Love at the Wrong Table novel Chapter 2008

 

Local officials had sent people to receive Ethan’s delegation, following 

standard procedures. 

Even though Chester and the local government had provided a security 

team to protect Ethan, Emmanuel Lowe remained by his side, refusing to 

leave even for a moment, accompanying him to the frontlines of the disaster. 

Chester, despite not saying much, treated Emmanuel like a thorn in his side 

and refused to engage with him. 

Emmanuel understood his frustration, but Ethan was one of the candidates 

for the head of state, and his safety was extremely important. He couldn’t 

abandon his duty just because of Chester’s hostility. 

The day’s inspection went smoothly, but the devastation was severe. 

Countless people had lost their homes, and refugees flooded the area. The

Of course, it was Ethan’s job to handle these logistics. Emmanuel’s duty was

However, Emmanuel had a compassionate heart and couldn’t help but worry 

about when the food and supplies would finally reach those in dire need.

Emmanuel had a brief moment to catch his breath and give Mackenzie a

hosts the largest number of trade representatives. I’ll need to focus my 

efforts there,” Mackenzie explained succinctly. 

“I understand.” Emmanuel sighed softly. “I’m in Riverhaven now, not far from 

Silvergate, but duty calls. Even with the short distance, I can’t leave my post 

to see you and Caden. Please forgive me.” 

“You big dummy, what are you talking about?” 

It had been a long time since Mackenzie had scolded him like that. 

Her words, though harsh, felt like home to Emmanuel. He smiled wryly, but his 

heart was warmed by the familiarity. 

“We both have important tasks. We must prioritize the bigger picture. I can 

stay with the baby, but I know it’s tough on you. You’ve got a mission to take 

down Teddy Tanner, avenge your fallen brothers, and help Ethan stabilize the 

country.” Mackenzie reminded him once again.

“I understand, but promise me you’ll prioritize your safety. Let me know 

Immediately if anything happens!” 

“Got it!” 

She gave him a mock glare. “You really don’t trust me to handle things?”

He chuckled. “Of course, I trust you! You’re the top CEO of Yeringham–there’s 

nothing you can’t handle. Still, I can’t help but worry.” 

“Alright, I know you care, but I’ve got serious work to do. Let’s chat more when 

things settle down.” 

Despite her reluctance to hang up, Mackenzie swiftly ended the video call- 

there was something urgent she had to handle. 

To build her reputation, her visit to the West End as the Chairman of Nuthana 

Chamber of Commerce was perfect timing to use disaster relief as a 

backdrop.

Now, she was determined to deliver these supplies to the Witch dess

The center wasn’t exactly a grand building certainly not comparable to the 

ones in Yeringham, but it was spacious enough 

After all, West End was sparsely populated and one of the least develoces 

regions in the country, particularly in terms of commerce 

Mackenzie arrived by car at the building’s entrance, only to hear someone 

shouting angrily. 

She lowered the window, curious about the commotion outside, and saw the 

center’s manager–a middle–aged man in a white uniform–leading a group 

to disperse the people gathered outside. He turned to greet her, recognizing

her immediately as the Chairman of Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. 

“Haha, it’s an honor to have you here, Ms. Quillen! Truly a privilege for West 

End!” 

The middle–aged manager, Anthony Quail, greeted her with flattery as she 

stepped out of the car. 

His group followed suit, throwing compliments at her appearance. 

Even though she hadn’t fully regained her figure after giving birth, her natural 

elegance and stunning looks made her impossible to compare with any 

other woman. 

“Mr. Quail, what’s going on here? Why are there so many people at the relief 

center this late?” Mackenzie asked curiously. 

“Well…” Anthony hesitated for a moment before explaining, “These people are 

refugees, here seeking supplies. They’re unruly and undisciplined, so we’re 

sending them away.”
