Emmanuel was curious. Mackenzie had never requested him to pick her
up before.
“As your wife, I’m asking you to pick me up. Why are you asking so many
questions?” she retorted.
Emmanuel was rendered speechless and nodded in agreement.
The following evening, Emmanuel arrived on his electric scooter in front of
Azure Business Club, still puzzled by the reason Mackenzie had asked him
to fetch her.
Ever since their signed agreement, this woman had become increasingly
inscrutable to him.
Is she asking me out on a date?
Emmanuel shook his head quickly to dismiss the thought. What nonsense
am i thinking? How outrageous!
Just then, a beauty in business attire emerged from the club.
Her white blouse highlighted her well–endowed chest, which even the
buttons struggled to constrain.
A tight black skirt paired with silver heels flaunted her slender figure Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
without reservation.
However, what truly made a man’s heart skip a beat were those taut
flesh–colored stockings.
The woman was modestly dressed, yet her attire was provocatively
captivating. As she staggered slightly, she resembled an enchanting
nymph.
It was an enthralling sight to behold.
Upon recognizing her, Emmanuel quickly dismounted his scooter and
jogged to meet her.
To his astonishment, this intoxicated beauty was none other than his wife,
the cold and distant CEO of Terence Group.

She had a dazed look and an unusual blush on her pretty face.
“What’s the matter, Ms. Quillen?” he asked.
At the sound of Emmanuel’s voice, Mackenzie seemed to relax a little.
“Emmanuel! Hurry up! Take me away!”
Hubert had gone mad. The day before, he had set up nine hundred and
ninety–nine roses in Terence Group’s headquarters to confess his love for
her.
The employees were in an uproar, whispering behind her back, though
none dared to discuss it in her presence.
Some even started betting on how long it would take Hubert to win her
over or get himself killed.
Tired of the gossip, Mackenzie had no choice but to call her nemesis,
Gautier.
Upon hearing of his brother’s humiliating display, Gautier promptly sent
someone to drag Hubert home.
He also apologized to Mackenzie, admitting that he was unable to control
Hubert. In addition, Gautier suggested that she find a way to nip his
younger brother’s infatuation with her in the bud.
Hence, Mackenzie told Gautier to inform Hubert that she already had a
boyfriend.
Gautier agreed it was a great idea, but it would be useless if Hubert didn’t
see Mackenzie’s boyfriend in person.
It was only for that reason that Mackenzie agreed to have a business chat
with Gautier at Azure Business Club.
Mackenzie had two agendas in mind. Firstly, she wanted to find out if the
mastermind behind her roadside ambush was indeed Gautier. Secondly,
she wanted to let Hubert meet her boyfriend in person and finally give up
on her.
However, she didn’t expect that Gautier didn’t even show up. Instead, only
Hubert excitedly showed up, and she ended up having a few drinks with
the.man.
Around nine, Mackenzie mentioned that her boyfriend was coming to pick
her up and stepped outside. She hadn’t expected the alcohol to hit her so
hard, causing her to stagger in her steps.
Emmanuel swiftly helped Mackenzie onto his scooter just as Hubert
hurried out.
“Mackenzie!” Hubert called out and even jogged to keep up with her.
He hadn’t believed Mackenzie when she said she had a boyfriend. The
sight of a man coming to pick her up on an electric scooter amused him
to no end.
I can understand that the high and mighty Ms. Mackenzie Quillen is trying
to reject me, but why on earth has she chosen someone so… mediocre?
This is ridiculous!
Before Hubert could catch up to them, a gang of ruffians suddenly sprang
up from the shadows, swiftly encircling Emmanuel and Mackenzie.
