Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

With that, Mackenzie stood up, her face devoid of

expression.

Emmanuel instantly leaped to his feet and raced to

guard his plate of pasta.

The pasta looked really delicious, and the plating was

perfect. Every noodle was cooked to perfection, and

the accompanying sauces and garnishes were

artistically arranged on the plate.

Emmanuel found himself silently admiring her for her

thoughtfulness. If he had been the one responsible for

preparing the pasta, he doubted he would have taken

the extra step to make sure it was presented nicely.

Mackenzie was amused to see him gulping down the

plate of pasta in two mouthfuls. She remarked icily,

“Did you go to inspect a project, or were you recently

released from jail? Why were you famished?”

“Inspecting a project is more tiring than going to jail!”

After clearing the plate, Emmanuel licked his lips,

obviously wanting more. He gave her a thumbs–up

and a wide grin. “This is amazing! You’re an incredible

cook, way better than me.”

Mackenzie’s lips curled slightly, but her smile quickly

slipped away. She retorted, “Even if you flatter me, that

doesn’t mean I’ll make it for you again. By the way, how

is the project progressing?”

“Everything is going well. After the logo is done, they

will affix it and deliver it in a timely manner,” Emmanuel

explained.

He quickly added, “Remember your promise to pay my

family a visit after the project completion. My mom has

already extended an invitation to both Uncle Benny

and Uncle Chester’s families!”

“It’s a formal visit?” Mackenzie frowned upon hearing

that the visit was a formal one as she had never been

fond of attending formal dinners.

Nevertheless, she didn’t say no outright and ordered

coldly, “Clear the table. I’m going to wash up and go to

bed.”

Emmanuel watched with a fond smile as she ambled

away. He was filled with a sense of satisfaction and joy,

knowing that in two days, he would finally be able to

fulfill his mother’s wish.

The following day, Walter summoned Milani to his

office.

“Milani, you have done an outstanding job of
