Chapter 407
In the conference room, the senior management staff couldn’t help but
wonder in surprise, She gathered us here in the middle of the night just to
look for a person?
However, Lexi was the first to snap out of her reverie as she slid her
black-rimmed glasses up her nose bridge and smiled. “We got it, Ms.
Mackenzie. May I ask if you’re looking for an architect or a bidding expert?”
Until now, everyone, including Lexi, thought that Mackenzie had called for a
meeting because of the urgent situation with the warehouse.
However, Mackenzie said expressionlessly, “I’m looking for Emmanuel.”
“What?”
There was no concealing the utter astonishment on everyone’s faces at this
point.
“Well…” For a moment, even Lexi didn’t know what she should say, gaping at
the stunning lady in front of her, who seemed like a stranger to her now. Is
she really the Icy Female CEO, Mackenzie Quillen? This is the conference
room of the company, but she wants to utilize the higher management staff
to look for a man?
Meanwhile, Beatrix was dumbstruck for quite a while as well, but when she
regained her senses, she was filled with excitement as she thought,
Mackenzie is the coolest! Is she going to publicly disclose her relationship
with Emmanuel now? I guess Grandpa would be delighted to witness this. Do
it, Mackenzie. I’ve got your back!
Nevertheless, Mackenzie was unbothered by the looks on everyone’s faces
because she already expected such a reaction and used a tone she usually
did whenever she announced an assignment. “Freddie, since you have many
men working for you, tell them to go out there and look for this man. Lilian,
you’re the head of the publicity department, contact the news agency and
put up a missing persons ad with a reward to search for him. And Lexi, you’re
in charge of going to a few organizations to find out whether any of them
had taken him away.”
Everyone was rendered speechless. Was she serious? It would cause a
city-wide commotion once word of this got out-the Icy Female CEO of
Terence Group went to great lengths in search of a man. Even the script of a
soap drama wouldn’t be so cheesy.
“Hey, why are you guys still in a daze? Get to work now!”
Beatrix was filled with excitement as she shouted, “Hurry! If you can’t find my
brot—Nò, if you can’t find the person Mackenzie is looking for, you’ll be looking
at a deducted salary!” Phew, that was close! I almost said that he’s my
brother-in-law, but thank goodness I managed to make a save.
Sure enough, Mackenzie’s gaze swept over her like a beam of cold light.
Although she was running a city-wide search for her husband, she didn’t plan
to announce it to the world. As long as she didn’t disclose her relationship
with Emmanuel, everyone’s guesses would merely remain as guesses.
The group of senior management staff scattered off to their assigned tasks,
and Beatrix turned to Mackenzie. “What should I do, then? Why don’t I take a
few days off to look for him?”
She thought that Mackenzie would turn her down and reprimand her for
using this opportunity to slack off. So, she couldn’t koop her jaw from
dropping when she heard Mackenzie saying, “As you wish.” Then, the woman
even left the conference room without saying another word.
Pure glee washed over Beatrix after a moment of stunned silence. “This is
amazing! I can actually look for a man as instructed!”
Early the next morning, Roselynn brought her husband, Jaxton, home to visit
Alessandra and saw that Benny was also here with his family.
Roselynn set aside the reason that brought Benny here as she held
Alessandra’s hand and said nervously, “What’s going on, Mom? I heard that
Manny was taken to the police station. What’s the situation now?”
The look in Jack, Jaxton, and the others’ eyes became a little odd all of a
sudden. In fact, they were here because of this as well. None of them were
concerned about Emmanuel but were jealous of him. Honestly, they were
secretly wishing for something bad to befall him after they learned that he
had married a beautiful and wealthy woman.
