Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 57
“Oh? Mr. Lowe, you’re the person in charge of the
project?” Walter took his hand warmly.
“Uh, yes. Nice to meet you,” Emmanuel replied after
giving Lexi a quick look.
“Mr. Lows, welcome to the inspection! I should be
accompanying you, but I have an important meeting
to attend. I’ll arrange for the project supervisor to bring
you around!”
“Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zackas
“I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for
understanding Please wait in the VIP reception roorn!”
Water was incredibly thankful that Emmanuel had
such on agesable personality.
Soon, Milani made her way to the general manager’s
office hastily.
The sight of Emmanuel enjoying the air conditioner
and delicious food in the VIP reception room made her
grit her teeth in anger.
Ha! That b*stard must be here by assuming someone

else’s authority as his own. Look how he is lying
through his teeth to swindle for food and drinks!
Milani cursed inwardly before entering the general
manager’s office.
“Mr. Zackas, you asked to see me?” she asked, flashing
a sweet smile.
Her attitude did a one–eighty.
Walter was busy preparing the documents for his
meeting. Without looking up, he ordered, “Ah, yes.
Terence Group’s person in charge is here, so please
take care of that person on my behalf.”
“Okay!” Milani replied eagerly.
The project is about to be completed soon, so I’ll be
getting a well–deserved promotion and an impressive
three hundred thousand bonus. By then, I plan to throw
an unforgettable party to show off my success! I must
invite that useless Emmanuel so he’ll see the difference
between us. It’ll be a great chance for me to humiliate
him. Serves him right for being so smug previously!
Walter rose from his seat and approached her.

“I trust you to do a good job. The project is about to reach completion soon, so nothing can happen at this crucial moment,
okay?” he cautioned as he patted her
shoulder lightly.
know, Mr. Zackas!” Milani responded coyly.
Walter was her superior, so she needed him to
approve her promotion and bonus.
Soon, Milani arrived at the VIP room with fruits and
drinks.
Flashing a smile, she greeted Lexi warmly and
proceeded to give the latter a warm welcome.
As for Emmanuel, she merely provided him with water
as he was just the third party.
Seeing that, Lexi chided, “Ms. Zimmerman, what is the
meaning of this? You can be frank if you don’t
welcome us to inspect the progress. We can leave
right away!”
“Huh? Ms. Summerton, I don’t understand. I’m
welcoming you!” Milani replied innocently.
“You deliberately ignored our person in charge. How is
that welcoming him?”
“What? The person in charge?” Realization finally struck

Milani.
The person in charge of the project isn’t Lexi but
Emmanuel? What the heck is going on? Why would a
gynecologist be the person in charge of Terence
Group’s project?
Seeing her distress, Emmanuel smiled in response.
He didn’t know what was going on, but the sight of
Milani’s shocked expression pleased him to no end.
“Mr. Lowe, I’m really sorry. Please have some fruit!”

Milani offered the fruits she had personally cut to him.
“Mm, you did a good job by cutting the fruits. Can you
open that durian for me? It’s my favorite fruit!”
Emmanuel grinned as he pointed at the durian on the
table.
Milani went cold with fury.
Mr. Lowe, you’re quite a picky eater, huh?
Despite her fury, she had to do as told.
D*mn it. Do I have no choice but to give in even though
Emmanuel is merely assuming someone else’s

authority? I can’t believe Terence Group hired him to
be their person in charge. Is it because he helped them
get rid of the ruffians?
It took her a lot of time and effort to open the durian.
Milani couldn’t stand it anymore. When Emmanuel left
to use the restroom, she purposely asked softly, “Ms.
Summerton, why would your company hire a
part–timer to be in charge of the project?”
Jacob had been on his way to Terence Group for an
interview when he unexpectedly ran into Emmanuel
previously. As a result, Milani was aware that
Emmanuel had interviewed for a part–time job there.
She was dying to know how Emmanuel became the
person in charge of the project in such a short time.
“Ms. Zimmerman, are you doubting Terence Group’s
decision?” Lexi retorted coldly.
“Of course not, Ms. Summerton. You’ve got it wrong. I
wouldn’t dare question your decision. I was just
curious.”
Milani knew that Lexi was the CEO’s secretary in

Terence Group, so she dared not offend her.
“Ms. Zimmerman, I’d advise you to focus on your own
duties. You are not in the place to judge our company’s
personnel!”
Milani was caught off guard by Lexi’s icy retort.
Why does it seem to me that Lexi is Emmanuel’s
subordinate? What the heck is going on?
Emmanuel happened to return and heard Milani’s
words. It was pretty obvious to him what she had in
mind.
Since she’s hostile to me, I shouldn’t show her any
mercy!
“Ms. Zimmerman, please make a copy of this
document.”
“Ms. Zimmerman, please show us the progress of the
project.”
“Ms. Zimmerman, I need to talk to the engineering
department about something important. Please
arrange for a meeting.”
Upon Emmanuel’s return, he treated Milani as if she

were a servant, barking orders at her in a manner that
was far from appropriate.
Since she has some spare time to learn more about
me, I’ll keep her occupied!
Milani had an extremely busy day running errands, and
by the time she was done, her calves were sore and
swollen from the excessive walking. On top of that, her
heels had become so worn down from all the activity
that they had completely broken apart. A wave of fury
crashed through her as she twisted her heels off and
threw them onto the ground.
I would’ve fallen out with Emmanuel if it weren’t for my
three hundred thousand bonus, promotion, and salary
raise that I would soon receive. Who does he think he
is? His annual income is only eighty thousand, yet he
has the audacity to boss me around. This is totally
unacceptable, considering I make three hundred
thousand a year.
By half past five, Emmanuel was ready to get off work.
A smile nudged his lips as he commented, “Ms. Milani

Zimmerman, you did a good job despite your poor
attitude.”
Milani felt anger swept over her again.
Why does it sound like he’s giving me a rating after
enjoying my services as a masseur? F*ck you,
Emmanuel! Just you wait!
“By the way, this is the latest design of the building’s
logo. Remember to update to the latest one!”
The main objective of Emmanuel’s visit was to get to
know the progress of the project.
He breathed a sigh of relief upon finding out that the
logo had not yet been put up, affording the Terence
Group the opportunity to make the necessary
alteration to the logo.
It means that the project can be completed by the end
of this month. In that case, Mackenzie wouldn’t have
any reason to refuse to go home with me!
