Chapter 138
After finishing his shift at the hospital, Emmanuel drove his Maserati straight
to Terence Group the next day.
To his surprise, he ran into Beatrix just as she got out of her car at the
entrance of the company building.
“Hey, Dummy!” Beatrix waved at Emmanuel.
Frowning, the man stepped out of his car and approached her, adopting a
serious tone. “Ms. Beatrix, I am not a dummy.”
“If you aren’t a dummy, why did you respond when I called?” Beatrix chuckled.
If she wasn’t his boss, he would have considered snapping back.
“All right, I won’t call you that anymore, okay? Don’t be so angry!”
Beatrix quickly tried to placate him, considering he had saved her life and
was also her brother–in–law. She felt obligated to show him some respect.
After all, the nickname was reserved exclusively for Mackenzie.
“Do you have a nickname?” Beatrix asked.
Emmanuel shook his head even though he had one which was mostly used
by his family.
“Well, that’s perfect. I’ll give you one now. From now on, you’ll go by Manuel!”
Beatrix announced, disregarding Emmanuel’s preferences. Before he could
respond, she continued, “I’ll call you Manuel from now on!”
“What on earth?” Emmanuel furrowed his brows.
Beatrix was indeed stubborn and willful. She had forced a name upon him.
“Oh yes, Manuel, how did you manage to leave the hotel unscathed last
night?” she asked.
Beatrix’s curiosity about the incident grew stronger. Mackenzie had remained
tight–lipped despite her relentless questioning. She turned her attention to
Manuel, hoping to unravel the mystery.
However, Emmanuel couldn’t provide a straightforward response because he
didn’t want anyone to know about his past identity.
“Did you strike some sort of deal with the female boss to save your life?”
Beatrix made a guess when she saw his silence.
“Wait, a deal? What kind of deal? We just spent some time alone together,”
“What? Alone together? Did anything physical happen?”
“She gave me a hug, and that was it.”
“What? She hugged you? Was it a tight hug? And then what happened?”
“It was a tight hug. Why are you asking about this?”
