Chapter 13
“I’m sorry for being late!” Emmanuel apologized.
Milani furrowed her brows and stared at Emmanuel for
a while before roaring, “What’s wrong with you,
Emmanuel? I’m not here on a blind date. Why do you
keep showing up everywhere? Leave! I’m here for an
important matter today!”
With that, she wanted to beat Emmanuel out of there.
What I’m here to talk about today will enormously
affect my future! I can’t mess it up!
Suddenly, Emmanuel smiled and said, “It’s such a
coincidence! I’m also not here for a blind date. I’m

Milani couldn’t be bothered by that, though. If this man
gets away, so will my chance to rise through the ranks!
3/16
My mission today is to lessen the penalty the company
needs to pay!
“Behave yourself, Ms. Zimmerman!” Emmanuel stared
into her eyes and reminded her expressionlessly, “We
aren’t dating! What we have is simply a working
relationship.”
Tch! He’s so pretentious! Milani was fuming, but she
didn’t dare to show it. I know Emmanuel is a lustful
man! Otherwise, why would he go to the hospital to
examine women’s bodies? I don’t know how a
gynecologist became a representative of Terence
Group, but I’m pretty sure he’s just a runner working for
Terence Group. He’s using Terence Group to boss me
around! Ugh! How despicable!
Milani gritted her teeth discreetly before flashing a
smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lowe. I was too worked up just now.
Let’s have a discussion.”
Emmanuel couldn’t say no to that, so he sat back
down. After all, I’m here to make sure Cloud
Construction delivers the project on time.
Nonetheless, his ultimate goal was to bring Mackenzie
home to meet his parents.
“Mr. Lowe, what’s your position in Terence Group?”
Milani asked the moment Emmanuel sat down. At the
same time, there was a dubious look in her eyes.
“I don’t have a position for the time being. The
executives of Terence Group have appointed me to
urge your company to deliver the project on time,”
Emmanuel answered truthfully.
At that time, Mackenzie was his superior, and he had
never even been to Terence Group.
Milani rolled her eyes at him discreetly upon hearing
that. So is he merely a third party Terence Group had
employed? Is this his part-time job?
Regardless of how she looked down upon Emmanuel,
he still represented her client. Therefore, she couldn’t
afford to offend him.
“Ms. Zimmerman, on behalf of Terence Group, I need to
formally inform you that the project must be delivered
before the end of the month. Otherwise, it will be
considered a breach of contract!” Emmanuel was
concise and frank.
“Uh…” Milani looked troubled. If Cloud Construction
could deliver the project by the end of the month, they
wouldn’t have appointed me as the project manager.
“What’s the matter?” Emmanuel frowned slightly.
Although he was intimidating Milani, he knew for a fact
that Mackenzie’s goal was to have the project
delivered on time instead of getting paid the penalty.
Hence, Emmanuel wanted to know why Cloud
Construction couldn’t finish the project on time.
Milani’s ego wouldn’t allow her to humble herself, so
she uttered in an authoritative tone, “Mr. Lowe, perhaps
you could tell the person in charge of Terence Group
to extend the deadline by three months. Hm?”
Emmanuel was amused. Does this woman still think i’m
here for a blind date?
“Is that the attitude to have when you’re asking for a
favor?” he asked.
“Um…” Milani bit her lower lip. I hope you’ll be infertile
and never have kids, Emmanuel!
Despite her anger, she had no choice but to squeeze
out a smile. She even tried to seduce him by holding
his hand and saying, “I beg of you, Mr. Lowe!’ TO OR
with you on a date if you can get Terence Group to
extend the deadline by three months.”

“Let go of me!” Emmanuel demanded coldly.
Milani was seeing red. How shameless can this b*stard
be? Before this, he came to look for me with his family
because he wanted to marry me. Why is he playing
hard to get now? D*mn it!
