Love at the Wrong Table - Season 1 Episode 47

At almost ten that night, Mackenzie sat on the living

room couch while drinking milk, applying a facial

mask, and scrolling through her Instagram.

That was her routine before bed every night. She

wasn’t doing it for entertainment purposes, but she

was actually keeping an eye out for business news on

Instagram.

However, she accidentally stumbled upon Claudette’s

post.

Since she and Claudette were both from families

involved in business, they were friends and

competitors at the same time.

Oh? Ms. Lenoir is having dinner with a man tonight.

Judging from the caption, it seems like the man has

taken her out for dinner, and she’s showing off on

social media! A smile appeared on Mackenzie’s face. I

got married secretly, and Ms. Lenoir, who had been

single all this while, had also found herself a man!

Click!

Right then, the front door was pushed open, and

Emmanuel was seen walking in.

Mackenzie swept a glance at him, and she initially

wanted to ignore him. However, she suddenly looked

at him again when she realized something was amiss.

Mackenzie was utterly shocked by what she was

seeing. Why is he wearing the same outfit as the man

Ms. Lenoir was having dinner with?

Mackenzie checked the photo Claudette uploaded

once again, and she came to a conclusion

immediately. He’s the man in the photo! The man

Claudette showed off on Instagram is my husband!

Mackenzie was enraged, but she concealed it.

Emmanuel didn’t notice anything odd about

Mackenzie’s behavior. He then glanced at the kitchen

and saw everything was still where they were before.

“Did you not have dinner tonight? You can’t replace

proper meals with snacks. You aren’t doing your

digestive system any good.”

Just as Emmanuel was giving his advice, he turned

around and suddenly sensed a drop in the room

temperature.

With an icy glare, Mackenzie asked, “Mr. Lowe, which

woman did you have a romantic dinner with?”

Emmanuel was startled, but he replied truthfully, “It

wasn’t a romantic dinner. I was merely buying dinner

for a friend.”

“Oh? Did you borrow money from me to buy dinner for

a woman? You’re a generous man, aren’t you?”

Mackenzie flashed a half–smile. How dare this man

borrow money from his wife to take another woman

out for dinner? What a clever move!

Emmanuel could tell Mackenzie was pissed off, and he

found it weird. “Ms. Quillen, I bought her dinner

because she helped me today! I’ll pay you back the

money I owe you as soon as possible.”

Mackenzie got even more annoyed upon hearing that. I’m legally his wife. I lent him money and helped his

mom get into the ward. In return, he left me at home to

have dinner with another woman! How is that

appropriate? All men are trashy!

“Since you’ve said that, please pay me back the money

on time next month!” Mackenzie demanded in a cold

tone and walked toward the room.

As soon as she arrived at the door to the room, she

suddenly said, “Also, I might be busy early next month.

I’ll have to see if I can still visit your place!”

What? Emmanuel had an innocent expression on his

face. This woman had always been cold and

indifferent, but she had never been petty. In fact, she

doesn’t look like someone who breaks promises.

What’s with her tonight? She already promised to meet Mom. Why is she going back on her words now? Mom is going to be disappointed if she doesn’t show up.

Roselynn is going to get angry as well. Ugh… I’ll just see

how things go. For now, I need to find ways to make

more money. Otherwise, I won’t be able to overcome

my financial difficulties.

When Emmanuel was at work the next day, he was

using his phone to browse for a part–time job on the

internet.

After filtering the options and sorting the options

based on the salaries offered, the offer that ranked first

was a job offered by Terence Group.

“A part–time representative of projects with a base

salary of four thousand, excluding commission?”

Emmanuel mumbled to himself and read the job

–description. This job is rather similar to the mission

Mackenzie gave me before. She gave me the task

privately, and I didn’t have to undergo the recruitment

process the last time around. That was why I wasn’t

paid. Well, I need money urgently, and I have

experience doing this. Mmm, it seems like this is my

best option!

That afternoon, Emmanuel asked Frederick to fill in for

him and left the hospital earlier so that he could go for

the interview at Terence Group.

He thought there wouldn’t be many going after the job

since the position was low and the salary was average

compared to other positions. However, when he

arrived at Terrence Group for the interview, the place

was packed.

People of all ages and genders were there, hoping to get the job.
