Chapter 188
“Did you look for me just to ask me that? No, I don’t have a girlfriend, nor am I
interested in getting a boyfriend!”
Having immediately hit off after their first meeting, Emmanuel and Quintus
felt comfortable joking with each other.
“Haha! I’m not looking for a boyfriend either. I’d like to introduce my younger
sister to you if you’re single,” Quintus said. He draped an arm over
Emmanuel’s shoulder and declared proudly, “My younger sister is really
pretty and she’s single too. Would you like to try going out with her?”
“It’s all right. I already have a woman I like.” Emmanuel waved off the
suggestion.
Quintus let out a hearty chuckle. “That’s even better. Here, I have two concert
tickets. I’ll give them to you as repayment for helping me today.”
Emmanuel did not immediately accept them. He asked curiously, “Did your
plan to invite the daughter of the Quillen family not pan out?”
“Yeah, it didn’t work out. But that makes it all the more interesting! That’s how
it should be when chasing girls. Hahaha!” Quintus guffawed. He stuffed the
tickets into Emmanuel’s hand and said, “Take them so they don’t go to waste!
They’re of no use to me anyway.”
Emmanuel saw no reason to turn down the tickets. But I’ve never asked
Mackenzie out. Does this count as a date? What if she thinks I’m trying to hit
on her?
“All right. I’ll be heading off now.” Quintus patted Emmanuel on the shoulder
once more before getting into the car and leaving. He had a strange feeling
that he would meet Emmanuel again very soon.
Clutching the two tickets in hand, Emmanuel rode his electric scooter home.
Morosely, he debated whether he should invite Mackenzie or not.
Forget it. Mackenzie’s always so busy. She’d never go with me. But it’s also
expensive! It’d be such a waste if we don’t use them.
were a thief!”
Mackenzie snorted, “What’s up? Is there something you wish to tell me?”
“Huh? How did you know?” Emmanuel was astonished. She’s caught on so
this id*ot squirming so much before.
“Ms. Quillen, it’s because…”
Although Emmanuel’s voice did not waver as he spoke, he sounded
somewhat different from usual. It gave the impression that he was slightly
embarrassed.
“A friend of mine gave me two concert tickets. If you have some free time
tomorrow, would you like to go with me?”
Huh?
Startled, Mackenzie frowned as she asked. “Emmanuel, did you forget our
agreement? Are you trying to pursue me? Are you trying to cause trouble?”
Emmanuel was stunned and looked as though he had been struck by a bolt
of lightning.
What does she mean by causing trouble?
