Love at the Wrong Table - Season 2 Episode 88

“Did you look for me just to ask me that? No, I don’t have a girlfriend, nor am I

interested in getting a boyfriend!”

Having immediately hit off after their first meeting, Emmanuel and Quintus

felt comfortable joking with each other.

“Haha! I’m not looking for a boyfriend either. I’d like to introduce my younger

sister to you if you’re single,” Quintus said. He draped an arm over

Emmanuel’s shoulder and declared proudly, “My younger sister is really

pretty and she’s single too. Would you like to try going out with her?”

“It’s all right. I already have a woman I like.” Emmanuel waved off the

suggestion.

Quintus let out a hearty chuckle. “That’s even better. Here, I have two concert

tickets. I’ll give them to you as repayment for helping me today.”

Emmanuel did not immediately accept them. He asked curiously, “Did your

plan to invite the daughter of the Quillen family not pan out?”

“Yeah, it didn’t work out. But that makes it all the more interesting! That’s how

it should be when chasing girls. Hahaha!” Quintus guffawed. He stuffed the

tickets into Emmanuel’s hand and said, “Take them so they don’t go to waste!

They’re of no use to me anyway.”

Emmanuel saw no reason to turn down the tickets. But I’ve never asked

Mackenzie out. Does this count as a date? What if she thinks I’m trying to hit

on her?

“All right. I’ll be heading off now.” Quintus patted Emmanuel on the shoulder

once more before getting into the car and leaving. He had a strange feeling

that he would meet Emmanuel again very soon.

Clutching the two tickets in hand, Emmanuel rode his electric scooter home.

Morosely, he debated whether he should invite Mackenzie or not.

Forget it. Mackenzie’s always so busy. She’d never go with me. But it’s also

Saturday tomorrow. Maybe she’ll have time at night? The tickets also seem

expensive! It’d be such a waste if we don’t use them.

“What are you doing?” Mackenzie, who had been in her room, couldn’t resist

coming out and taking a look when she heard Emmanuel pacing in the

hallway. “Why are you loitering in the hall instead of sleeping? I thought you

were a thief!”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Quillen! I didn’t do it on purpose.” In a moment of panic,

Emmanuel reverted to his previous way of addressing Mackenzie.

Mackenzie snorted, “What’s up? Is there something you wish to tell me?”

“Huh? How did you know?” Emmanuel was astonished. She’s caught on so

quickly!

“Nonsense! Why would you be outside my room if you weren’t planning to

talk to me? Spill it already!” Mackenzie frowned at Emmanuel. I’ve never seen

this id*ot squirming so much before.

“Ms. Quillen, it’s because…”

Although Emmanuel’s voice did not waver as he spoke, he sounded

somewhat different from usual. It gave the impression that he was slightly

embarrassed.

“A friend of mine gave me two concert tickets. If you have some free time

tomorrow, would you like to go with me?”

Huh?

Startled, Mackenzie frowned as she asked. “Emmanuel, did you forget our

agreement? Are you trying to pursue me? Are you trying to cause trouble?”

Emmanuel was stunned and looked as though he had been struck by a bolt

of lightning.

What does she mean by causing trouble?
