Chapter 56
No matter what, I’ll have to confront her tonight and
get a confirmation.
Having made up his mind, Emmanuel went home after
getting off work and waited for Mackenzie’s return
anxiously.
To his frustration, Mackenzie came home later than
usual, not arriving until half past ten.
“Ms. Quillen, you came home later than usual today,
huh?” Emmanuel broke the silence.
Mackenzie was busy. She gave her husband a grunt
instead of a verbal response. Obviously, she was going
to grab her pajamas, take a shower, and go to bed.
Emmanuel knew she would sleep at eleven sharp, so
he stood in front of her, blocking her path.
“What is it?” Mackenzie frowned.
“Ms. Quillen, you promised to pay my family a visit, so
my mom has gone out of her way to make all the
necessary arrangements, even inviting our relatives. If
you were to suddenly change your mind and not
come, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her.”
After a pause, he added, “If you don’t keep your word,
I’ll have no choice but to let your grandpa know.”
Mackenzie scoffed in disdain.
Everyone knows I hate being threatened. I can’t believe
he’s so bold to threaten me!
Despite the fact that she had made a commitment to go and visit his family earlier, she changed her mind
later as she believed he had spent a romantic evening
with someone else.
Now that the truth had been unveiled, she couldn’t
help but think that he was a fool.
“Since you brought this up, I have a task that I need
you to complete.”
“What is it, Ms. Quillen?” Emmanuel asked politely.
I can do anything as long as she agrees to meet my
family.
“I promised to visit your family if Cloud Construction’s
project ends on time, but a minor problem has
occurred.”
Mackenzie retrieved a flash drive and placed it in front of him. “Following today’s strategic meeting, we have
come to the conclusion that the logo for the building
must be changed. Tomorrow, you need to persuade
Cloud Construction to alter the logo in accordance
with the new design without compromising the
timeline of the project.”
Emmanuel’s brows scrunched up, but he accepted the
flash drive nonetheless.
He knew that Mackenzie wasn’t trying to make things
difficult for him on purpose. She had just helped his
mother out, so he was obliged to return her favor.
“Good luck!” Mackenzie parted her lips to utter some
words of encouragement for formality’s sake before
