Chapter 59

Chapter 59 With that, Mackenzie stood up, her face devoid of expression. Emmanuel instantly leaped to his feet and raced to guard his plate of pasta. The pasta looked really delicious, and the plating was perfect. Every noodle was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauces and garnishes were artistically arranged on the plate. Emmanuel found himself silently admiring her for her thoughtfulness. If he had been the one responsible for preparing the pasta, he doubted he would have taken the extra step to make sure it was presented nicely. Mackenzie was amused to see him gulping down the plate of pasta in two mouthfuls. She remarked icily, “Did you go to inspect a project, or were you recently released from jail? Why were you famished?” “Inspecting a project is more tiring than going to jail!” After clearing the plate, Emmanuel licked his lips, obviously wanting more. He gave her a thumbs–up and a wide grin. “This is amazing! You’re an incredible cook, way better than me.” Mackenzie’s lips curled slightly, but her smile quickly slipped away. She retorted, “Even if you flatter me, that doesn’t mean I’ll make it for you again. By the way, how is the project progressing?” “Everything is going well. After the logo is done, they will affix it and deliver it in a timely manner,” Emmanuel explained. He quickly added, “Remember your promise to pay my family a visit after the project completion. My mom has already extended an invitation to both Uncle Benny and Uncle Chester’s families!” “It’s a formal visit?” Mackenzie frowned upon hearing that the visit was a formal one as she had never been fond of attending formal dinners. Nevertheless, she didn’t say no outright and ordered coldly, “Clear the table. I’m going to wash up and go to bed.” Emmanuel watched with a fond smile as she ambled away. He was filled with a sense of satisfaction and joy, knowing that in two days, he would finally be able to fulfill his mother’s wish. The following day, Walter summoned Milani to his office. “Milani, you have done an outstanding job of managing the project and making sure that all the details were taken care of. Your commitment to this project has been remarkable. After the handover tomorrow, I will apply for your bonus and pay raise.” “Thank you, Mr. Zackas!” Milani thanked him excitedly. She was so overjoyed that she felt the urge to embrace him and give him a kiss. I have suffered through countless encounters with the exasperatingly useless Emmanuel, but my suffering is finally coming to an end. I must confront him after the handover tomorrow. Walter continued, “I’m not the one who deserves your gratitude. You should thank Mr. Lowe instead.” He was aware that it was only due to Emmanuel’s efforts in dealing with the persistent Samuel that the project was able to be completed and delivered on schedule. Alas, Milani despised Emmanuel so much and would never thank him for his efforts. That b*stard only went all out for his commission. He wasn’t sincere in helping me. Why would I thank him?

That very night, Alessandra was bubbling with enthusiasm when she called Emmanuel. “Manny, Uncle Chester’s family will come to help us out that day. We must decorate our place and prepare a spread for Mackenzie!” she exclaimed happily. “Mackenzie is free on Sunday, right?” She wanted to be sure. As the days leading up to the weekend grew shorter, Alessandra’s excitement grew ever stronger. “Yeah. We’ll be there,” Emmanuel assured her. The project would end tomorrow, and he would be bringing the ice queen home three days later. “I’m glad to hear that! You should be incredibly thankful that you have such an incredible wife.” Alessandra was obviously over the moon. Emmanuel let out a chuckle, but on the inside, he was feeling bitter. Mackenzie might be capable, but that doesn’t mean she’s a good wife! Alessandra suddenly changed the topic. “By the way, the Zimmerman family invited us to dinner tomorrow night. They sounded enthusiastic, so I said yes.” Taken aback, Emmanuel frowned and asked, “Which Zimmerman family?” Don’t tell me she’s talking about Milani’s family.
