Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe

Chapter 186

However, neither Emmanuel nor Quintus seemed to realize that.

“Hey! Hey!” Seeing that the Bentley was getting further away despite his

shouting, Emmanuel became anxious and floored the pedal again. He even

told Quintus to secure his helmet properly and sit tight.

“Haha! Your riding skills are incredible!” The faster Emmanuel drove, the more

excited Quintus became, and he loudly praised the former. Who would’ve

thought that the random guy I stopped would turn out to be a professional

electric scooter racer?

“I don’t mean to throw cold water on you, but that woman you’re chasing

doesn’t seem interested in you,” Emmanuel remarked. He was not a fool.

Upon seeing the Bentley fleeing as they gave chase, he immediately

guessed what was going on.

“If you knew who was in that car, you wouldn’t make fun of me,” Quintus

replied proudly.

“Who is she?”

“The daughter of the Quillen family and the most beautiful woman in

Yeringham!” Just saying it filled Quintus with pride. After all, not many men

were qualified to pursue such a woman.

“Oh, it’s her!”

Hearing the tone of Emmanuel’s response, Quintus could not resist asking,

“Oh? Do you know her too?”

“Nope. She’s my wife’s boss, and I heard she’s something else. She has never

dated and keeps everyone at arm’s length.” Emmanuel shook his head. Even

my wife is already as cold as ice, so that lady boss of hers must be even

more so, right?

“Haha! Indeed! If it were easy to pursue her, I wouldn’t be having such a hard

time trying to catch up to her. However, I assure you I’ll definitely succeed,”

Quintus declared confidently.

“In that case, I wish you good luck,” Emmanuel said sincerely. He sensed that

the both of them would get on like a house on fire.

The Bentley drove into Terence Group’s parking lot, and Emmanuel finally

followed it all the way to the entrance on his electric scooter.

“Ms. Quillen has entered the office building, so I won’t go in with you. Best of

luck!” he said as he let Quintus get off the scooter.

“Okay!” With that, Quintus hopped off immediately.

Furrowing his brows slightly, Emmanuel could not refrain from asking, “That’s

quite impressive. Did you used to be in the army?”

“You have a sharp eye. I was part of the Ferocious Tigers stationed at the

southern region’s border. I only just retired and returned to Yeringham last

year,” Quintus answered proudly.

“I see.” That made Emmanuel feels as though they had an instant

connection. The Wolf Warriors from the north and the Ferocious Tigers from

the south are Chanaea’s renowned vanguard forces on the battlefield.

They’ve rendered countless meritorious acts on the battlefield. If I didn’t have

to rush off to my part–time job, I’d definitely buy this guy a drink.

Quintus was also in a hurry to replace Mackenzie. Otherwise, he would have

invited Emmanuel to have a drink together. However, it was now time for the

two men to part ways.

He dashed into Terence Group, ignoring the security guard’s attempts to stop

him. He was determined to see Mackenzie.

When Wally saw that, he rushed forward to block his path.

As Mackenzie’s driver, it went without saying that he was rather skilled.

However, Quintus was still able to get past him easily.

Mackenzie was sitting inside the branch’s office when she heard the

commotion outside. Looking up, she saw Quintus barge into the room and

stand upright before her like a mountain.

“My apologies, Ms. Quillen! I couldn’t stop him,” Wally said as he hurried over.

With a smug expression, Quintus chuckled and said, “Ms. Quillen, allow me to

make things clear. I’m not cut from the same cloth as that good–for–nothing

Hubert. It’s not that easy to stop me.”

The next moment, she turned her cold gaze toward him. It felt like a burst of

chilly air, and it instantly made him fall silent like he was frozen.

“What do you want, Mr. Lenoir?”

“Mackenzie, I’m here on very important business! It’s related to the rest of my

life and whether or not Lenoir Group can suppress Verkade Group in

Yeringham in the future.” Following his impassioned explanation, he changed

the topic and said, “I have two concert tickets. They’re incredibly hard to

come by. I want to invite you to the concert with me tomorrow night.”

She could not help sneering at that. “So, that’s your so–called important

business involving your future and the fate of your family?”
