Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1242 Unexpected Negotiations
Adding Manny’s emotions complicates the situation. He has been there for me since we were young, and I owe him for helping
me enter the company and for the best moments of my life.
Santiago’s advice about not owing favors in our line of work resonates in my mind. Now, Manny needs me to secure
this contract.
How can I escape and potentially cause him a significant loss?
No, I can’t do it!
After collecting his thoughts, Shane declared, “Let’s pretend I’m being possessed! Close my eyes and act like I don’t know
anything!” Then, he returned to the Titan Group office.
Meanwhile, Lola and Lily were unaware of his plan to run away. It was already past 6 p.m., and they were leaving work.
Coincidentally, they saw Shane returning to the office. They encouraged him, “Shanny, we’re counting on you tonight! Our bonus
depends on you, so keep it up!”
They’re not the ones being possessed; of course, they can talk without feeling the pain. Shane returned to the reception room
alone, sighing as he went.
At this time, Ms. Wenlocke had just finished an important meeting and entered the meeting room to meet Shane,
but the meeting room was empty.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a foul smell.

Ms. Wenlocke wondered, Strange! Who would dare to bring something sour in since all the employees of Titan Group know I’m a
clean freak who loves cleanliness and fresh air?
To confirm the source of the smell, she took a deep breath and detected it from a coat hanging on a nearby chair.
However, Shane walked in and witnessed the scene!
As Shane watched Ms. Wenlocke sniffing his coat, fear overtook him, and he almost lost control of his bladder.
He quickly turned around and ran outside, gritting his teeth and cursing in his heart, How strange! Why is the old witch so
interested in me? Now, she even fell in love with my belongings! I’m so charming that it becomes a problem
for me. Sigh!
Unaware of Shane’s presence, Ms. Wenlocke put the coat back with a disgusted expression. She fanned her nose
and walked out.
She thought, If it were one of the company’s employees with such a sour smell, I would fire them. However, I must tolerate it
since it is from the person in charge of M&L Group.
As Ms. Wenlocke was leaving the room, she accidentally collided with Shane, who was entering the meeting room.
“Ah!” she exclaimed.

She thought, If it were one of the company’s employees with such a sour smell, I would fire them. However, I must tolerate it

As Ms. Wenlocke was leaving the room, she accidentally collided with Shane, who was entering the meeting room.
“Ah!” she exclaimed.
Startled by the collision, Shane accidentally knocked her down. However, he quickly held her with one hand to
prevent any harm to her old bones, acting out of humanitarianism.
At that moment, their eyes met, and everything seemed to freeze.
Ms. Wenlocke felt relieved and blinked her eyes, thanking him with a smile, “Young man, thank you for catching me!”
Shane felt goosebumps all over his body as he heard her words. He wondered, D*mn! Is she flirting with me? He quickly helped
her up, wiped his arm, and responded coldly, “You’re welcome.”
“Mr. Murphy, shall we start discussing business? By the way, have you had dinner?” Ms. Wenlocke asked him warmly,
considering Mr. Smith’s instructions to treat the guest well and finalize the contract details.
Shane shook his head, indicating that he had not eaten yet.

Ms. Wenlocke suggested, “Then, let’s go to the hotel together. We can have dinner and have a thorough discussion afterward.”
“A thorough discussion?! How... How thorough?” Shane nervously asked, feeling a chill run down his spine at the mention of a
thorough discussion.
Ms. Wenlocke responded with a smile, “This is our first collaboration. We must understand each other well.”
She pondered, How can we not have effective communication for such a significant project?
However, Shane misunderstood her intention! He thought, Oh God, please save me! I don’t want to go deep, and I’m afraid I
can’t!
Shane followed Ms. Wenlocke to the elevator and soon arrived at the underground parking lot. Standing in front of a sleek red
Porsche, Ms. Wenlocke maintained her cheerful demeanor and asked, “Mr. Murphy, can you drive?”
Still lost in his wild thoughts, Shane was once again startled subconsciously, muttering, “Drive?”
He pondered, After reading numerous free novels, I certainly understand the implied meaning of driving! Does this old witch just
bluntly ask if I know how to engage in intirnate activities? Isn’t that too bold? I’m a very innocent man!
“Of course, I’m talking about driving my car, Ms. Wenlocke clarified with a chuckle. She couldn’t help but wonder, Does he think
he could drive all the way from Yeringham to this city?
