Chapter 65
Panic swamped Milani, for the matter was inextricably
linked to her bonus and career.
“Shut up!” Emmanuel roared, finding her irritating to
the core.
Milani’s face went as black as thunder. Argh! How I wish
to call him out for a duel!
“Contact the craftsman. I want to talk to him!”
Emmanuel ordered.
Milani deliberately kept silent.
“What’s the meaning of this, Milani? Do you want
Terence Group to reject the product and have Cloud
Construction suffer hundreds of millions in losses?”
Emmanuel barked.
ミ
It was only then that Milani retorted furiously, “You
were the one who told me to shut up, Mr. Lowe! Isn’t it
rather unreasonable that you want me to speak now?”
“You want to play games with me, huh?”
A frown marred Emmanuel’s countenance.
Intimidated, Milani relented and hastily huffed with at
pout, “Wait a moment. I’ll make the call right away.”
What a detestable loser! All he knows is to throw his
weight around! Hmph!
Shortly after, Milani put down the phone and reported,
“The craftsman is now at a bar. He has no time to
make a trip over, saying that we can seek him out if we
want to talk to him.”
“Hurry up, then! Bring me over posthaste!” Emmanuel
instructed coldly.
Unlike them, a craftsman merely followed the design
drawing. If they submitted the wrong design and the
product turned out wrong, he would not be held
responsible.
It was after working hours then. He had no obligation
to entertain any requests to return to work. Since they
were the ones who wanted to talk to him, they had no
choice but to seek him out.
Milani was fit to be tied. Nonetheless, she could only
swallow her anger for the sake of the three hundred
thousand in commission and her position as
supervisor.
Right then, it was already ten o’clock at night.
Mackenzie arrived home, only to find the house in
pitch–darkness. Surprisingly, Emmanuel had not
returned.
At that precise moment, Beatrix phoned her.
As a problem had transpired with the project, but she
and Lexi could not come up with a solution after
racking their brains for a long time, she had no other
recourse but to come clean with Mackenzie earlier
despite the possibility of a scolding.
“What’s going on? How could there be such a
mistake?”
Sure enough, her temper spiked after she learned
about the matter.
I personally handed the design drawing of the logo to
Emmanuel, planning to have Beatrix arrange a higher
position for him and give him an increment after the
project concluded flawlessly. Never had I expected him
to be so useless!
“This is Cloud Construction’s problem, Mackenzie. After
we handed them the design drawing, the logo was
delivered to the project site upon completion, and we
discovered the mistake immediately! Emmanuel has
already told me about it a while ago. He’s now seeking
out Cloud Construction to resolve the issue,” Beatrix
hurriedly explained.
It was not that she wanted to shirk responsibility, but
she was afraid that Mackenzie would put the blame on
Emmanuel, adversely affecting their marital
relationship.
Although she had bet that Emmanuel would not be
able to last until the new year, she was not the kind of
person to resort to trickery.
“Got it,” Mackenzie replied frostily before hanging up
the phone.
Beatrix was very much surprised that Mackenzie did
not lecture her at length. Hmm, it looks like she has
really changed after getting married despite her
perfectionist nature!
In truth, Mackenzie did not admonish Beatrix because
she had something far more important to do.
For some inexplicable reason, she wanted to chastise
the dumb Emmanuel more than lecturing her cousin.
If he’d gone to the factory to check on things during the production of the logo, he wouldn’t be in such a
passive position right now!
It went without saying that the man could not possibly
have gone to such lengths as this was only his side job.
However, she felt differently.
After all, her principle in doing things was to ensure
everything was comprehensive and perfect.
