He came to an abrupt stop and felt a surge of tension as he read the texts
he had received.
One text read: Manny, what on earth is Milani doing? She just posted on
her Instagram, openly confessing her feelings for you and stating that
you’re her future boyfriend! If your wife sees this, you won’t be able to
explain yourself!
Another read: Emmanuel, you’re amazing! This is the first time I see a
woman openly pursuing a man. Doesn’t Milani know that you’re married?
Another text went: Emmanuel, you sly dog! I can’t believe you’ve been
keeping this a secret. You told me you’ve never been in a relationship
before, and now a beautiful woman has publicly declared her love for you!
His friend also texted him: My friend, you’re good at flirting, huh? Can you
teach me? I’m willing to pay for your time!
Emmanuel’s mind went blank. He had no time to reply to all the texts as he
quickly clicked on Instagram.
Previously, he had followed Milani’s Instagram due to work purposes.
Indeed, he saw a post dedicated to him in her profile.
She’s crazy! Is she out of her mind? If this situation spirals out of control
and Mackenzie finds out, I won’t be able to explain myself!
Right then, another new post was uploaded.
Emmanuel refreshed the page and felt his energy drain out of him. He
leaned against the wall weakly..
The caption read: Emmanuel, I have fallen head over heels for you! Destiny
brought us together on that blind date, and now we got to know each
other better through work. I truly believe that we are meant to be a loving couple in real life very soon! Emmanuel, you are mine, and I will go to great lengths to win your heart and make you mine! To all my Instagram friends,
1 kindly ask for your support in this endeavor. And when I succeed, I
promise to deliver sweet treats to each and every one of you!
Accompanying the post was a series of photos showcasing their
moments together, from their blind date to their interactions at work. To
those unaware of the situation, it would be easy to assume that they were
intimately connected and romantically linked to one another.
Claudette’s phone call arrived almost immediately.
“Dr. Lowe, what is going on? Roselynn told me that a lady named Milani
Zimmerman is professing her love to you. You’re quite the lady killer, huh?”
Claudette teased, but it was obvious that she held a grudge over the
matter.
Emmanuel was speechless, not knowing how to respond to her.
I said nothing nor did anything. Why did I become famous suddenly?
“Dr. Lowe, is Ms. Zimmerman the girlfriend you mentioned previously?”
Claudette asked.
Clearly, that was the reason she had made the call in haste. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
If Emmanuel admitted that Milani was his girlfriend, she reckoned she
would still stand a chance.
“No! Of course not. Milani and I are not romantically linked. Thanks for your
concern, Ms. Lenoir,” Emmanuel explained quickly.
“Oh, I see!” came Claudette’s reply.
Despite her smile, she felt bitter inside. It looks like there are many women
who have the same taste as me!

After the call ended, Emmanuel was no longer in the mood to buy any
gifts.
I must address this situation with Mackenzie immediately. If she were to
discover this from an external source, it would only reignite her suspicions
and doubts about me.
Emmanuel contemplated reaching out to Mackenzie, but he knew she
was preoccupied and unlikely to discover the situation so soon. He
hesitated, concerned that contacting her at this moment might be
misconstrued as showing off or seeking attention rather than genuinely
wanting to explain things.
Ugh, how annoying!
To his surprise, Mackenzie’s call arrived.
“Emmanuel, where are you?”
“Me? I’m at Midcloud Mall. I’m alone.”
“Why are you there? Wait, why did you specifically mention that you’re
alone?”
Emmanuel had no answers for her questions.
Fortunately, Mackenzie didn’t press for answers and continued, “I’m going
to get off work soon. Pick me up at the same spot where you dropped me
off this morning.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll be there soon!”
Judging from Mackenzie’s tone, Emmanuel assumed she still had no idea
about the posts on Instagram.
Given that Milani and Mackenzie were not in the same social circle, there
was a possibility that the news had not yet reached Mackenzie.
