A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 

Emmanuel thanked her immediately, “Thank you! 

Whether it works or not, I’m grateful to you.” 

Mackenzie put on a disdainful smile. Hmph. Derek will 

definitely listen to me. 

Regardless, she simply murmured a reply before 

ignoring Emmanuel. 

Go on and treat other women to meals. Wait. Didn’t I 

swear not to help him anymore? Why did I agree to his 

request? Ugh! I swear I won’t help this idiot next time! 

The next day, Derek was summoned to the 

headquarters. 

He felt extremely nervous, thinking Alessandra had put 

him in great trouble. 

After all, Mackenzie’s temper was known by everyone in 

Terence Group. 

He figured he was going to be reprimanded harshly for being unreachable yesterday and also for being a day late in submitting the data she wanted–the data he 

had stayed up all night to redo. 

Getting reprimanded was still fine. He feared 

Mackenzie would fire him out of anger since several 

managers had been fired in the past because of the 

same thing. 

“M–Ms. Quillen.” Derek knocked on the door and 

entered the CEO’s office. He stood straight with his 

head lowered like a little boy who made a mistake. 

“Hello. Where’s the data?” asked Mackenzie 

indifferently without lifting her head. 

“It’s here.” Derek hurriedly placed the printed document 

on her table. 

Mackenzie looked through the document without 

sparing him a glance. 

Derek was so nervous that the muscles all over his 

body tensed up. He was afraid Mackenzie might throw 

就 

the document at him and tell him to get lost. 

Derek was his family’s breadwinner. If he lost his 

high–salaried job, he would not be able to pay for the 

mortgage, car loan, and even his children’s education. 

He did not dare to think further. 

After reading the document, Mackenzie finally lifted her 

head slightly. 

Derek had no guts to meet the beautiful woman’s 

gaze. In fact, only a handful of men in Yeringham 

dared to meet her gaze. 

I wonder what kind of man can conquer her and make 

her his wife? Her mother–in–law must fear her, too. 

“Well done on the document. Remember to report to 

the receptionist when there’s a problem with your 

phone in the future.” 

Mackenzie’s words stunned Derek. He even wondered if 

he was hearing things. 

She’s not scolding me? Does that mean I won’t be 

demoted or fired? 

“Y–Yes! I’ll keep that in mind, Ms. Quillen!” Derek 

promised instantly, feeling much relieved. 

“Is your laptop and phone fixed?” 

“Y–Yes!” 

“How much did it cost?” 

“Around three thousand.” 

Derek could not believe Mackenzie was actually 

concerned about him.
