Emmanuel thanked her immediately, “Thank you!

Whether it works or not, I’m grateful to you.”

Mackenzie put on a disdainful smile. Hmph. Derek will

definitely listen to me.

Regardless, she simply murmured a reply before

ignoring Emmanuel.

Go on and treat other women to meals. Wait. Didn’t I

swear not to help him anymore? Why did I agree to his

request? Ugh! I swear I won’t help this idiot next time!

The next day, Derek was summoned to the

headquarters.

He felt extremely nervous, thinking Alessandra had put

him in great trouble.

After all, Mackenzie’s temper was known by everyone in

Terence Group.

He figured he was going to be reprimanded harshly for being unreachable yesterday and also for being

a day late in submitting the data she wanted–the data he

had stayed up all night to redo.

Getting reprimanded was still fine. He feared

Mackenzie would fire him out of anger since several

managers had been fired in the past because of the

same thing.

“M–Ms. Quillen.” Derek knocked on the door and

entered the CEO’s office. He stood straight with his

head lowered like a little boy who made a mistake.

“Hello. Where’s the data?” asked Mackenzie

indifferently without lifting her head.

“It’s here.” Derek hurriedly placed the printed document

on her table.

Mackenzie looked through the document without

sparing him a glance.

Derek was so nervous that the muscles all over his

body tensed up. He was afraid Mackenzie might throw

就

the document at him and tell him to get lost.

Derek was his family’s breadwinner. If he lost his

high–salaried job, he would not be able to pay for the

mortgage, car loan, and even his children’s education.

He did not dare to think further.

After reading the document, Mackenzie finally lifted her

head slightly.

Derek had no guts to meet the beautiful woman’s

gaze. In fact, only a handful of men in Yeringham

dared to meet her gaze.

I wonder what kind of man can conquer her and make

her his wife? Her mother–in–law must fear her, too.

“Well done on the document. Remember to report to

the receptionist when there’s a problem with your

phone in the future.”

Mackenzie’s words stunned Derek. He even wondered if

he was hearing things.

She’s not scolding me? Does that mean I won’t be

demoted or fired?

“Y–Yes! I’ll keep that in mind, Ms. Quillen!” Derek

promised instantly, feeling much relieved.

“Is your laptop and phone fixed?”

“Y–Yes!”

“How much did it cost?”

“Around three thousand.”

Derek could not believe Mackenzie was actually

concerned about him.

Most importantly, he did not expect her to nod and

say, “Prepare the receipts and submit a

reimbursement form to the finance department.”

“Huh?” Derek was shocked beyond words. It took him

some time before he nodded. “Okay, Ms. Quillen.”

Normally, the company would not reimburse

employees for accidents like that. However, he

guessed it would not be a problem since Mackenzie

had given him the green light.

“The cleaner doesn’t have it easy, either. Don’t hold her

accountable,” Mackenzie added.

“Of course, Ms. Quillen. I understand.”

Actually, Derek did not. In fact, he was puzzled as to

why the mighty CEO would care for a cleaner.

Nonetheless, the fact that he could become a

department manager meant he was smart. As soon as

he stepped out of the office, he came to a realization.

Could that cleaner be acquainted with Ms. Quillen? Do

they have some kind of relationship?
