Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 51
When the interview was over, Beatrix rushed to the
headquarters and barged into Mackenzieâs office.
âWhatâs up? Do you have something to report?â
Mackenzie looked up. Her expression was cold.
âHehe. Guess who I interviewed today?â Beatrix
approached her happily.
âIâm not interested in guessing. Just spit it out if you
have something to say,â Mackenzie snapped as she
continued doing her work.
Fortunately, Beatrix had expected that reaction from
Mackenzie. In fact, the former was used to it.
Regardless, she announced excitedly, âI interviewed
Emmanuel!â
âWhat?â Mackenzie immediately looked up.
In the past, Beatrix would not believe Mackenzie had
someone she cared about, not to mention the person
was a man.
Oh, shoot!
Judging by Mackenzieâs reaction, Beatrix had a feeling
that she was at risk of losing her bet with Lexi.
âArenât you hiring a partâtimer to help you with the
projects? Why did he come for the interview?â asked
Mackenzie curiously.
Chuckling, Beatrix responded, âMaybe Emmanuel is
short of money.â
Noting the change in Mackenzieâs expression, Beatrix suddenly added, âBy the way, I asked him and it turned
out that he wasnât having a candlelight dinner with
Claudette yesterday. He was just thanking her for
helping his mom get the ward back.â
âWhat?â
Mackenzie appeared more agitated, so much so that
her reaction shocked Beatrix.
Holy cow!
In the past, she could never imagine getting such
reactions from her sister.
After all, Mackenzie was the indifferent CEO of Terence
Group who had misandry.
Mackenzie did not care what Beatrixâs motives were.
The formerâs usual calm expression changed
incessantly.
After all, she was the one who helped Alessandra get
the ward back. It did not make sense that Emmanuel
was giving Claudette the credit.
âIs he stupid or what?â Mackenzie tapped the table
gently.
Beatrix was stupefied that she didnât even blink.
Of course, Beatrix did not know what Mackenzie meant,
but the latter was clearly very emotional.
Her coolâheaded sister that had misandry was getting
riled up for a man. That was something Beatrix could
never imagine in the past.
Donât tell me she likes him. No way. Thatâs impossible.
âAil right. You may leave now.â
Mackenzie quickly recollected herself. She shifted her
gaze back to the computer screen and continued
working.
It was only when Beatrix left after making a face did
Mackenzie let out a sigh and hit the table.
âIâm never helping that idiot again.â
Alessandra had not been working for the past two
years because of her poor kidney condition.
Recently, she had been working hard to help pay off
Emmanuelâs debts and trying to buy Mackenzie
betrothal gifts and jewelry.
Terence Group was a famous, newly established
company. The truth was, being a cleaner was easy, but
Alessandra worked too hard. She even served the
employees drinks, which left her exhausted.
When the manager asked her to clean up the
conference room, her kidneys were already in pain
from exhaustion. Hence, she had to lean against the
table.
Just then, she accidentally collapsed to the ground
and bumped into a table.
Instantly, all the drinks spilled onto the table, drenching
the managerâs laptop and brandânew iPhone fourteen
before he could even take them away.
âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â
Derek Schwartz, the manager, rushed in. His expression darkened, and his heart sank at what he saw in the
conference room.

âMaâam, are you all right?â
