me

right away if anything happens.”

“Of course, Ms. Beatrix,” Lexi replied, but she was

confused.

He’s not your husband. If anything, I should be

reporting to Ms. Mackenzie instead.

Lexi did not dare to voice those thoughts out loud,

however.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Roselynn had no idea they

had been spotted by Mackenzie and her cousin, let

alone how Mackenzie had misunderstood Emmanuel’s

relationship with Roselynn.

It was a strange situation, to sum it up. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Roselynn, I don’t see any handsome guys around. Why

don’t we go to another floor?”

Emmanuel still remembered the task his mother had

assigned him to.

He was already married, and it was time for him to get

Roselynn married too. Otherwise, it would be risky for

Roselynn to give birth if things dragged on for a few

more years.

“I’d love to enjoy more delicacies on different floors, but

the invitation I received only allows me to remain on

the first floor.”

Roselynn shrugged, the look in her eyes seemingly

telling Emmanuel that there was nothing she could do.

Right then, a sweet voice rang out behind them.

“Roselynn! Dr. Lowe!”

The siblings turned to see a woman in a light green

gown and a smile on her face ambling toward them.

The look in the attractive woman’s eyes was a calm

one, and she was wearing a diamond necklace around

her slender neck. The diamond twinkled under the

lights, and it was so brilliant it looked as if the entire

universe had been kept in the precious rock.

“Claudette?”

Roselynn jumped to her feet in excitement before

launching herself over to the other woman and

hugging her. My boss came at the right time!
