Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

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

returning to her room.

Rather than delegating the task to someone else, she

wanted him to demonstrate his worthiness and

potential so she could promote him to a higher rank in

Organization.

the

Though my husband may be foolish at times, I cannot

stand the sight of him and Alessandra struggling with

financial woes.

To complete Mackenzie’s task, Emmanuel had to

request a half–day leave of absence from the hospital

where he worked.

Early the next day, he was contacted by a woman who

claimed that the company tasked her to assist him

with the Cloud Construction project’s alteration so it

could be completed by the designated date.

Emmanuel agreed to meet her. When he arrived at the

place where they agreed to meet, he was surprised to

see a familiar BMW.

The woman who stepped out of the vehicle was none

other than Lexi.

“Mr. Lowe, we meet again!”

Lexi wasn’t as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie, but she

was still a stylish and lovely lady.

“Oh, it’s you. Do you work at Terence Group, too?”

Back when Emmanuel helped Lexi to get rid of the

scammer at the café, he left without getting her

contact details. Thus, he knew nothing about her.

“Yes, I am a senior secretary at Terence Group,” Lexi

revealed honestly as she stretched her hand out

calmly.

Emmanuel shook her hand. They then got into her

BMW and headed to Cloud Construction,

RA

“Ms. Summerton, welcome. Please excuse me for my

lack of hospitality.”

The project manager of the Cloud Construction project

was a middle–aged man going by the name of Walter

Zackas.

Naturally, he was aware of Lexi’s important role as

Mackenzie’s closest ally and came to give her a warm

welcome.

“Mr. Zackas, let me introduce you to the person in

charge of this project, Mr. Emmanuel Lowe.” Lexi

personally made the introductions.

Emmanuel was surprised. When did I become the

person in charge?

Walter could barely hide his shock.

He was completely unaware that the individual

accompanying Lexi had a greater standing than her as

he assumed that Terence Group had been considerate

enough to send Lexi as a representative.

I can’t take their visit lightly!
