A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 12

In the next moment, Mackenzie turned on her phone

and tossed it at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel grabbed the phone, but before he could

read the information on the device, he heard

Mackenzie speaking to him in an irresistible tone. “Help

me expedite this project. It needs to be completed

within a month!”

Baffled, he quickly read the content.

Terence Group requested Cloud Construction to build

a large-scale, strategic warehouse. The contract

involved one billion, and the deadline for the project

was the end of the month.

However, Cloud Construction informed Terence Group

two days ago that the project couldn’t be completed in

time.

Confused, he asked, “Terence Group can recoup the

funds and demand fifty million from Cloud

Construction for breaking the contract if they can’t

complete the project on time. Why are you in a hurry

to get it done?”

In response, Mackenzie smirked as a domineering and

resolute look entered her eyes. “If this warehouse can’t

be completed in time, Terence Group will suffer an

obscene profit loss. It’s not something fifty million can

compensate for. Do you understand?”

Emmanuel was stunned by that look of hers. No

wonder this woman is an executive in a large

corporation. She has an ambition that even a man

doesn’t have! Someone else would’ve been content

earning fifty million, but she wants even more profits! I

didn’t believe her in the past when she said she earns

three billion annually. But now, I think she’s telling the

truth. It’s a shame that the money she earns goes to

the company, not her pocket. Otherwise, she would be

living in a mansion instead of a

two-hundred-square-foot apartment in a residential

area.

Chapter 12 Emmanuel Again

“You think too highly of me, Ms. Quillen.” Suddenly,

Emmanuel smiled. “If Terence Group’s employees in

charge of this project can’t solve this issue, why do you

think a mere gynecologist like me can pull it off?”

“Useless!” A sigh slipped out of Mackenzie’s mouth.

She wouldn’t have thought much of his response if

other men had told her that instead.

However, because he was her husband, he was a lot

more special in her eyes.

The project was very important, so as the CEO of

Terence Group, she couldn’t just watch it fail without

doing anything to save it.

Of course, she had sent many to urge Cloud Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Construction to complete the project in time, but all

returned without success.

Initially, she had already accepted the fact that the

project was botched. However, when she saw

Emmanuel not even flinching despite suffering severe

injuries, she abruptly recalled how he faced five thugs

fearlessly and thought he was a tough nut. That was

why she had unrealistic expectations about him.

“Wait!” Emmanuel didn’t feel great seeing the

disappointment in Mackenzie’s eyes, so he offered, “I’ll

help you out, but if I succeed, you must do one thing

for me in return.”

She turned to face the slightly agitated man and

grinned. I seem to have ignited his fighting spirit by

looking down on him.

“What is it?”

“You’ll have to return home with me to meet my

mother and sister as my wife,” he stated firmly. This is

my best chance to pull it off. If I miss this opportunity,

there’s no telling how long I’ll need to wait before she’s

willing to return home with me.

As she stared at him, her expression shifted multiple

In reality, she still hadn’t acknowledged the marriage.

In fact, she thought it would end at any moment, which

was why she didn’t want anyone else to get involved.

Otherwise, things would only become more

complicated in the future.

However, she didn’t think he would succeed, so she

agreed.

Again

Upon receiving her agreement, Emmanuel released a

sigh of relief. I’m so excited! I bet Mom’s worries will be

eased when she sees my wife.

Meanwhile, when Milani returned home, her mother

yapped at her again.

Melody was a woman who played favorites as she

constantly badgered her daughter to go on blind

dates. Her goal was for her daughter to marry a

wealthy scion, obtain his betrothal gift, and help her

son marry a wife.

Therefore, when Milani told her Emmanuel had

returned the ten million, she reacted similarly to Milani.

On the other hand, Jacob was so furious that he tore

some hair off his head. How can anyone be that

stupid? I’m still waiting for my future brother-in-law’s

betrothal gift so I can buy a house and a car!

“Don’t worry, Mom. The company has noted my worth

and promoted me to project supervisor!” To prevent

her mother from urging her to attend another blind

date, she quickly added, “Once I complete the project,

I’ll earn an additional three hundred thousand as a

bonus! Maybe it’ll even help me get promoted again!”

She was the new project supervisor at Cloud

Construction.

However, her knowledge of the company’s upper

echelons was still lacking because she had just been

promoted.

In reality, she was given the position because the

previous supervisor quit. They were unable to handle

the pressure of the job because Terence Group kept

urging them to finish the project, even though its

progress kept stagnating.

No one wanted the hot potato that was the project.

Hence, the higher-ups offered enticing rewards to find

a scapegoat.

Milani was gleeful about her promotion because she

was completely unaware of all that.

Upon hearing what she said, Jacob leaped in joy.

“Really?” If she gives me her entire bonus, I’ll be able to

buy a decent car!

“Of course. In any case, you can count on me to take

care of your wedding.” Milani puffed her chest with

pride.

“You’re the best, Milani! I love you!”

“We’ll be counting on you, Milani,” said Melody.

Milani’s family had a lot of hopes for her.

During the night, Milani almost couldn’t sleep due to

her excitement whenever she thought about how

bright her future would be.

When she arrived at the office the next day, she

received an email from Terence Group inviting her to a

meeting at eight that night. It would be at the café

where she had her blind date last time.

Milani was puzzled by the location and time of the

meeting. Do they know I’m a beautiful woman, so they

want to use this opportunity to hit on me? Now that I

think about it, it’s possible. I’m aware many male

employees in this company see me as their goddess.

With that thought in mind, she deliberately put on

heavy makeup after work. In the end, she appeared

prettier than how she looked when she went on that

blind date with Emmanuel.

Before leaving for the cafe, she adjusted her bra until

she was happy with her cleavage.

She was a crafty woman, thinking if the client

happened to be a somewhat influential man and she

could please him, she wouldn’t need to worry about

maintaining her position.

Who knows, if everything goes well, I might not even

need to worry about money for the rest of my life!

Excitedly, Milani arrived at the café once again.

After waiting at table eight for five minutes, she felt

slightly anxious because the other person hadn’t

arrived yet.

When she raised her head after checking her watch,

she had a sense of deja vu as there was Emmanuel

again, late just like last time.

He then sat before her with a smile.

What the heck is this situation? Stunned, Milani gazed

at him with wide eyes.
