Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 56
No matter what, I’ll have to confront her tonight and
get a confirmation.
Having made up his mind, Emmanuel went home after
getting off work and waited for Mackenzie’s return
anxiously.
To his frustration, Mackenzie came home later than
usual, not arriving until half past ten.
“Ms. Quillen, you came home later than usual today,
huh?” Emmanuel broke the silence.
Mackenzie was busy. She gave her husband a grunt
instead of a verbal response. Obviously, she was going
to grab her pajamas, take a shower, and go to bed.
Emmanuel knew she would sleep at eleven sharp, so
he stood in front of her, blocking her path.
“What is it?” Mackenzie frowned.
“Ms. Quillen, you promised to pay my family a visit, so
my mom has gone out of her way to make all the
necessary arrangements, even inviting our relatives. If
you were to suddenly change your mind and not

come, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her.”
After a pause, he added, “If you don’t keep your word,
I’ll have no choice but to let your grandpa know.”
Mackenzie scoffed in disdain.
Everyone knows I hate being threatened. I can’t believe
he’s so bold to threaten me!
Despite the fact that she had made a commitment to go and visit his family earlier, she changed her mind
later as she believed he had spent a romantic evening
with someone else.
Now that the truth had been unveiled, she couldn’t
help but think that he was a fool.
“Since you brought this up, I have a task that I need
you to complete.”
“What is it, Ms. Quillen?” Emmanuel asked politely.
I can do anything as long as she agrees to meet my
family.
“I promised to visit your family if Cloud Construction’s
project ends on time, but a minor problem has
occurred.”
Mackenzie retrieved a flash drive and placed it in front of him. “Following today’s strategic meeting, we have

come to the conclusion that the logo for the building
must be changed. Tomorrow, you need to persuade
Cloud Construction to alter the logo in accordance
with the new design without compromising the
timeline of the project.”
Emmanuel’s brows scrunched up, but he accepted the
flash drive nonetheless.
He knew that Mackenzie wasn’t trying to make things
difficult for him on purpose. She had just helped his
mother out, so he was obliged to return her favor.
“Good luck!” Mackenzie parted her lips to utter some
words of encouragement for formality’s sake before
returning to her room.
Rather than delegating the task to someone else, she
wanted him to demonstrate his worthiness and
potential so she could promote him to a higher rank in
Organization.
the
Though my husband may be foolish at times, I cannot
stand the sight of him and Alessandra struggling with

financial woes.
To complete Mackenzie’s task, Emmanuel had to
request a half–day leave of absence from the hospital
where he worked.
Early the next day, he was contacted by a woman who
claimed that the company tasked her to assist him
with the Cloud Construction project’s alteration so it
could be completed by the designated date.
Emmanuel agreed to meet her. When he arrived at the
place where they agreed to meet, he was surprised to
see a familiar BMW.
The woman who stepped out of the vehicle was none
other than Lexi.
“Mr. Lowe, we meet again!”
Lexi wasn’t as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie, but she
was still a stylish and lovely lady.
“Oh, it’s you. Do you work at Terence Group, too?”
Back when Emmanuel helped Lexi to get rid of the
scammer at the café, he left without getting her
contact details. Thus, he knew nothing about her.

“Yes, I am a senior secretary at Terence Group,” Lexi
revealed honestly as she stretched her hand out
calmly.
Emmanuel shook her hand. They then got into her
BMW and headed to Cloud Construction,
RA
“Ms. Summerton, welcome. Please excuse me for my
lack of hospitality.”
The project manager of the Cloud Construction project
was a middle–aged man going by the name of Walter
Zackas.
Naturally, he was aware of Lexi’s important role as
Mackenzie’s closest ally and came to give her a warm
welcome.
“Mr. Zackas, let me introduce you to the person in
charge of this project, Mr. Emmanuel Lowe.” Lexi
personally made the introductions.
Emmanuel was surprised. When did I become the
person in charge?
Walter could barely hide his shock.

He was completely unaware that the individual
accompanying Lexi had a greater standing than her as
he assumed that Terence Group had been considerate
enough to send Lexi as a representative.
I can’t take their visit lightly!
