Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the

company to work.

She was feeling down in the dumps because she was

worried about the compensation amount. In fact, she

did not sleep well the last two nights.

Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and

promised he would find a solution, she could not help

but worry.

She feared Derek might confront her that day and

make a police report because she could not afford to

pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job,

which would make things worse.

Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would

evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved

eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel

before Derek in hopes the latter would forgive her.

“Ma’am!”

Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after

she clocked in.

Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him

politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!”

“I want to talk to you about the laptop and the phone

Before Derek could finish, Alessandra teared up, and

she got to her knees.

“Ma’am, what are you doing? You can’t do this!” Derek

quickly helped her up.

That scene was witnessed by everyone in the

company.

Even Beatrix, who passed by, watched it from afar.

Naturally, she did not know Mackenzie had helped

settle the issue. If necessary, I’ll help Emmanuel’s mom

to pay.

Although Mackenzie did not agree with the marriage,

the cleaner was still her mother–in–law. Beatrix could

not let the latter be in such a tough situation.

“Mr. Schwartz, my family really can’t afford to come up

with twenty thousand. Please have mercy on me. I

really didn’t do it on purpose!” Alessandra pleaded

with tears streaming down her face.

With so many people watching the commotion, Derek

was grateful that the news about him extorting twenty

thousand from Alessandra had not spread. Otherwise,

“R–Really? I don’t need to compensate you anymore?”
