Love At The Wrong Table

Gautier had never thought that the other man would have the guts to hit

him, let alone slap him that roughly..

Right as he was about to enter an angry outburst, Emmanuel slapped him

with the back of his hand again.

Smack!

It was only after Emmanuel delivered two slaps to Gautier did he dusted

his hands in satisfaction.

Gautier felt deflated. He wanted to defend himself, but he could not, and

somehow, his anger was shoved out of him.

He fell silent, and he did not even wipe his blood away, letting the droplets

fall from his face.

All he did was glare at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel was unfazed. Glares could not kill, after all.

“Mr. Verkade, it’s time for me to head to work,” he said, then let out a sigh.

“If you had accepted my earlier suggestion, we would have been friends

by now. Why did you reject me?”

Gautier could only laugh in silence, but the look on his face turned icier

and icier as he watched Emmanuel leave with wide eyes.

Meanwhile, the driver who sent Mackenzie to work and was in the Bentley

had his jaw drop in shock.

Gautier hastily left. He did not want others to catch his unsightly

appearance.

Not long after that, Mackenzie emerged from her residential area.

The driver, Wally, quickly drove over to her.

Mackenzie furrowed her brows. “Why did you drive your car here?”

To hide her financial status, she had been instructing her driver to avoid

Emmanuel so that Emmanuel would not find out that she went to work in a

Bentley.

Wally quickly replied, “Ms. Quillen, Emmanuel has already gone to work. I

saw him leave with my own two eyes. He even slapped Mr. Verkade twice

before he left!”

“What?” Mackenzie stiffened. “He slapped Hubert?”

“No, Ms. Quillen. Not Mr. Hubert. It was… It was Mr. Gautier!” Wally informed

in a shaky voice. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“What?” Mackenzie grew even more agitated.

She had thought it was Hubert who had come again. Emmanuel knew that

Hubert was courting him, so she thought he was teaching Hubert a lesson

out of jealousy to stop him from harassing her.

As it turned out, she was completely wrong.

Mackenzie was in disbelief. She could not believe Emmanuel had actually

slapped the CEO of Verkade Group.

If the socialites of Yeringham find out about this, chaos is going to break

out! They’re all going to curse Emmanuel to death!

Even though Mackenzie yearned to beat Gautier up, she had never acted

on her thoughts. She did not expect Emmanuel to hit Gautier instead.

“Wally, why would Emmanuel hit Mr. Gautier?”

“My apologies, Ms. Quillen, but I don’t know either.”

Wally had only seen what happened. He did not know what went on

between Emmanuel and Gautier.

“All right, let’s head to my workplace, then.”

Once Mackenzie was in the Bentley, she called Gautier to find out what the

man was feeling at that moment.

To her knowledge, Gautier had a violent streak despite his attractive

appearance. She was certain that he had to be furious after getting

slapped by Emmanuel.

Yet, much to her surprise, Gautier sounded nonchalant when he picked up

the call. “Hey, Mackenzie, I don’t recall you ever calling me this early in the

morning. Is something the matter?”

“Mr. Gautier, where are you right now?” Mackenzie asked straightforwardly.

“Me? What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly worried about me? I’d think

that you have feelings for me if you keep this up.”

He’s joking at a time like this? Mackenzie drew her brows together. But if

Wally didn’t see the wrong person earlier, then I have to say that Gautier’s

one h*ll of an actor. He was just beaten up by Emmanuel at Yociam

Residence, but he sounds completely fine.

“Mr. Gautier, my driver told me that he saw you getting hit pretty badly by

the entrance of Yociam Residence earlier. As your business partner, I’m

concerned about you,” Mackenzie said honestly, wondering what Gautier

would answer her.

Is it possible that Gautier doesn’t know Emmanuel is my husband?
