Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 250

At the entrance of the Terence Group headquarters, the security guard was performing his daily duties when he stopped a Maserati for registration. To his surprise, he found the cold and aloof female CEO behind the wheel. He immediately apologized and said, “Ms. Mackenzie, I didn’t know it was you! Please come in quickly!”

Previously, when Emmanuel drove this car, he would always stop at the intersection near the industrial park without coming all the way to the company entrance, let alone park in the designated parking spot. As such, the security guard didn’t recognize the car at first.

“Register the license plate in the system. If this car enters the company premises in the future, let it pass directly!”

“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie.”

The security guard promptly acknowledged her orders and proceeded with the registration.

When Mackenzie parked the car in the company parking lot and got out, she coincidentally ran into Lexi.

Lexi was shocked and hurriedly greeted her, asking, “Good morning, Ms. Mackenzie. Why are you driving by yourself today?”

“I have a driver’s license. Why can’t I drive by myself?” Mackenzie responded coldly.

Lexi nervously replied, “Ms. Mackenzie, you should know that I didn’t mean anything by it. Where is your driver?”

Mackenzie shot her a glance that could almost slice her in half with its intensity.

Lexi felt a chill run down her spine. Mackenzie is terrifying in this state! In the past, I wouldn’t have believed that the formidable Ms. Mackenzie could be associated with the word ‘heartbroken.' Now, I have no choice but to believe it. Her haggard and icy demeanor are clear signs of going through a romantic heartbreak.

Throughout the day, Mackenzie reprimanded more people than usual. Fortunately, Beatrix had received a warning from Lexi in advance and didn’t dare get too close to her sister. Otherwise, she might have faced the same fate.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Of course, Beatrix had to report Mackenzie’s state to her grandfather, and she even vented her frustrations. “Grandpa, is this one of your bad ideas? Mackenzie’s current state is not conducive for her work, and if it continues for too long, it could affect the company!”

“Haha, excellent!”

Terence laughed heartily without a care in the world, completely disregarding the state of the company.

After all, the Quillen family’s business was massive, and losing a few million wouldn’t make a significant difference. Mackenzie’s current state proved that Emmanuel had entered her world and could deeply influence her emotions!

Terence was confident that no one else in the world could put his granddaughter in such a state. Emmanuel had accomplished this, showing that he was indeed a suitable match for her. Hahaha, great! Very good…

Upon hearing her grandfather’s laughter, Beatrix felt a headache coming on. He’s the most ruthless grandfather in the world!

Although her older sister was formidable, compared to her grandfather, her sister still had a long way to go.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel was also absent-minded at work today. Having married without ever having been in a relationship before, it was really hard to experience conflict with his wife for the first time.

He hadn’t smoked since his retirement, but he couldn’t resist the urge to go to the rooftop for some fresh air and a cigarette today.

“What’s wrong? My boy, are you having relationship issues?” Frederick appeared behind him out of nowhere and expressed concern.

“Can you tell just by looking at me?” Emmanuel didn’t hide his thoughts from his best friend.

“Haha, your expression says it all—you’re troubled by love!” Frederick grinned smugly.

Emmanuel forced a bitter smile. “You speak as if you have a lot of experience in this. However, you’ve been single for years!”

“It’s different for me. Although I haven’t married, I have pursued girls in the past. On the other hand, you got married without ever being in a relationship. Skipping that step poses significant risks, my friend.” Frederick continued to smile.

Emmanuel smiled without responding. He admitted that he had underestimated the complexity of marriage. Now, with Mackenzie in her current state, he didn’t know what he should do next.

“Ms. Lenoir is here. Do you want to go and see her?” Frederick suddenly said, which was the reason he came up to the rooftop to find Emmanuel.

Although Emmanuel didn’t particularly feel like seeing Claudette at the moment, he had professional ethics. If a patient came, he couldn’t refuse to see them.
