Love at the Wrong Table - Season 1 Episode 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.
