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, wee to the inspection! I should be


    apanying 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, Mni 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!


    Mni cursed inwardly before entering the general


    manager’s office.


    “Mr. Zackas, you asked to see me?” she asked, shing


    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!” Mni replied eagerly.


    The project is about to bepleted soon, so I’ll be


    getting a well–deserved promotion and an impressive


    three hundred thousand bonus. By then, I n to throw


    an unforgettable party to show off my sess! 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 reachpletion soon, so nothing can happen at


    this crucial moment, okay?” he cautioned as he patted her


    shoulder lightly.


    know, Mr. Zackas!” Mni responded coyly.


    Walter was her superior, so she needed him to


    approve her promotion and bonus.


    Soon, Mni arrived at the VIP room with fruits and


    drinks.


    shing a smile, she greeted Lexi warmly and


    proceeded to give thetter a warm wee.


    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


    wee us to inspect the progress. We can leave


    right away!”


    “Huh? Ms. Summerton, I don’t understand. I’m


    weing you!” Mni replied innocently.


    “You deliberately ignored our person in charge. How is


    that weing him?”


    “What? The person in charge?” Realization finally struck


    Mni.


    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


    Mni’s shocked expression pleased him to no end.


    “Mr. Lowe, I’m really sorry. Please have some fruit!”


    4


    Mni 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.


    Mni 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.


    Mni couldn’t stand it anymore. When Emmanuel left


    to use the restroom, she purposely asked softly, “Ms.


    Summerton, why would yourpany 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, Mni 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.”


    Mni 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 ce to judge ourpany’s


    personnel!”


    Mni 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 Mni’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


    department about something important. Please


    arrange for a meeting.”


    Upon Emmanuel’s return, he treated Mni 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 upied!


    Mni 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 be so worn down from all the activity


    that they hadpletely 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 sry


    raise that I would soon receive. Who does he think he


    is? His annual ie is only eighty thousand, yet he


    has the audacity to boss me around. This is totally


    uneptable, 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 hemented, “Ms. Mni


    Zimmerman, you did a good job despite your poor


    attitude.”


    Mni felt anger swept over her again.


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    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 thetest design of the building’s


    logo. Remember to update to thetest 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 bepleted by the end


    of this month. In that case, Mackenzie wouldn’t have


    any reason to refuse to go home with me!
