Chapter 415


    “Mr. Langstrom, I’m counting on you to expand our business to the market in


    the Southeast region.” Mackenzie spoke coldly, demonstrating her efficiency


    in delegating duties. As soon as she dismissed the meeting, everybody else


    left, whereupon she sat down in her seat in exhaustion. At that moment, Lexi


    was the only one who was still keeping herpany in the conference room.


    “It’s been two weeks, but why hasn’t that moron responded to my message?”


    Mackenzie gently rubbed her temples and murmured to herself, although


    she sounded like she was asking someone a question.


    As someone who knew Mackenzie well, Lexi had been carefully observing her

    for the past few days. Until she saw how concerned Mackenzie was about


    Emmanuel, she never thought her boss would miss a man so dearly.


    Maybe it’s true that the power of love is unimaginable. Lexi nudged her own.


    sses,plimenting herself for making a smart move to stay single. It


    looks like I’m doing the right thing without dating anyone, or I’m going to be


    the one suffering.


    “Answer me, Lexi.”


    When Mackenzie set her piercing gaze upon Lexi, thetter felt shivers


    running down her spine and quickly answered, “Ms. Quillen, everyone across


    the city knows whom you’re looking for. They’re just not sure if you’re the one


    who sent that message. We’ve done everything we could, but Emmanuel is


    still nowhere to be found, which can only mean one thing-he is out of


    Yeringham.


    “Damn it!” Mackenzie clenched her fists. “I’m going to make him pay for this


    when I find him!”


    Lexi couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of Mackenzie’s intimidating eyes,


    thinking Emmanuel would never dare show up again if he saw her menacing


    expression. Suddenly, Mackenzie heard a notification alert from her phone


    and saw an iing message. Upon skimming through the text, she was


    seen with her mouth slightly wide agape, her face changing. The next


    moment, she rose from her seat and walked straight out the door.


    “Where are you going, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked in a panicky manner, following


    closely behind Mackenzie.


    “Onza!” Mackenzie gave a terse reply, leaving in a hurry without waiting for


    anyone toe along with her. Upon rushing downstairs to the parking lot,


    she entered her Maserati and drove to Onza straight away. It turned out that


    the message she received not long ago was from Beatrix, who had informed


    her of something rted to Emmanuel’s whereabouts.


    I can’t believe she actually found something about Emmanuel’s whereabouts


    after skipping work for ten days. At that moment, Mackenzie’s mind was filled


    with only Emmanuel, thinking, she would punish him terribly when she found


    him. Finally, Emmanuel! I’m going to make you regret ghosting me! Hmph!


    Putting her foot on the gas pedal, Mackenzie sped up on the road as she


    couldn’t wait to arrive in Onza. At the same time, she couldn’t help but


    question what was wrong with herself. After all, she didn’t feel quite like


    herself as she had always disliked being anywhere close to any man until


    Emmanuel entered her life. Since then, her life seemed to have changed so


    much that she could never go back to the life she once had before he


    showed up.


    Having lived together with Emmanuel for nearly two months, Mackenzie was


    already used to the life in which he prepared her daily meals and drove her


    anywhere she wanted to go. Also, she had already grown used to frequently


    interacting with Emmanuel’s family members. Thus, without Emmanuel, she


    felt as if something was missing from her life. Also, she couldn’t stop thinking


    about thest two times Emmanuel came to her rescue in a foolhardy


    manner despite the dire situation she was in.


    Just when Mackenzie was still absorbed in her thoughts, she began to enter


    Onza’s main road when she found herself stuck in the traffic. Then, after she


    took a closer look at what was going on ahead of her, her eyes were filled


    with indifference.


    Several people were standing in a circle with candles around them at the


    junction. Then, a man was seen holding a bouquet, getting ready to confess


    to ady. She was the same person whom Emmanuel met during his


    eighteenth speed date, Mni. As their romantic interaction drew the


    attention of many bystanders, the traffic soon became congested, but the


    duo wasn’t concerned by that as they seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in


    the spotlight.
