Chapter 47

Chapter 47 At almost ten that night, Mackenzie sat on the living room couch while drinking milk, applying a facial mask, and scrolling through her Instagram. That was her routine before bed every night. She wasn’t doing it for entertainment purposes, but she was actually keeping an eye out for business news on Instagram. However, she accidentally stumbled upon Claudette’s post. Since she and Claudette were both from families involved in business, they were friends and competitors at the same time. Oh? Ms. Lenoir is having dinner with a man tonight. Judging from the caption, it seems like the man has taken her out for dinner, and she’s showing off on social media! A smile appeared on Mackenzie’s face. I got married secretly, and Ms. Lenoir, who had been single all this while, had also found herself a man! Click! Right then, the front door was pushed open, and Emmanuel was seen walking in. Mackenzie swept a glance at him, and she initially wanted to ignore him. However, she suddenly looked at him again when she realized something was amiss. Mackenzie was utterly shocked by what she was seeing. Why is he wearing the same outfit as the man Ms. Lenoir was having dinner with? Mackenzie checked the photo Claudette uploaded once again, and she came to a conclusion immediately. He’s the man in the photo! The man Claudette showed off on Instagram is my husband! Mackenzie was enraged, but she concealed it. Emmanuel didn’t notice anything odd about Mackenzie’s behavior. He then glanced at the kitchen and saw everything was still where they were before. “Did you not have dinner tonight? You can’t replace proper meals with snacks. You aren’t doing your digestive system any good.” Just as Emmanuel was giving his advice, he turned around and suddenly sensed a drop in the room temperature. With an icy glare, Mackenzie asked, “Mr. Lowe, which woman did you have a romantic dinner with?” Emmanuel was startled, but he replied truthfully, “It wasn’t a romantic dinner. I was merely buying dinner for a friend.” “Oh? Did you borrow money from me to buy dinner for a woman? You’re a generous man, aren’t you?” Mackenzie flashed a half–smile. How dare this man borrow money from his wife to take another woman out for dinner? What a clever move! Emmanuel could tell Mackenzie was pissed off, and he found it weird. “Ms. Quillen, I bought her dinner because she helped me today! I’ll pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible.” Mackenzie got even more annoyed upon hearing that. I’m legally his wife. I lent him money and helped his mom get into the ward. In return, he left me at home to have dinner with another woman! How is that appropriate? All men are trashy! “Since you’ve said that, please pay me back the money on time next month!” Mackenzie demanded in a cold tone and walked toward the room. As soon as she arrived at the door to the room, she suddenly said, “Also, I might be busy early next month. I’ll have to see if I can still visit your place!” What? Emmanuel had an innocent expression on his face. This woman had always been cold and indifferent, but she had never been petty. In fact, she doesn’t look like someone who breaks promises. What’s with her tonight? She already promised to meet Mom. Why is she going back on her words now? Mom is going to be disappointed if she doesn’t show up. Roselynn is going to get angry as well. Ugh… I’ll just see how things go. For now, I need to find ways to make more money. Otherwise, I won’t be able to overcome my financial difficulties. When Emmanuel was at work the next day, he was using his phone to browse for a part–time job on the internet. After filtering the options and sorting the options based on the salaries offered, the offer that ranked first was a job offered by Terence Group. “A part–time representative of projects with a base salary of four thousand, excluding commission?” Emmanuel mumbled to himself and read the job –description. This job is rather similar to the mission Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mackenzie gave me before. She gave me the task privately, and I didn’t have to undergo the recruitment process the last time around. That was why I wasn’t paid. Well, I need money urgently, and I have experience doing this. Mmm, it seems like this is my best option! That afternoon, Emmanuel asked Frederick to fill in for him and left the hospital earlier so that he could go for the interview at Terence Group. He thought there wouldn’t be many going after the job since the position was low and the salary was average compared to other positions. However, when he arrived at Terrence Group for the interview, the place was packed. People of all ages and genders were there, hoping to get the job. 7/7  717
