Love At The Wrong Table

hapter 28

For some reason, Emmanuel felt rather awkward when

he nodded at Claudette to greet her.

Why would this gorgeous woman address Roselynn so

affectionately, and yet, call me “Dr. Lowe“? That makes

it sound as though I’m much older than Roselynn!

“Ah, Claudette! We were just talking about you!”

Roselynn said while holding Claudette’s hand after

hugging her.

The two women appeared to be such good friends Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

that Emmanuel couldn’t even tell that they were

superior and subordinate.

“Huh? Talking about me? What were you two talking

about?”

Claudette got a little nervous after hearing that and

eyed Emmanuel from head to toe. Fearing that he

would notice, she quickly averted her gaze and tried

her best to appear calm.

Her only encounter with Emmanuel was when she

went to him for treatment, so her face burned bright

red when she recalled that experience.

For some reason, she felt as though her bottom was

completely exposed whenever she was around him.

“Manny and I would like to have a look at the banquet

hall upstairs. Could you bring us there, Claudette?”

Roselynn asked.

Claudette was both relieved and disappointed at the

same time when she heard that.

“Oh, that’s what you two were talking about? Sure

thing!”

She agreed to it without any hesitation.

“Thanks, Ms. Lenoir. I might be able to find my sister a

suitable boyfriend!”

Although Emmanuel was dense, he was sharp enough

to crack jokes every now and then.

Seeing as Roselynn and Claudette were such close

friends, he figured it would be fine to tell her about his

plans.

“Heh… You’re welcome! You know, I can help

recommend some guys to your sister if she’s looking

for a boyfriend!” Claudette replied with a smile.

“That would be great! I’ll be counting on you to

recommend any CEOS or handsome male friends to

my sister!” Emmanuel said before Roselynn could even

respond.

“No problem at all!” Claudette promised while making

an “OK” gesture.

Roselynn was a little taken aback when she saw the

friendly interaction between Claudette and Emmanuel.

The two were even working together to find her a

husband.

Why does it feel like Claudette only has eyes for

Manny? I’m the one she’s close with!

“What about you, Dr. Lowe? If I recall correctly, your sister told me that you were struggling to find yourself a girlfriend. Do you need me to recommend you some pretty women from wealthy families?” Claudette asked

all of a sudden.

Um…

Having been caught off guard, Emmanuel fell into an

awkward silence when he heard that.

Roselynn was just as surprised as he was.

That’s strange… I don’t remember Claudette being so

friendly with other guys, let alone offering to get them

a girlfriend! Everybody knows that Claudette is a very

ambitious woman, so there’s no way she’d have that

much time to chat up random guys! Is she being

friendly to Manny because he’s my brother?

“Actually, I’m already married, Ms. Lenoir.”

“Huh?”

That sudden revelation from Emmanuel shocked

Claudette so much that it left her stunned for a good

few seconds.

While Emmanuel and Roselynn were clueless about it,

Lexi, who was tasked with keeping an eye on

Emmanuel, had noticed something off about

Claudette’s responses.

Hmm… Ms. Lenoir sure seems rather interested in Ms.

Mackenzie’s husband! Is Ms. Lenoir in love with him?

Heh… If she is, then things are definitely going to get

interesting! Regardless, I should let Ms. Mackenzie see

this!

With that in mind, Lexi quickly took pictures of them,

thinking of showing Mackenzie the pictures later on.

Claudette looked a little angry as she questioned

Roselynn, “Have you been lying to me, Roselynn? You

told me two weeks ago that your brother never had a

girlfriend! Why is he already married now?”

Roselynn let out a wry chuckle in response. “You’ll have to ask him about that. I had no idea about it until he told us a few days ago!”
