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 hometer than


    usual, not arriving until half past ten.


    “Ms. Quillen, you came hometer 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 rtives. If


    you were to suddenly change your mind and not


    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.


    Everyone knows I hate being threatened. I can’t believe


    he’s so bold to threaten me!


    Despite the fact that she had made amitment to go and visit his family earlier, she changed her


    mind


    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 toplete.”


    “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


    urred.”


    Mackenzie retrieved a sh drive and ced it in front of him. “Following today’s strategic meeting, we


    have


    must be changed. Tomorrow, you need to persuade


    Cloud Construction to alter the logo in ordance


    with the new design withoutpromising the


    timeline of the project.”


    Emmanuel’s brows scrunched up, but he epted the


    sh drive nheless.


    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.


    Toplete 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


    imed that thepany tasked her to assist him


    with the Cloud Construction project’s alteration so it


    could bepleted by the designated date.


    Emmanuel agreed to meet her. When he arrived at the


    ce 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 lovelydy.


    “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, wee. Please excuse me for my


    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


    wee.


    “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 be the


    person in charge?


    Walter could barely hide his shock.


    He waspletely unaware that the individual


    apanying Lexi had a greater standing than her as


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    he assumed that Terence Group had been considerate


    enough to send Lexi as a representative.


    I can’t take their visit lightly!
