NovelEnglishChapter 324
With furrowed brows, Lexi thought, I’ve been working here for years, and no
one has ever barged in so rudely before. Yet, when she saw who it was, a
smile tugged at her lips. “What’s the matter, Ms. Beatrix? It’s my first time
seeing you like that. Do I owe you money?”
“Oh, stop making fun of me, Lexi. I need your help.” Beatrix pleaded, holding
onto Lexi’s arm.
“I’ll help you, of course, Ms. Beatrix. What do you need me for?” In fact, Lexi was
puzzled, for Beatrix had never pleaded with her like this before.
Just as she thought Beatrix must have made a big mistake, the young girl
said, “Mackenzie and Manuel got divorced. Can you find a way to make them
get back together?”
“That’s it?” Lexi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. “Didn’t you make a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbet with me? It looks like you won. They really couldn’t last three months. Did
you come all the way to rub it in my face?” Suddenly, she became wary. Is
she here just to show off?
However, Beatrix stomped her feet anxiously. “Do I seem like that kind of
scheming woman to you?”
“Of course not.” After Lexi denied it, she suddenly smirked. “But you are one.”
This left Beatrix speechless. If she continues to talk like that, it will be the end
of our friendship.
“Okay, okay. How do you want me to help?” Lexi finally asked seriously.
“I want you to persuade Mackenzie to meet Manuel again and resolve their
conflicts.” Beatrix poured out her heart as she said, “Mackenzie has a phobia
of men. It took her so long to find a man she could get along with for almost
two months. So, I really hope she can find happiness.” Most importantly,
Mackenzie has been treating others so coldly for the past two days. As her
sister, I can tolerate her for two days, but I can’t bear it for two years, let alone
a lifetime.
*Alright. I’ll try talking to her.” Lexi sighed and looked a little unwilling. Although
she was Mackenzie’s best friend and subordinate, she was also afraid of
Mackenzie. It would be extra difficult to communicate with her in her current
state.
Knock. Knock. She quickly knocked on the CEO’s office door.
“Come in.” Without raising her head, she gave the instruction expressionlessly.
After Lexi walked in and looked around, she couldn’t tell any abnormalities in
Mackenzie. She looks the same. No wonder I know nothing about her divorce,
even after two days.
“What’s the matter?” Mackenzie suddenly looked up, and her gaze was like a
flash of lightning. “Why are you staring at me like a monster?”
Immediately, Lexi waved her hands in fear and apologized with a smile. “I’m
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsorry, Ms. Quillen. I came to talk to you.”
“Don’t bother talking if it’s not about work. Remember to not cross the line and
mind your own business.” After that, Mackenzie lowered her head again and
continued with her work, appearing calm and completely unlike a woman
who had just divorced. She showed no signs of that at all.
Seeing that, Lexi couldn’t help but sigh. “Ms. Quillen, sometimes being too
smart and too strong–willed as a woman may not be a good thing. Women
are meant for others to care for them—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mackenzie suddenly looked up again.
When Lexi met those powerful eyes, she quickly shut her mouth and
obediently walked out of the office.
“How did it go, Lexi? Good?” Beatrix, who was waiting outside, asked anxiously
in a secretive manner.
“Sorry. Mission failed.” Lexi shrugged.

Meanwhile, in the office, after Mackenzie sent Lexi away, she threw the pen in
her hand onto the desk in frustration. Why does everyone around me think
that I should stay married to Emmanuel?
