“Milani’s family, of course.” Alessandra explained, “Her
mother, Melody, had come to me directly to invite me
to a celebratory dinner, as her daughter had been
promoted. She was so enthusiastic about the prospect
that I could not refuse, especially since I knew that
Melody would call me petty if I did not accept the
invitation.”
Emmanuel rolled his eyes.
Mom is naive. It is obvious that Milani’s family is up to
no good. Nevertheless, I had gone on a blind date with
Milani before and worked alongside her on a project.
Now that the project is complete, it would be
inappropriate for me to refuse to attend a party she’s
holding to celebrate. Mom has agreed to be there, Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
anyway. I don’t want to go against her wishes.
At that moment, Beatrix and Lexi were seized by a
sense of panic in the office of Terence Group.
To their horror, they discovered a mistake in the
strategic warehouse’s logo!
One of the details was supposed to have four
horizontal lines, but only three lines were present.
This discrepancy did not abide by the initial design,
making it an unacceptable error.
“How could Cloud Construction make such a stupid
mistake?” Beatrix demanded angrily.
When Beatrix began her new job, Mackenzie tasked her
with a very important project. She couldn’t believe that
her efforts were foiled by an unforeseen error.
“What is wrong with Cloud Construction? Ms. Quillen
will definitely fly into a rage if she discovers the
mistake!” Lexi was troubled, too.
Cloud Construction is a highly respected and
successful business with a long–standing reputation
for producing quality work. Why would they make such
a crucial mistake?
This mistake would have minimal impact on Terence
Group’s long–term action plan as the logo had little
functionality. However, it would have a significant
effect on their reputation.
The opening ceremony of the strategic warehouse
was scheduled for the second day of the following
month. However, if there was an error in the logo, it
could lead to public humiliation as well as give their
competitors an opportunity to criticize them.
“I know Mackenzie well. If she discovers the logo is
incorrect, she’ll definitely yell at me. What should we
do?” Beatrix was about to lose her mind.
Despite their close bond, she couldn’t shake her fear of
Mackenzie.
Everyone in Terence Group feared and admired
Mackenzie.
“Ms. Beatrix, this has nothing to do with you. I’ll go find
Emmanuel and solve the problem as soon as
possible,” Lexi comforted her.
Ms. Beatrix might be my superior, but she doesn’t have
experience in handling such matters. I’ll have to take
the matter into my own hands.
“Thanks, Lexi!” Beatrix sighed.
She wanted nothing more than to punish the person
who made the mistake at Cloud Construction, but they
still had no idea who it was.
Meanwhile, Milani was blissfully unaware that she had
made a serious blunder. She was ecstatic to have
received Walter’s verbal promise.
She wanted everyone to be aware of the fantastic
news that she was to receive a substantial bonus of
three hundred thousand and her promotion to a senior
executive position in Cloud Construction with a yearly
salary of three hundred thousand.
The Zimmerman family felt proud of her achievements,
too. In Yeringham, the average annual salary was
seventy thousand, so Milani’s success was an
impressive feat.
At seven sharp, Emmanuel, Alessandra, and Roselynn
arrived at the restaurant to attend the dinner.
They were well–dressed to show their respect for the
occasion.
At the door of the VIP room, they discovered that the
Zimmerman family had invited over thirty guests to
join the celebration.
People started talking when Emmanuel’s family of
three showed up.
They mostly talked about him being Milani’s blind date
and that he earned eighty thousand annually.
After the blind date fell through, his entire family made
the trip to Milani’s family’s home in an attempt to ask
for her hand in marriage but was unfortunately
rejected.
Emmanuel’s brows knitted when he heard them gossip about him. It looks like Milani has set up a trap for me tonight.
Indeed, Milani led Emmanuel’s family to a table in the corner adjacent to the restroom.
