Chapter 56

Chapter 56 No matter what, I’ll have to confront her tonight and get a confirmation. Having made up his mind, Emmanuel went home after getting off work and waited for Mackenzie’s return anxiously. To his frustration, Mackenzie came home later than usual, not arriving until half past ten. “Ms. Quillen, you came home later than usual today, huh?” Emmanuel broke the silence. Mackenzie was busy. She gave her husband a grunt instead of a verbal response. Obviously, she was going to grab her pajamas, take a shower, and go to bed. Emmanuel knew she would sleep at eleven sharp, so he stood in front of her, blocking her path. “What is it?” Mackenzie frowned. “Ms. Quillen, you promised to pay my family a visit, so my mom has gone out of her way to make all the necessary arrangements, even inviting our relatives. If you were to suddenly change your mind and not come, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her.” After a pause, he added, “If you don’t keep your word, I’ll have no choice but to let your grandpa know.” Mackenzie scoffed in disdain.

Despite the fact that she had made a commitment to go and visit his family earlier, she changed her mind later as she believed he had spent a romantic evening with someone else. Now that the truth had been unveiled, she couldn’t help but think that he was a fool. “Since you brought this up, I have a task that I need you to complete.” “What is it, Ms. Quillen?” Emmanuel asked politely. I can do anything as long as she agrees to meet my family. “I promised to visit your family if Cloud Construction’s project ends on time, but a minor problem has occurred.” Mackenzie retrieved a flash drive and placed it in front of him. “Following today’s strategic meeting, we have come to the conclusion that the logo for the building must be changed. Tomorrow, you need to persuade Cloud Construction to alter the logo in accordance with the new design without compromising the timeline of the project.” Emmanuel’s brows scrunched up, but he accepted the flash drive nonetheless. He knew that Mackenzie wasn’t trying to make things difficult for him on purpose. She had just helped his mother out, so he was obliged to return her favor. “Good luck!” Mackenzie parted her lips to utter some words of encouragement for formality’s sake before returning to her room. Rather than delegating the task to someone else, she wanted him to demonstrate his worthiness and potential so she could promote him to a higher rank in Organization. the Though my husband may be foolish at times, I cannot stand the sight of him and Alessandra struggling with financial woes. To complete Mackenzie’s task, Emmanuel had to request a half–day leave of absence from the hospital where he worked. Early the next day, he was contacted by a woman who claimed that the company tasked her to assist him with the Cloud Construction project’s alteration so it could be completed by the designated date. Emmanuel agreed to meet her. When he arrived at the place where they agreed to meet, he was surprised to see a familiar BMW. The woman who stepped out of the vehicle was none other than Lexi. “Mr. Lowe, we meet again!” Lexi wasn’t as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie, but she was still a stylish and lovely lady. “Oh, it’s you. Do you work at Terence Group, too?” Back when Emmanuel helped Lexi to get rid of the scammer at the café, he left without getting her contact details. Thus, he knew nothing about her. “Yes, I am a senior secretary at Terence Group,” Lexi revealed honestly as she stretched her hand out calmly. Emmanuel shook her hand. They then got into her BMW and headed to Cloud Construction, RA “Ms. Summerton, welcome. Please excuse me for my lack of hospitality.” The project manager of the Cloud Construction project was a middle–aged man going by the name of Walter Zackas. Naturally, he was aware of Lexi’s important role as Mackenzie’s closest ally and came to give her a warm welcome. “Mr. Zackas, let me introduce you to the person in charge of this project, Mr. Emmanuel Lowe.” Lexi personally made the introductions. Emmanuel was surprised. When did I become the person in charge? Walter could barely hide his shock. He was completely unaware that the individual accompanying Lexi had a greater standing than her as he assumed that Terence Group had been considerate enough to send Lexi as a representative.
