Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Mackenzie gave Emmanuel a call, only to discover that his phone was

turned off.

“Sure enough, he’s an idiot! He doesn’t even realize that his phone has

died!”

Unadulterated anxiety gripped her.

The project was exceedingly important, and their competitor, Verkade

Group, had set their sights on it.

If that project were to succeed, Terence Group would be nabbing a huge

contract worth a billion from Verkade Group in the next year.

For that reason, Verkade Group were determined to see them fail.

Perhaps Samuel and his men had even been incited to make trouble for

Terence Group back then. Unfortunately for them, Terence Group had

managed to resolve the problem.

Mackenzie and Terence Group were currently on their guard against

Verkade Group in everything. Hence, the latter could not do anything to

sabotage things.

While the mistaken logo would not affect any operations, Mackenzie was

worried that Verkade Group would use it as a pretext to attack Terence

Group and make clients lose confidence in the company.

As far as she knew, Verkade Group’s CEO, Gautier Verkade, was a piece of

trash who did not mind using all sorts of despicable means. Thus, the

matter could never be allowed to get to his knowledge. Otherwise, he

would definitely seize the opportunity to make a mountain out of a

molehill.

At worst, we’ll do away with the strategic warehouse’s logo unveiling on

the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

She was presently frantic to look for Emmanuel because she feared that

he would make a huge deal out of the matter resulting in it becoming

public knowledge. By then, it would be difficult for her to deal with the fallout.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Milani had arrived at the bar.

As soon as they lifted their eyes, they were greeted by the words “Pink

Zone” on a big neon signboard. It was incredibly eye-catching.

The bar was filled with suggestive and risqué undertones. Besides, its

business was flourishing.

“Hmph! Yoel, that b*stard, is pretty good at picking a place to relax!” Milani

could not help scoffing.

Yoel Larson was the name of the craftsman from Cloud Construction.

Emmanuel had once met him during the meeting previously. He wore

glasses and appeared to be quite an honest man.

He shouldn’t be such a kind of person. Oh well, it’s difficult to conclude that.

As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Taking the lead, Emmanuel stepped into the bar.

With a snort, Milani followed.

The bar was not as luxurious as they had imagined, but the atmosphere

was exceedingly amorous and could spark the lust of young couples.

On top of that, the female servers had stunning figures and were dressed

in diverse costumes and silk stockings of various colors. Verily, they were

all striking.

That went doubly true for the bar hostesses. Anything they wore

underneath would be bared with just a tilt of their bottoms.

“What a perv!” Milani sneered. Only when Emmanuel turned to her did she

deliberately clarify, “Hmph! I wasn’t talking about you but Yoel!”

Emmanuel merely shrugged. If it were not for business issues, he did not

even want to speak with her.

In no time, they found Yoel.

Unexpectedly, the man was seated in a booth. There were neither women

nor men around him.

Emmanuel noticed that his gaze was fixed in a particular direction, and he

did not even notice their presence when they had walked up to him from

behind.

Following his gaze, Emmanuel spotted a slender figure.

Ah, it turns out that he’s secretly eyeballing a beauty.

In the next second, the beauty in a black and white maid costume turned

around. A single glance at her astounded him as well.

The woman was in her early twenties with exquisite features, fair skin, and

outstanding looks.

Her jet-black hair was pinned back with a plain hairpin, and she exuded

innocence. Her crystalline eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.

Other than his wife, Mackenzie, he had never seen such a beautiful girl.

Her maid costume was the bar’s uniform, but it was the most conservative

among the female servers.

Even so, it accentuated her alluring curves. Nonetheless, the most

attractive part of her was her long and slender legs encased in silk
