“Your sister is actually wrong about my profession, Manny. I may have
majored in engineering, but I’m actually a project manager!” Jaxton said,
correcting Roselynn’s statement.
Realizing that Roselynn was feeling slightly unhappy, Emmanuel replied with
a smile, “That’s impressive, Jaxton!”
“I wouldn’t say it’s impressive, though. I only got where I am today through
hard work.”
Despite what Jaxton said; he actually had a gleeful look on his face.
Emmanuel believed that it was all right to take pride in one’s hard–earned
achievements, so he didn’t find Jaxton’s behavior inappropriate.
“By the way, what do you do for a living, Manny? How much does your job
pay?” Jaxton asked.
As Jaxton was her boyfriend, Roselynn didn’t stop him from asking such
questions. She figured there was nothing wrong with him getting to know
Emmanuel better.

“I work a full–time job as a gynecologist with an annual salary of eighty
thousand. I also have a part–time job on the side,” Emmanuel replied, making
no attempt to hide it at all.
Jaxton’s expression slid into a frown the moment he heard that. He then
patted Emmanuel on the shoulder and said, “What’s so great about a job like
that? How about this? You can tender your resignation tomorrow and come
work at my company instead! I’ll get you a job with an annual salary of one
hundred thousand and above!”
He had assumed that Emmanuel would be overjoyed and thank him
profusely for the offer.
After all, there was simply no reason for anyone to turn down such a great
offer. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
To his surprise, however, Emmanuel simply rubbed his nose awkwardly
without saying a word.

Jaxton’s eyes lit up with glee as he continued, “You don’t need to feel shy
about it. It’s perfectly normal for people to upgrade themselves. It must be
really hard for you to find yourself a wife with that salary of yours, huh?”
may not look attractive or tall but I have a high social status. Besides, I
managed to get myself a gorgeous girlfriend like Roselynn. Her brother is tall
and strong, but what good has it done him? No pretty woman out there
would be willing to marry a poor guy like him!
“I’m already married, Jaxton.”
Emmanuel’s reply shocked Jaxton so much that he froze on the spot.
“You got married before your sister? Wow! You must’ve found yourself a great
woman, then! I mean, why else would you be so quick to jump into a
marriage?” he asked with a smile after a brief pause.
Of course, Jaxton was obviously being sarcastic with that statement.
His wife must be a mediocre character if they got married so soon! It’s a
common practice among those who know they’re not attractive or
successful to simply settle for convenience.
Unable to stand his attitude any longer, Mackenzie walked up to them and
asked coldly, “Do you have a problem with my husband marrying me so
soon?”
Jaxton tensed up and found himself frozen in shock once again when he saw
her.
He had thought Roselynn was incredibly beautiful, so seeing Emmanuel’s wife
look even prettier shocked him greatly.
Mackenzie’s beautiful appearance, grace, and elegance had completely
surpassed his expectations.
On top of that, he also found her to be rather familiar, but he couldn’t seem to
recall where he had seen her before. Even so, he didn’t dare ask her about it
as he didn’t want others to mistake his question for a cheesy pickup line.
“Manny’s wife sure is gorgeous, huh?” Roselynn asked, showing no sign of
anger toward his reaction whatsoever.
After all, Mackenzie was indeed a lot more beautiful and elegant, so she had
no reason to complain about him reacting like that.
“Haha! She sure is! Everyone in your family looks gorgeous, Roselynn!”
Jaxton’s reply was flawless.
“Thanks for the kind offer, Jaxton. You see, my wife holds a senior executive
position in Terence Group, and my part–time job is to drive her to and from
work. Hence, I’m not looking to change either of my jobs anytime soon,”
Emmanuel said, shocking Jaxton once more.
If she is working in Terence Group, then she must earn a pretty high salary!
Manny sure is a loser for depending on a woman!
“Come on, Emmanuel! Let’s go get you changed right now! I told you others
would look down on you if they saw you in this outfit!” Mackenzie said,
exposing Jaxton’s thoughts without any hesitation.
The look on Jaxton’s face turned slightly gloomy, but he didn’t say anything in
response.
