Chapter 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
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. NôvelDrama.Org content.
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!”
