Chapter 57

Chapter 57 “Oh? Mr. Lowe, you’re the person in charge of the project?” Walter took his hand warmly. “Uh, yes. Nice to meet you,” Emmanuel replied after giving Lexi a quick look. “Mr. Lows, welcome to the inspection! I should be accompanying you, but I have an important meeting to attend. I’ll arrange for the project supervisor to bring you around!” “Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zackas “I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for understanding Please wait in the VIP reception roorn!” Water was incredibly thankful that Emmanuel had such on agesable personality. Soon, Milani made her way to the general manager’s office hastily. The sight of Emmanuel enjoying the air conditioner and delicious food in the VIP reception room made her grit her teeth in anger. Ha! That b*stard must be here by assuming someone else’s authority as his own. Look how he is lying through his teeth to swindle for food and drinks! Milani cursed inwardly before entering the general manager’s office. “Mr. Zackas, you asked to see me?” she asked, flashing a sweet smile. Her attitude did a one–eighty. Walter was busy preparing the documents for his meeting. Without looking up, he ordered, “Ah, yes. Terence Group’s person in charge is here, so please take care of that person on my behalf.” “Okay!” Milani replied eagerly. The project is about to be completed soon, so I’ll be getting a well–deserved promotion and an impressive three hundred thousand bonus. By then, I plan to throw an unforgettable party to show off my success! I must invite that useless Emmanuel so he’ll see the difference between us. It’ll be a great chance for me to humiliate him. Serves him right for being so smug previously! Walter rose from his seat and approached her. “I trust you to do a good job. The project is about to reach completion soon, so nothing can happen at this crucial moment, okay?” he cautioned as he patted her shoulder lightly. know, Mr. Zackas!” Milani responded coyly. Walter was her superior, so she needed him to approve her promotion and bonus. Soon, Milani arrived at the VIP room with fruits and drinks. Flashing a smile, she greeted Lexi warmly and proceeded to give the latter a warm welcome. As for Emmanuel, she merely provided him with water as he was just the third party. Seeing that, Lexi chided, “Ms. Zimmerman, what is the meaning of this? You can be frank if you don’t welcome us to inspect the progress. We can leave right away!” “Huh? Ms. Summerton, I don’t understand. I’m welcoming you!” Milani replied innocently. “You deliberately ignored our person in charge. How is that welcoming him?” “What? The person in charge?” Realization finally struck Milani. The person in charge of the project isn’t Lexi but Emmanuel? What the heck is going on? Why would a gynecologist be the person in charge of Terence Group’s project? Seeing her distress, Emmanuel smiled in response. He didn’t know what was going on, but the sight of Milani’s shocked expression pleased him to no end. “Mr. Lowe, I’m really sorry. Please have some fruit!” 4 Milani offered the fruits she had personally cut to him. “Mm, you did a good job by cutting the fruits. Can you open that durian for me? It’s my favorite fruit!” Emmanuel grinned as he pointed at the durian on the table. Milani went cold with fury. Mr. Lowe, you’re quite a picky eater, huh? Despite her fury, she had to do as told. D*mn it. Do I have no choice but to give in even though Emmanuel is merely assuming someone else’s authority? I can’t believe Terence Group hired him to be their person in charge. Is it because he helped them get rid of the ruffians? It took her a lot of time and effort to open the durian. Milani couldn’t stand it anymore. When Emmanuel left to use the restroom, she purposely asked softly, “Ms. Summerton, why would your company hire a part–timer to be in charge of the project?” Jacob had been on his way to Terence Group for an interview when he unexpectedly ran into Emmanuel previously. As a result, Milani was aware that Emmanuel had interviewed for a part–time job there. She was dying to know how Emmanuel became the person in charge of the project in such a short time. “Ms. Zimmerman, are you doubting Terence Group’s decision?” Lexi retorted coldly. “Of course not, Ms. Summerton. You’ve got it wrong. I wouldn’t dare question your decision. I was just curious.” Milani knew that Lexi was the CEO’s secretary in Terence Group, so she dared not offend her. “Ms. Zimmerman, I’d advise you to focus on your own duties. You are not in the place to judge our company’s personnel!” Milani was caught off guard by Lexi’s icy retort. Why does it seem to me that Lexi is Emmanuel’s subordinate? What the heck is going on? Emmanuel happened to return and heard Milani’s words. It was pretty obvious to him what she had in mind. Since she’s hostile to me, I shouldn’t show her any mercy! “Ms. Zimmerman, please make a copy of this document.” “Ms. Zimmerman, please show us the progress of the project.” “Ms. Zimmerman, I need to talk to the engineering S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. department about something important. Please arrange for a meeting.” Upon Emmanuel’s return, he treated Milani as if she were a servant, barking orders at her in a manner that was far from appropriate. Since she has some spare time to learn more about me, I’ll keep her occupied! Milani had an extremely busy day running errands, and by the time she was done, her calves were sore and swollen from the excessive walking. On top of that, her heels had become so worn down from all the activity that they had completely broken apart. A wave of fury crashed through her as she twisted her heels off and threw them onto the ground. I would’ve fallen out with Emmanuel if it weren’t for my three hundred thousand bonus, promotion, and salary raise that I would soon receive. Who does he think he is? His annual income is only eighty thousand, yet he has the audacity to boss me around. This is totally unacceptable, considering I make three hundred thousand a year. By half past five, Emmanuel was ready to get off work. A smile nudged his lips as he commented, “Ms. Milani Zimmerman, you did a good job despite your poor attitude.”  Milani felt anger swept over her again. Why does it sound like he’s giving me a rating after enjoying my services as a masseur? F*ck you, Emmanuel! Just you wait! “By the way, this is the latest design of the building’s logo. Remember to update to the latest one!” The main objective of Emmanuel’s visit was to get to know the progress of the project. He breathed a sigh of relief upon finding out that the logo had not yet been put up, affording the Terence Group the opportunity to make the necessary alteration to the logo. It means that the project can be completed by the end of this month. In that case, Mackenzie wouldn’t have any reason to refuse to go home with me!
