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, âMs. Mackenzie, I didnât know it was you!
Please come in quickly!â
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 didnât recognize the car at first.
âRegister the license plate in the system. If this car enters the company
premises in the future, let it pass directly!â
âYes, Ms. Mackenzie.â
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, âGood morning, Ms.
Mackenzie. Why are you driving by yourself today?â
âI have a driverâs license. Why canât I drive by myself?â Mackenzie responded
coldly. â
Lexi nervously replied, âMs. Mackenzie, you should know that I didnât mean
anything by it. Where is your driver?â
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 wouldnât have believed that the formidable Ms. Mackenzie could be
associated with the word âheartbroken. Now, I have no choice but to believe
romantic heartbreak.
Throughout the day, Mackenzie reprimanded more people than usual.
Fortunately, Beatrix had received a warning from Lexi in advance and didnât
dareâget too close to her sister. Otherwise, she might have faced the same
fate.
Of course, Beatrix had to report Mackenzieâs state to her grandfather, and she
even vented her frustrations. âGrandpa, is this one of your bad ideas?
Mackenzieâs current state is not conducive for her work, and if it continues for
too long, it could affect the company!â
âHaha, excellent!â
Terence laughed heartily without a care in the world, completely
disregarding the state of the company.
After all, the Quillen familyâs business was massive, and losing a few million
wouldnât make a significant difference. Mackenzieâs 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 goodâ¦
Upon hearing her grandfatherâs laughter, Beatrix felt a headache coming on.
Heâs 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 absentâminded 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 hadnât smoked since his retirement, but he couldnât resist the urge to go to
the rooftop for some fresh air and a cigarette today.
âWhatâs wrong? My boy, are you having relationship issues?â Frederick
appeared behind him out of nowhere and expressed concern.
âCan you tell just by looking at me?â Emmanuel didnât hide his thoughts from
his best friend.
âHaha, your expression says it allâyouâre troubled by love!â Frederick grinned
smugly.
Emmanuel forced a bitter smile. âYou speak as if you have a lot of experience
in this. However, youâve been single for years!â
âItâs different for me. Although I havenât 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.â 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 didnât know what he should do next.
âMs. Lenoir is here. Do you want to go and see her?â Frederick suddenly said,
which was the reason he came up to the rooftop to find Emmanuel.
Although Emmanuel didnât particularly feel like seeing Claudette at the
moment, he had professional ethics. If a patient came, he couldnât refuse to
see them.
