Chapter 54


    Emmanuel thanked her immediately, “Thank you!


    Whether it works or not, I’m grateful to you.”


    Mackenzie put on a disdainful smile. Hmph. Derek will


    definitely listen to me.


    Regardless, she simply murmured a reply before


    ignoring Emmanuel.


    Go on and treat other women to meals. Wait. Didn’t I


    swear not to help him anymore? Why did I agree to his


    request? Ugh! I swear I won’t help this idiot next time!


    The next day, Derek was summoned to the


    headquarters.


    He felt extremely nervous, thinking Alessandra had put


    him in great trouble.


    After all, Mackenzie’s temper was known by everyone in


    Terence Group.


    He figured he was going to be reprimanded harshly for being unreachable yesterday and also for being


    a dayte in submitting the data she wanted–the data he


    had stayed up all night to redo.


    Getting reprimanded was still fine. He feared


    Mackenzie would fire him out of anger since several


    managers had been fired in the past because of the


    same thing.


    “M–Ms. Quillen.” Derek knocked on the door and


    entered the CEO’s office. He stood straight with his


    head lowered like a little boy who made a mistake.


    “Hello. Where’s the data?” asked Mackenzie


    indifferently without lifting her head.


    “It’s here.” Derek hurriedly ced the printed document


    on her table.


    Mackenzie looked through the document without


    sparing him a nce.


    Derek was so nervous that the muscles all over his


    body tensed up. He was afraid Mackenzie might throw


    就


    the document at him and tell him to get lost.


    Derek was his family’s breadwinner. If he lost his


    high–sried job, he would not be able to pay for the


    mortgage, car loan, and even his children’s education.


    He did not dare to think further.


    After reading the document, Mackenzie finally lifted her


    head slightly.


    Derek had no guts to meet the beautiful woman’s


    gaze. In fact, only a handful of men in Yeringham


    dared to meet her gaze.


    I wonder what kind of man can conquer her and make


    her his wife? Her mother–inw must fear her, too.


    “Well done on the document. Remember to report to

    the receptionist when there’s a problem with your


    phone in the future.”


    Mackenzie’s words stunned Derek. He even wondered if


    he was hearing things.


    She’s not scolding me? Does that mean I won’t be


    demoted or fired?


    “Y–Yes! I’ll keep that in mind, Ms. Quillen!” Derek


    promised instantly, feeling much relieved.


    “Is yourptop and phone fixed?”


    “Y–Yes!”


    “How much did it cost?”


    “Around three thousand.”


    Derek could not believe Mackenzie was actually


    concerned about him.


    Most importantly, he did not expect her to nod and


    say, “Prepare the receipts and submit a


    reimbursement form to the finance department.”


    “Huh?” Derek was shocked beyond words. It took him


    some time before he nodded. “Okay, Ms. Quillen.”


    Normally, thepany would not reimburse


    employees for idents like that. However, he


    guessed it would not be a problem since Mackenzie


    had given him the green light.


    “The cleaner doesn’t have it easy, either. Don’t hold her


    ountable,” Mackenzie added.


    “Of course, Ms. Quillen. I understand.”


    Actually, Derek did not. In fact, he was puzzled as to


    why the mighty CEO would care for a cleaner.


    Nheless, the fact that he could be a


    department manager meant he was smart. As soon as


    he stepped out of the office, he came to a realization.


    Could that cleaner be acquainted with Ms. Quillen? Do


    they have some kind of rtionship?
