Love At The Wrong Table

“Hmph! Serves you right for not being able to find a wife! How dare a rude

and ungentlemanly person like you even think of marrying Milani? Dream

on!” Anger was churning inside of Ruby as she started cursing at

Emmanuel without fully registering what was going on.

Emmanuel was rendered speechless. If they had spoken nicely to him, he

would have been more than willing to find another parking spot. However,

the woman was raving madly like a shrew. He chose to ignore them and

turned to walk away.

“Hey! You shameless man! I will scratch your car if you walk away! Try me

if you don’t believe me!” Ruby bellowed.

“Ruby, just shut up!” Milani quickly intervened.

She was appalled by her cousin’s ignorance. How could she threaten to

scratch a luxury car? Can she afford to pay?

Earlier, Milani had been harboring thoughts of seducing the owner of the

car but was worried that he might not easily succumb. Even worse, he

could already be married! If that were the case, Milani would not stand a

chance no matter how rich he was.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see Emmanuel coming out

of the car.

Milani and Darren had broken up after he intentionally accused her of

hurting his feelings by walking away together with Emmanuel during the

meal back then. He had assumed that she had lost her chance of getting

a promotion after the cat was out of the bag.

However, riding on Emmanuel’s coattails, Milani subsequently managed to

complete the project in time and successfully received her bonus.

Although Walter neither promoted her nor gave her a pay raise due to the

logo incident, it was still a rather good outcome for the woman.

After having a few days to collect her thoughts, Milani concluded that not

only should she not blame Emmanuel, but she should also be grateful to

him. She had also intended to let bygones be bygones since they were

not likely to cross paths again.

Little did she expect to see him driving a Maserati to the mall that day. Did

Terence Group recognize his capabilities and promote him? That’s very

likely!

It was rumored that Terence Group would earn billions in revenue upon

the completion of the strategic warehouse project. Given that Terence

Group was known for treating their talents well, it would not be surprising

for them to give Emmanuel a few million as his reward.

As Ruby was still fuming, she was not aware of her cousin’s feelings.

“Milani, don’t ever entertain this simp again! He has such a bad character.

How could he snatch a woman’s parking spot? Is he even a man?”

“Emmanuel, don’t go!” Milani called out to Emmanuel at once.

Emmanuel let out a helpless sigh, hesitating if he should bother talking to

the two women.

“Ha! It seems that it’s your unlucky day. How does it feel to be

embarrassed in front of the woman of your dreams?” Ruby said while RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

smiling triumphantly.

Unable to bear with it any longer, Miláni suddenly shouted, “Ruby, please

stop! You’re not allowed to scold Emmanuel!”

What?

Ruby was dumbfounded.

Has something gotten into her today?

From what Ruby had observed previously, both at Milani’s house and the

restaurant, it was clear that her cousin despised the man.

Ignoring Ruby, Milani immediately ran after Emmanuel in her high heels

and grabbed his hand.

It was the first time she realized how muscular Emmanuel was. Compared

to Darren, he was way more manly.

She must have been blind previously to reject a man like him.

If given another chance, she would definitely not let him go.

“Ms, Zimmerman, please be mindful of your actions in public. People are

watching us.” Emmanuel shook Milani’s hand away ruthlessly and

continued with a stern expression, “It doesn’t matter who spotted the

parking space first. It belongs to whoever occupies it first! Get it?”

He was waiting for the woman to retort unreasonably, but to his

astonishment, she nodded fervently and replied, “You’re right! I totally

agree! It’s my cousin who’s being ridiculous. I’ll apologize on her behalf!”

What the f*ck? What’s going on? Is she really Milani? Is she sick?

Emmanuel was in utter shock.

Ruby was even more taken aback than Emmanuel. She was so shocked

that her eyeballs were about to fall out. Is she all right? Why is she acting

so strange today?

“Emmanuel, don’t be angry. Aren’t you here to shop? Shall I accompany

you?” Milani said coquettishly while leaning toward the man.

Although she could not compete with Mackenzie in terms of looks, she

was definitely considered a beauty by traditional standards.

If it were any other man, he would have already succumbed to her

seduction.

However, Emmanuel had goosebumps all over his body.

What’s wrong with her today? Did she forget to take her medicine before

coming out?
