Chapter 111
Around half an hourter, Emmanuel’s car came to a stop before Terence
Group.
Terence Group’s headquarters was a skyscraper located in the business
park. The entrance to the business park was marked by a sprawling field.
As Mackenzie gracefully emerged from between the two rows of trees,
she seemed like a fairy traversing through an enchanted forest.
Emmanuel found himself captivated by her presence, his gaze fixated on
her in a momentary state of awe.
Noticing Emmanuel was staring at her, Mackenzie hopped into the car and
yfully asked, “Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something
on my face?”
“Huh? No! You’re too pretty, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel praised honestly.
He couldn’t help but acknowledge that Mackenzie was, without a doubt,
the most strikingly beautiful person he had everid eyes on.
“You’re only realizing that now?” Mackenzie retorted with a self–assured
grin, rather than exhibiting any shyness.
“No, but I only got the chance to say it now. The first time we met, I was
already captivated by your beauty. It felt like we were from different
worlds. You’re an enchanting and ethereal fairy while I’m just an ordinary
human being.”
A half smile nudged Mackenzie’s lips as she listened to him talk.
She was well aware of her beauty, but genuinepliments about her
appearance were a rarity, as most peoplecked the courage to express
admiration for her beauty sincerely.
She was inwardly pleased to hear his praises.
Right then, Emmanuel received a call from Alessandra.
“Manny, what’s going on with Mni? She’s been actingpletely out of
character today. Did you know she unexpectedly showed up to help me at
work?”

“What? Seriously?” Emmanuel’s jaw dropped wide open in shock.
Alessandra was a cleaner. Mni’s unexpected offer of help after work was
quite surprising.
She’s serious, huh?
“Mom, ignore her. Based on what I know about her, she’ll eventually give
up after putting on an act for a while,” Emmanuel responded helplessly as
he didn’t know what Mni was getting at.
“No, that can’t be. I believe you must be the reason for her sudden shift in
attitude toward me. Did something happen between the two of you? I
won’t allow you to cheat on Mackenzie!” Alessandra cautioned Emmanuel,
her intelligence and strong principles shining through her words.
“Mom, nothing happened between us, I have no idea why she’s behaving
like this. I won’t be unfaithful to Mackenzie, so don’t worry!” Emmanuel
blurted out, feeling agitated.
After her initial surprise, Mackenzie shed an amused smile.
It looks like he’s romantically linked with another woman, huh?
“Okay, I trust you.”
“Mm. I’m driving Mackenzie home now. Bye!” Emmanuel ended the call
and immediately exined, “Ms. Quillen, I’mpletely clueless about
what’s happening. The woman I met on myst blind date suddenly
expressed her love for me in an incredibly intense and unconventional
manner. Please understand that I have no intention of showing off or
seeking attention. It’s honestly quite rming. I assure you that I will not
be romantically involved with her.”
Mackenzie was strangely pleased to see him all nervous.
She was still holding a grudge over his im that he had never waited up
for her.
Finally, she could turn the tables today.
“If you don’t feel guilty, why do you feel the need to exin things to me?”
she deliberately asked.
Emmanuel calmed down instantly. “As long as we’re married, you’re still
my wife. I don’t want you to doubt me or feel uneasy in any way.”
Mackenzie broke into a beautiful grin.
She quicklyposed herself and snapped, “You’re thinking too much. I’ve
never felt uneasy over you, Mr. Lowe!”
Emmanuel was taken aback by her reply, but after returning to his senses,
he found it amusing.

That was deliberate of her, huh?
Regardless, hearing that from her was a relief to him.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know why she reacted that way. I think it’s because
of the Maserati you drove today!” Mackenzie reminded him.
