Chapter 680
Milani was petrified as her mouth widened in disbelief.
That woman is the legendary Icy Female CEO of Yeringham as well as the
young lady from one of the wealthiest families?!
She had heard a lot about Mackenzie. However, due to her ordinary
background, she hadn’t had a chance to meet the woman.
In the past, she had hoped to meet her so that she could brag about it in
front of others. Nevertheless, she didn’t know that she had already come
across the woman, but she had offended the other party at that time.
My gosh! I’m so stupid! How could I offend a big shot like her?!
Soon, Ignacio pressed the doorbell. Upon getting permission from the woman
inside, he opened the door with the room card.
On the other hand, Noah and Milani stood outside like two students who had
made a mistake in the classroom.
“Haha. It’s my honor to have you here, Ms. Quillen.”
As a shrewd man who had been in the business world for years, Ignacio knew
how to butter up those who were more powerful.
Mackenzie was seated on the couch in the presidential suite and dealing
with work on her phone. It wasn’t until she heard the older man’s voice that
she lifted her gaze.
“I’m glad to be here too, Mr. Wallace.”
Following a perfunctory reply, she sported an icy expression. “Thanks for
booking the presidential suite of Luxoria Hotel for me. Is the woman outside
the door who greeted me earlier also your arrangement?”
“Well...”
Ignacio was startled for a moment. Knowing that he couldn’t avoid dealing
with the matter, he took the initiative by growling, “Noah, take your wife inside
and apologize to Ms. Quillen now!”
When he finished his words, Milani rushed into the room and fell to her knees
in front of Mackenzie before Noah could even make a move.
Mackenzie frowned, not expecting Emmanuel’s 18th date to be this kind of
woman.
It seemed that Alessandra hadn’t been selective when choosing women for
Emmanuel.
It was no wonder the man didn’t want any of them.
“I didn’t know who you were, Ms. Quillen. Sorry for offending you just now.
Please accept my apology.”
Milani begged for the woman’s mercy.
As an employee of Cloud Construction, she understood how influential the
Quillen family was in Yeringham.
She hoped to get Mackenzie’s forgiveness so that the woman would stop
treating her like a foe. It’d be best if they could even become best friends.
At the thought of this, she continued, “Isn’t it coincidental that we’ve bumped
into each other twice? My name is Milani Zimmerman. I helped with the
warehouse project for the Terence Group before.”
“Oh, it’s you,” Mackenzie replied with a smile, pretending to know the woman.
In an instant, Milani beamed. “Yes, it’s me. Do you know me, Ms. Quillen? It’s
my honor.”
“Yes, I heard of your name before.”
Mackenzie remained calm. Without telling the woman to get up, she
continued, “It was thanks to Emmanuel who chased away Mr. Webber and
the others that the project was successfully completed. I heard from Lexi that
you were his date. It seems that the two of you could be potential partners at
that time.”
Milani didn’t know that Mackenzie was probing her about her relationship with
-Emmanuel.
When she heard the woman’s words, she put on a brighter smile, assuming
that Mackenzie had taken the initiative to have a chat with her.
In that case, it was likely that they could be friends.
Just by thinking that she would have a wealthy young lady as her friend, she
felt that she would have a lot of opportunities in the future.
As such, she hurriedly replied, “To tell you the truth, it was the worst thing that
ever happened to me. Even though that man has lent the Terence Group a
Kelping hand, his personality is terrible.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Mackenzie asked intentionally.
Milani was excited, not expecting the wealthy young lady to be different from
the rumors about her. Instead of being icy, the woman seemed to love
gossip.
Since there was a chance to befriend the woman, Milani decided to dwell on
this topic.
She got to her feet and snorted. “He’s a horrible guy. After I turned him down,
he went hooking up with a rich woman. I wonder who the woman was for
keeping a plaything like him. She has an awful taste in men.”
Upon hearing that, Mackenzie furrowed her brows as her gaze radiated a
glint.
