Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 125
During the meal, Mackenzie’s phone rang.
Beatrix and Lexi lowered their heads before glimpsing at her.
They didn’t have the nerve to play with their phones while eating with
Mackenzie. If their phones were the ones ringing, they’d need to ask her for
permission to answer it.
Of course, Mackenzie usually never answered calls while eating. However,
that one was an exception because she accepted it after seeing the
caller.
After the person on the other side spoke for a while, she coldly replied,
“Mhm. I understand.” Then, she put the phone away.
Beatrix’s head was still lowered as she mouthed a few words at Lexi. “It’s
Manuel.”
Lexi grinned in secret. It seems that man is always granted special
privileges by Ms. Quillen.
When Mackenzie swept her gaze past them, they swiftly pretended to
focus on their meals.
(
“Help me look into something, Lexi,” ordered Mackenzie abruptly.
It was why she asked Lexi out for a meal.

There were three reasons Lexi successfully became the personal assistant
to Mackenzie.
Firstly, she also graduated with MBA. Thus, she was knowledgeable and
capable.
Secondly, she was the daughter of a prominent family. While her family
wasn’t as influential as the Quillen family, they were still distinguished.
Thirdly, she was a hacker with a unique source of intel.
“Say the word, Ms. Quillen.” Lexi revered Mackenzie. In addition to how she
admired Mackenzie’s success and her relationship with the latter, she
genuinely respected and looked up to her employer.
“I want you to locate Emerson and see if he’s imprisoned in northern
Manchernius,” requested Mackenzie.
Promptly, Lexi replied, “Roger!” This is a piece of cake for me. Since more
than twenty years ago, plenty of people have illegally traveled to another
country to perform activities deemed criminal by local law. It had gotten
particularly bad in the past few years. Although, there’re only a few
methods one could utilize to leave the country in that manner. With
Terence Group’s resources and my personal intelligence network, it’s not
difficult for me to locate who had left the country through those secret
channels recently.

A thought struck Mackenzie’s mind before she relayed another order.
“Also, send someone to investigate Emmanuel’s granddad.”
Beatrix was stunned and couldn’t help but tease, “Have you started
getting curious about Manuel’s background? Are you learning more about
him because you plan to live the rest of your life with him?”
Without delay, Mackenzie shot a glance at her. “It seems like you’re quite
free, considering you have so much to say.”
“Not at all! I’m busy, actually!” Beatrix zipped her mouth immediately. I
don’t know if the same applies to someone else, but if I speak any further,
she’ll definitely increase my workload. I’m not Manuel, so I don’t have
special privileges!
“Understood, Ms. Quillen.” Lexi nodded.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel called many people to save Emerson. He even
visited numerous locations for that purpose, including the police station.
However, the police explained that they would need to cooperate with
northern Manchernius‘ officers to rescue Emerson, and there was no
guarantee they would succeed.
Emmanuel wasn’t worried about Emerson’s safety. However, he feared his
uncle’s death would cause his mother to feel bad and his grandfather’s
family to harass his family.

It wasn’t until ten in the night that Emmanuel returned home, exhausted.
When he saw Mackenzie doing something on the balcony, he approached
her, intrigued.
