Love At The Wrong Table

“Mr. Webber, I know you and your friends need the

income, but these are two different matters. Terence

Group shouldn’t be the one paying for this.”

The veins on Samuel’s head popped when he heard

that.

Just then, Emmanuel suddenly said, “However, our

boss empathizes with you and is willing to pay three

million to be friends with all of you.”

“W–What-”

Samuel’s pupils dilated. He was moved by what he

heard.

Even his subordinates exchanged glances delightedly. They never expected the boss of Terence Group to be

so particular.

Alas, they were blissfully unaware Emmanuel had

secretly reduced their payment. In fact, they were

gladly calling Emmanuel their friend.

It was a typical scenario of being grateful to someone

who betrayed them.

“Very well. We shall be friends with Terence Group.

Come on! Let’s have a toast!”

Samuel gave Emmanuel a toast. It was clear the

former had submitted himself to Emmanuel.

“Cheers!”

As a former soldier, Emmanuel had no fear of hard

liquor.

At the same time, Samuel’s subordinates were loyal

people. Seeing how generous Emmanuel was, they

toasted and praised him for being a good person.

Samuel grew wary as he watched Emmanuel down

glass after glass of hard liquor with no problem.

This man’s not someone to be trifled with. We can only

be friends, never enemies.

Half an hour later, Mackenzie finally arrived at The

Paradise and quickly got out of the car.

Four professional bodyguards followed behind her.

Her gaze was piercing, and her aura was domineering.

When the men outside the nightclub caught sight of

the beautiful woman with her entourage, they cleared

a path and only watched her enter the building.

She was a beauty with great power.

Nonetheless, Mackenzie did not bother glancing at the

bystanders and walked straight into the nightclub.

She had never been so worried about someone, let

alone a man. Even she found the situation

unbelievable.

Similarly, it was the bodyguards‘ first time seeing their

indifferent CEO behaving like that. They could not help

but wonder who she was there to save.

In the next second, Mackenzie halted in her tracks and

fixed her eyes on the two men exiting the entrance.

Emmanuel had his arm across Sheldon’s shoulder and

a cigarette in his mouth. He was even having trouble

walking straight.

She had never been so worried about someone, let

Similarly, it was the bodyguards‘ first time seeing their

indifferent CEO behaving like that. They could not help

but wonder who she was there to save:

In the next second, Mackenzie halted in her tracks and fixed her eyes on the two men exiting the entrance.

Emmanuel had his arm across Sheldon’s shoulder and

a cigarette in his mouth. He was even having trouble

walking straight.

Not only was he injured, but he also drank over twenty

glasses of imported wine that had sixty percent

alcohol. Thus, it was only normal that he was walking

like that.

Sheldon was taken aback when he saw the beautiful

woman with slender legs standing before him. He

could neither tear his eyes away from her nor budge

an inch the moment he saw her face.

Never did he expect to find someone more beautiful

than Elena.

When Emmanuel saw Sheldon suddenly stop in his

tracks, he slowly looked up and noticed Mackenzie’s

presence. He shuddered and sobered up a little.

The two said nothing and merely stared at each other

in silence.

Although Sheldon was clueless about their

relationship, he could read the room. Immediately, he

backed away.

In the meantime, the four bodyguards dared not

approach without Mackenzie’s order.

Suddenly, Emmanuel lost his balance.

Mackenzie instinctively rushed forward to help him up.

That was when she felt the warmth of his body.

At the same time, her nose picked up the stench of

blood.

He fought with others again.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Mackenzie chided, her

brows knitted together. A bitter feeling crept into her

heart.

“Am I not fine now?” Emmanuel laughed out loud as

relief washed over him.

Mackenzie could not help but sigh at the state he was

1. in. I honestly don’t know what to do with him. I was just

speaking mindlessly. I can’t believe he actually went to

such lengths because of what I said.

The four bodyguards were absolutely confounded

after witnessing their CEO holding Emmanuel up.

They knew about Mackenzie’s misandry, and she rarely

shook hands with men. Hence, the sight of her holding

up a man with one hand was a strange occurrence to

them.

Not only that, but Mackenzie even threw them a look, indicating for them to leave the next second.

She still did not want Emmanuel to find out her real

identity.

“Remember what you promised me. Once the project is a success, we have to go home to see my mom.”
