Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) 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

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
