Love At The Wrong Table

The Lowe siblings soon reached Regal Hotel.

The banquet that day was grand, and several floors of

the hotel were reserved for the occasion.

The guests were all dressed to their nines with

branded clothes and accessories. It was almost as if

they were at a fashion show instead.

in contrast, Roselynn’s appearance was dull, and

Emmanuel’s was even shabbier.

When they arrived at the entrance, Roselynn handed

the guard her invitation.

The guard let her in after a glance at it, but he stopped

Emmanuel. “Mister, where is your invitation?”

Emmanuel quickly turned to his sister. I thought she

said she can have a plus–one with her invitation.

Roselynn immediately put her hands on her hips and

glared at the guard. “Did you see what kind of

invitation this is? This is an invitation from the Lenoir Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

family. Is there any problem with me bringing a relative

in?”

“Miss, no one other than the host is allowed to invite

irrelevant individuals to the event,” the guard insisted,

but his coworker soon gave him a look to gesture him

to drop the case.

If things were to blow up, the guard would be

embarrassing the Lenoir family.

Furthermore, there were plenty of guests that day. It

would do no one any harm if they were to let a few

more people into the area.

“Go on in, then,” the guard finally said, relenting.

“Hmph! I’m glad they’re smart enough. I would’ve gone

to my boss otherwise.”

Roselynn was still angry after entering the building. Yet,

she could not help but think about how prestigious the

Lenoir family had to be for her to get special treatment

just by saying that her invitation was from the Lenoirs.

Even though Claudette was technically her employer,

she was often working alongside Roselynn. The two of

them were so close to each other to the point they

were almost best friends if not for their status

difference.

If Claudette were to find out that Roselynn had a bad

time at the event, Roselynn was sure that Claudette

would stand up for her.

“Calm down, Roselynn. We’re in here now, aren’t we?”

Emmanuel consoled her, and Roselynn finally let go of

her anger.

In the next second, she spotted the scrumptious dishes

on the table, and she lunged over as if she was a

starving lion.

Emmanuel could not help but shake his head at the

sight of that. It’s one thing for her to gobble down her

food like this at home, but it’s another to throw all care

about her image to the wind out in the public!

In no time, Roselynn was forcing her brother to take

plate after plate of food. After that, he put them all

down on a table in the corner.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Emmanuel

said, “Roselynn, you came here to eat until the end of

the event, didn’t you?”

“Why else would I be here?” Roselynn shamelessly

admitted.

“But Roselynn, aren’t you here to check out handsome

fellows? Mom even asked me to help you size them up

and to play the wingman if there’s someone suitable

for you,” Emmanuel exclaimed.

Not knowing how to deal with a serious Emmanuel,

Roselynn frowned and said, “I can eat and check out

handsome guys at the same time.”

Left without a choice, Emmanuel took a seat beside his

sister and started digging into the food. It was free,

after all, and he would be a fool to refrain from all food

that night.

Not long after the two of them started polishing off the

plates before them, a commotion broke out in the

area.

Everybody was walking toward the doorway,

screaming enthusiastically.

“What’s the matter? Who’s here?”

Roselynn was curious. She wondered if a rich attractive

man was making a grand appearance like those

romance shows she watched.

Emmanuel had no idea what was going on, and he

curiously rose to his feet like his sister to take a better

-look at the situation.

Alas, the crowd up ahead was large. Even though

Emmanuel and Roselynn were tall, they still could not

see who was in the middle of the crowd.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie and her cousin, Beatrix, were

being escorted by a group of bodyguards as they

walked up the stairs while the guests of the banquet

surrounded them.

Mackenzie radiated beauty, and she was also tall,

slender, and exuded a captivating aura. Every time she

made an appearance at social events, she would

make heads turn.

Even though Beatrix was not as beautiful as her, her

sweet and endearing looks made her the target of

many scions‘ courtships.

Furthermore, the star of the night was their aunt, who

had recently been promoted to the city’s deputy

mayor. The two of them were the daughters of the

wealthiest family in Yeringham, and they were also the

deputy mayor’s nieces. Naturally, they would also be in

the spotlight.

“Ms. Quillen! Ms. Quillen!”
