Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

“Is that not the case?” Quintus said excitedly, “News of Hubert pursuing you is

trending on the news. If I don’t make my move, I’d lose you for sure. I have

way too many rivals in love! If you get taken away by some other man, I’ll

have to live the rest of my life as a bachelor, and this will cause the Lenoir

family line to go extinct. Isn’t it obvious that it affects the family’s fate?”

Mackenzie forced a smile on her face. “That’s quite a terrible joke. Should I be

laughing?”

“It’s not a joke. I’m being serious here!”

Once again, Quintus waved the two concert tickets at her. “Mackenzie, give

me a chance. I know you enjoy listening to piano and classical music.”

Although Mackenzie did not accept the tickets, she also did not chase him

out. Furthermore, several security guards have already gathered outside the

-office.

“You’d abandon your Land Rover, hop on an electric scooter and chase me

down nine blocks, just so you could invite me to a concert?”

Briefly taken aback, Quintus laughed. “You got that right. So, you knew! Yeah,

nine blocks are nothing. I’d chase you to the ends of the earth and down

other dangerous places if need be!”

Mackenzie felt goosebumps all over her body at his reply. This was one of the

reasons she hated men. Their cheesy words made her whole body feel so

uncomfortable.

Though, it’s strange that I don’t feel this way when that id*ot at home praises

1. me.

“Are you acquainted with the rider of the electric scooter?” Mackenzie

ignored the topic. Instead, she chose to focus on the rider of the electric

scooter.

Surprised, Quintus shook his head as he replied, “I don’t know him. But it’s

strange, I seem to have stopped a professional racer. Otherwise, it would

have been impossible for me to catch up. Don’t you think this means that

we’re fated to meet each other?”

Mackenzie snorted in response. She did not believe in fate. If I’m truly fated to

be with someone, it would be with that id*ot!

Quintus‘ chase had nothing to do with that id*ot, but the former had

somehow managed to stop his electric scooter. It had ended up looking like

the scene of a husband chasing after his wife and causing a huge

her photos on the internet.

He rode his electric scooter back after he got off his part–time job. Just as he

was passing by the junction at Terence Group, he suddenly encountered

Quintus.

Emmanuel assumed that the latter was here to deal with his Land Rover’s

traffic offense from earlier. However, Quintus greeted Emmanuel warmly as

he spotted the latter.

“You’re finally here!”

“Are you waiting for me?” Emmanuel was puzzled. I’m no bombshell, so why is

he here waiting for me?

“Haha! I was called in by the traffic police earlier, and I’ve only just settled my

affairs. I thought that I could run into you by chance, but I didn’t expect it to

actually happen!”

Quintus did not sound like someone who came from an affluent family.

Instead, he appeared to be a straightforward and passionate young man.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”
