A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Trust Me Just This Once

“My, my, are you two lovebirds trying to torment me, a single woman, by being all lovey-dovey?”

At first, Beatrix was worried that Mackenzie and Emmanuel had put themselves under too much pressure, but to her surprise, they found joy in little coincidence. Is this the power of love?

“You fool, how are you going to handle this? If we can’t find any company willing to handle logistics for us in five days, it’ll delay the shipment. In that case, we’ll need to pay a large compensation.”

After she had a hearty laugh, Mackenzie put on a stern face, trying to intimidate Emmanuel into speaking the truth. Is he just talking nonsense, or does he have a plan?

“Five days?” Emmanuel murmured as he frowned. Then, he eventually answered with a firm nod, “It shouldn’t be a problem.”

What a fool! His overconfidence will kill us! Mackenzie stared at him, trying to find a sign of him joking, to no avail.

Emmanuel didn’t need words to understand what went on in her mind. He gently squeezed her shoulder and/ promised, “Mackenzie, relax and trust me just this once, will you? I genuinely care about you, so I wouldn’t joke about something like this!”

His words blew her mind. She was unprepared for his sudden declaration of love. It struck her, causing her mind to go blank, unable to respond.

Emmanuel studied her delicate face in proximity as he felt his heart pound faster.

As if possessed, he drew himself closer to her. Terence’s words rang in his mind. Be bold, and go for it!

Just when he was about to claim her lips, a whimper snapped them out of their private moment.

It was Beatrix. Realizing that the pair was about to kiss, she shrieked excitedly. No! I can’t ruin their special moment! The idea crossed her mind. Therefore, she hurriedly covered her mouth, which explained the muffled whimper.

As if on cue, Mackenzie snapped out of her trance. Blaming Emmanuel for coming up with the stupid idea to kiss her, she pushed him off her and turned to Beatrix. “W-What’s wrong, Beatrix?”

“I’m sorry, Mackenzie! I-I didn’t mean to interrupt you! Don’t mind me. Just carry on with whatever you are doing. B-Bye!”
