Love at the Wrong Table - Season 8 Episode 5

Rhea retreated to her room, feeling quite distressed.

She wouldn’t deny that she had developed for Emmanuel. That day at the

Lenoir Residence, she was captivated by his medical skills and courage.

It was something she had never experienced with any other man before.

She also knew that Emmanuel was married, but were feelings of attraction

something she could control? No!

Rhea was a proponent of not getting married. She had already decided that

if no other man could replace Emmanuel’s position in her heart, she would

just remain single. Being friends with Emmanuel was enough for her.

Now that her parents were forcing her to go on a blind date, she only had one

option: intentionally sabotage it!

Winning someone over was hard, but driving someone away? That was easy!

With this thought in mind, Rhea gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, after discussing with his wife, Juan picked up his phone, ready to

contact the young man from Beacon Hospital.

As the hospital director, a simple phone call should be enough to make the

other party willing to come over.

However, just as he was about to dial, his phone rang.

“Emmanuel?!”

Juan became visibly excited after seeing the caller ID.

He had invited Emmanuel to his home many times to discuss medical skills

“Hello, Emmanuel? Happy New Year! Are you finally free to come over?”

“Happy New Year, Dr. Gomez! If it’s not too presumptuous, I’d like to visit

today.”

“That’s wonderful! I’ll have Rhea cook up some dishes for you! Haha, not to

brag, but Rhea’s cooking is excellent! It’s no inferior to a fancy restaurant!”

“Well, then, thank you in advance for your hospitality, Dr. Gomez!”

“Haha, don’t mention it. I’m looking forward to your visit!”

Juan hung up the phone and immediately stepped out into the living room.

Coincidentally, Rhea walked out of her room as well.

“Rhea, I have some news for you. We have an esteemed guest coming over

shortly. You’ll surely be thrilled to see him. Prepare some of your signature

dishes and wait for him!” Juan said cheerfully.

“Oh…” Rhea responded reluctantly.

She was a well-behaved girl who wouldn’t go against her father’s wishes, but

the thought of cooking for a man she had never met before made her

reluctant.

Humph, it’s not like he’s Emmanuel! I’ll cook the most disgusting dishes and

“poison” you with them. See if you’d dare marry me! By then, he’ll surely keep

his distance! Hehe, I’m so smart, truly worthy of being Emmanuel’s love guru!

She couldn’t help chuckling to herself as the thought crossed her mind.

Seeing her reaction, Juan thought she had guessed that Emmanuel was

coming, so he didn’t say anything more, just smiled and said, “I’ll leave it to

you then. Do your best!”

“Yes, I will definitely do my best!” Rhea nodded, slightly excited.

She might be a well-behaved girl, but everybody had a mischievous side to

them, no?

Thinking about the upcoming prank, she inexplicably felt a bit excited.

Without further ado, she hurried downstairs to buy ingredients.

On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Emmanuel immediately left

his place.

As he walked down to the parking lot, he sensed that someone was secretly

following him.

“Who’s there?!”

Emmanuel quickly turned around and followed the noise. However, when he

reached the stairwell, he found it empty.

Emmanuel didn’t believe he had made a mistake in his judgment. He could

only conclude that the person following him this time was much more skilled

than the one who had followed Mackenzie last time!

“Sent by Magnus?” Emmanuel muttered to himself, suspecting the

involvement of Magnus. However, he pretended to have made a mistake on

the surface, not wanting to reveal his vigilance further.
