Chapter 111
Around half an hour later, 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
playfully 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 ever laid 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 genuine compliments about her
appearance were a rarity, as most people lacked 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 Milani? She’s been acting completely 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. Milani’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 Milani 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 flashed 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 explained, “Ms. Quillen, I’m completely clueless about
what’s happening. The woman I met on my last 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 alarming. I assure you that I will not
become romantically involved with her.”
