A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

“Oh? Mr. Lowe, you’re the person in charge of the 

project?” Walter took his hand warmly. 

“Uh, yes. Nice to meet you,” Emmanuel replied after 

giving Lexi a quick look. 

“Mr. Lows, welcome to the inspection! I should be 

accompanying you, but I have an important meeting 

to attend. I’ll arrange for the project supervisor to bring 

you around!” 

“Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zackas 

“I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for 

understanding Please wait in the VIP reception roorn!” 

Water was incredibly thankful that Emmanuel had 

such on agesable personality. 

Soon, Milani made her way to the general manager’s 

office hastily. 

The sight of Emmanuel enjoying the air conditioner 

and delicious food in the VIP reception room made her 

grit her teeth in anger. 

Ha! That b*stard must be here by assuming someone 

else’s authority as his own. Look how he is lying 

through his teeth to swindle for food and drinks! 

Milani cursed inwardly before entering the general 

manager’s office. 

“Mr. Zackas, you asked to see me?” she asked, flashing 

a sweet smile. 

Her attitude did a one–eighty. 

Walter was busy preparing the documents for his 

meeting. Without looking up, he ordered, “Ah, yes. 

Terence Group’s person in charge is here, so please 

take care of that person on my behalf.” 

“Okay!” Milani replied eagerly. 

The project is about to be completed soon, so I’ll be 

getting a well–deserved promotion and an impressive 

three hundred thousand bonus. By then, I plan to throw 

an unforgettable party to show off my success! I must 

invite that useless Emmanuel so he’ll see the difference 

between us. It’ll be a great chance for me to humiliate 

him. Serves him right for being so smug previously! 

Walter rose from his seat and approached her. 

“I trust you to do a good job. The project is about to reach completion soon, so nothing can happen at this crucial moment, okay?” he cautioned as he patted her 

shoulder lightly. 

know, Mr. Zackas!” Milani responded coyly. 

Walter was her superior, so she needed him to 

approve her promotion and bonus. 

Soon, Milani arrived at the VIP room with fruits and 

drinks. 

Flashing a smile, she greeted Lexi warmly and 

proceeded to give the latter a warm welcome. 

As for Emmanuel, she merely provided him with water 

as he was just the third party. 

Seeing that, Lexi chided, “Ms. Zimmerman, what is the 

meaning of this? You can be frank if you don’t 

welcome us to inspect the progress. We can leave 

right away!” 

“Huh? Ms. Summerton, I don’t understand. I’m 

welcoming you!” Milani replied innocently. 

“You deliberately ignored our person in charge. How is 

that welcoming him?” 

“What? The person in charge?” Realization finally struck 

Milani. 

The person in charge of the project isn’t Lexi but 

Emmanuel? What the heck is going on? Why would a 

gynecologist be the person in charge of Terence 

Group’s project? 

Seeing her distress, Emmanuel smiled in response. 

He didn’t know what was going on, but the sight of 

Milani’s shocked expression pleased him to no end. 

“Mr. Lowe, I’m really sorry. Please have some fruit!”

Milani offered the fruits she had personally cut to him. 

“Mm, you did a good job by cutting the fruits. Can you 

open that durian for me? It’s my favorite fruit!” 

Emmanuel grinned as he pointed at the durian on the 

table. 

Milani went cold with fury. 

Mr. Lowe, you’re quite a picky eater, huh? 

Despite her fury, she had to do as told. 

D*mn it. Do I have no choice but to give in even though 

Emmanuel is merely assuming someone else’s 

authority? I can’t believe Terence Group hired him to 

be their person in charge. Is it because he helped them 

get rid of the ruffians? 

It took her a lot of time and effort to open the durian. 

Milani couldn’t stand it anymore. When Emmanuel left 

to use the restroom, she purposely asked softly, “Ms. 

Summerton, why would your company hire a 

part–timer to be in charge of the project?” 

Jacob had been on his way to Terence Group for an 

interview when he unexpectedly ran into Emmanuel 

previously. As a result, Milani was aware that 

Emmanuel had interviewed for a part–time job there. 

She was dying to know how Emmanuel became the 

person in charge of the project in such a short time. 

“Ms. Zimmerman, are you doubting Terence Group’s 

decision?” Lexi retorted coldly. 

“Of course not, Ms. Summerton. You’ve got it wrong. I 

wouldn’t dare question your decision. I was just 

curious.” 

Milani knew that Lexi was the CEO’s secretary in 

Terence Group, so she dared not offend her. 

“Ms. Zimmerman, I’d advise you to focus on your own 

duties. You are not in the place to judge our company’s 

personnel!” 

Milani was caught off guard by Lexi’s icy retort. 

Why does it seem to me that Lexi is Emmanuel’s 

subordinate? What the heck is going on? 

Emmanuel happened to return and heard Milani’s 

words. It was pretty obvious to him what she had in 

mind. 

Since she’s hostile to me, I shouldn’t show her any 

mercy! 

“Ms. Zimmerman, please make a copy of this 

document.” 

“Ms. Zimmerman, please show us the progress of the 

project.” 

“Ms. Zimmerman, I need to talk to the engineering 

department about something important. Please 

arrange for a meeting.”
