Chapter 64
Emmanuel did not care about what others thought
and towed Milani away from the restaurant.
“Mom, let’s go too.”
Once Roselynn towed the baffled Alessandra away
from the restaurant, the Zimmermans were the only
ones left, cringing in silence.
They shared looks with each other, not knowing what
to say.
“L–Let go of me!”
Milani only snapped back to her senses after getting
into the car, and she flung Emmanuel’s hand away.
Hmph! Is he trying to take advantage of me?
Emmanuel was too preoccupied with his fury to
entertain thoughts like those. “Why didn’t you come to
me for another blueprint when the original was ruined?
Must you foolishly draw another yourself?”
Milani did not dare to speak, but she was cold with
wrath too.
“It wouldn’t be an issue if you were actually skilled
enough to do it, but you’re not. I’d like to see what final
product you’re going to hand over to them tomorrow
after making a mistake with the logo!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMilani hung her head low as Emmanuel berated her,
but at the same time, she was biting her lower lip hard.
Assh*le! Go on, keep up with the arrogant act! Keep
scolding me! Once this is over, I’m going to settle the
score with you!
A while later, Emmanuel stopped, not seeing the point
in chiding her anymore, and turned to look out the
window.
It was only when both fell silent did the taxi driver
finally teased, “I saw you holding hands while getting
into the car earlier, so I thought you were a couple. The
two of you make a perfect pair.”
The driver’s words only worsened the awkward
atmosphere.
The second Emmanuel and Milani glanced at each
other, they whipped their heads away to avert their
gazes.
“I’m not his darn partner. He was my blind date, but
there’s no way I’d want someone like him!” Milani
snapped, finally having a spot to vent her anger.
Emmanuel was equally furious at that moment. He
snarled, “I already have a wife, and she’s a thousand
times better than you!”
Those were not only words meant to spite Milani. While
Mackenzie was not the friendliest person around, she
was certainly far more reliable than Milani.
Besides, Milani would still lose to her in terms of
appearance, demeanor, and wealth.
“Ha! You’re good at brainwashing yourself, aren’t you?
You talk about having a wife all the time, so why don’t
you take out her photo and let me have a look at her!”
Milani yelled. “Let’s have the taxi driver tell us who’s
prettier.”
“Yes, yes!” The driver was more than happy to play the
role of a judge.
Since he already considered Milani a gorgeous
woman, he couldn’t help but wonder how attractive
Emmanuel’s wife could be.
“I’m not in the mood to argue with you.”
Emmanuel was still not going to show Milani a photo of
Mackenzie.
First of all, he did not actually have a photo of her with
him.
Secondly, Mackenzie would certainly be upset to hear
about the incident.
“Ha! Funny. Stop fantasizing about how you have a wife
from now on, or else you will need to check yourself
into a psychiatric ward soon!” Milani mocked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe taxi soon reached its destination, and a glare from
Emmanuel made Milani clamp her mouth shut.
Milani had no choice but to bow to Emmanuel at work.
“Hurry up and find out what the finalized product looks
like. You have to find a way to fix it even if it means
staying up all night,” Emmanuel warned.
Milani could not read his mind. She thought he was
anxious about the commission and was taking the
opportunity to berate her. She frowned and gave him a
look of disdain.
Once Emmanuel finally had the chance to look at the
logo, he compared it with the original blueprint and
realized that a line was missing from the original four
lines.
It was not a major mistake, but it could be blown up.
The three lines were a popular brand symbol, and if
they were to go along with the mistake, they would risk
getting sued for plagiarism.
However, the final product was huge and made out of
marble. It was close to impossible to fix the mistake,
and if they were to redo the product, the product
would not be ready in time for the ribbon–cutting
ceremony of the project.
“Hey, what do we do now?”
