A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 

They were in the company building, and many 

employees were passing by the conference room. 

Hence, Derek helped Alessandra up first. 

“I–I’m fine.” 

1/8 

Alessandra could not care less about her pain. She 

hastily wiped the table and took out a cloth to wipe the 

laptop and phone. 

“Stop! I’ll do it!” Derek quickly shoved her away, making 

her stagger a few steps backward. 

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Schwartz. I–I didn’t do it on purpose,” 

Alessandra apologized profusely. 

For someone from a less well–to–do family, ruining 

someone’s valuables would only make their situation 

worse. 

She was hoping she did not have to pay for the losses, 

but Derek examined his devices and said grimly, 

“Ma’am, my laptop’s motherboard is fried, and my 

phone isn’t lighting up. You’ve got to compensate me.” 

“I–I…” Alessandra paled, unable to form a complete 

sentence. All she could do was bow and apologize. 

She only wanted to earn some money to help lessen 

Emmanuel’s burden and give Mackenzie some jewelry. 

To her horror, she had to compensate a huge sum 

when she had not even gotten her salary. 

This is just terrible! I’m sure Emmanuel won’t let me 

work anymore if he finds out about this. 

“It’s already happened. There’s no use apologizing 

2/8 

now.” Derek helped her up and added coldly, “I’m going 

to send these for repairs now. I’ll let you know how 

much you’ll need to pay when I find that out. Please 

give me your phone number.” 

Alessandra was on the verge of crying, but she still 

nodded and gave him her phone number. 

At the same time, Beatrix was standing outside the 

glass door. When she saw how pitiful Alessandra 

looked, she wanted to help the latter out. 

To Beatrix’s surprise, Alessandra agreed to 

compensate him. Hence, the former could say nothing. 

After all, it was only right to compensate someone 

after breaking their things. 

After receiving her number, Derek could not help but 

scold her a little before leaving to get his devices 

repaired. 

There were many important data in them which he 

had put a lot of effort and time into. He was planning 

to get Alessandra to compensate him for the 

intangible losses as well. 

Alessandra felt horrible when Derek left. Even so, she 

still cleaned up the conference room. 

After that, she clutched her abdomen and walked out 

of the room. 

The moment she saw Beatrix, she quickly put on a 

smile and greeted, “Hello, Ms. Beatrix.” 

Alessandra did not want Beatrix to find out she was ill. 

I’ll be in trouble if she fires me because of that. 

Hence, she pretended to look fine no matter how much 

4/8 

pain she was in. 

“Hello, Ms. Cadigan. Are you all right?” 

Beatrix felt bad for Emmanuel’s mother when she 

gazed at the latter. Feeling worried, Beatrix said, “You 

can take two days off if your body’s in pain.” 

“No, no, no. I’m fine. I’m feeling great!” Alessandra 

quickly waved her hand dismissively and forced a 

smile. 

The moment she straightened her back, she felt an 

excruciating pain, which made her grimace. 

“Ms. Cadigan, please go home and take a day off. I’ll 

make sure the manager doesn’t deduct your salary. 

End of discussion.” 

With that, Beatrix walked off. 

5/8 

That was all she could do to help the elderly woman. 

After all, it was not her place to make Derek give up on 

the compensation. 

Just then, Mackenzie, who was at the headquarters,
