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


    feltfortable 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 dered 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 ept them. He asked curiously, “Did your


    n 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


    Saturday tomorrow. Maybe she’ll have time at night? The tickets also seem


    expensive! It’d be such a waste if we don’t use them.


    “What are you doing?” Mackenzie, who had been in her room, couldn’t resist


    hallway. “Why are you loitering in the hall instead of sleeping? I thought you


    were a thief!”


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Quillen! I didn’t do it on purpose.” In a moment of panic,


    Emmanuel reverted to his previous way of addressing Mackenzie.


    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


    quickly!


    “Nonsense! Why would you be outside my room if you weren’t nning to


    talk to me? Spill it already!” Mackenzie frowned at Emmanuel. I’ve never seen

    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?
