Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 421

Chapter 422

Jimmy, who had taken Mackenzie’s order, hurried over.

Mackenzie had just placed an order worth nearly six figures for food and

wine, but she had paid the bill without even taking a bite of the food and

wanted to a*sault someone. Jimmy was well aware that she was an

extremely wealthy and beautiful woman. He absolutely couldn’t allow anyone

else from the hotel to easily offend her!

Meanwhile, Mackenzie took advantage of Jimmy’s intervention and scanned

her surroundings again but still didn’t see Emmanuel.

At this point, she suspected that she had misheard something. Could it be

that her longing for that dummy was causing auditory hallucinations?

“Miss, may I ask if you’re looking for someone?” Jimmy asked again as he

wanted to confirm if Mackenzie was indeed searching for Emmanuel.

Unfortunately, she had no intention of speaking to anyone and turned to

leave.

Jimmy couldn’t do anything else either.

However, the two young apprentices took the initiative to approach Jimmy

and whispered, “Hey, it’s really pitiful for Mr. Lowe. He has been working

diligently for half a month, but now he can’t even get a single penny when he

wants to leave!”

“Yeah, that Miss Zora is simply inhumane! She always tries to pander to those

above her station but doesn’t care at all about us lower-level staff!”

The two apprentices confided in Jimmy because he had a good relationship

with Emmanuel, and they were also colleagues.

Jimmy felt helpless and indignant after hearing this. “Miss Zora is truly

heartless. So, where did they go?”

“In order to get his wages, Mr. Lowe went to Madam Lofis’ office with Miss

Zora. Madam Lofis is even more unreasonable. I’m afraid she’ll humiliate Mr.

Lowe!”

“Ah, Mr. Lowe is really pitiful. Sometimes, just looking at him breaks my heart…”

The two young apprentices were filled with sympathy.

Mackenzie’s body trembled when she heard their conversation, and her

beautiful eyes widened in shock!

Mr. Lowe?

Could it really be Emmanuel?

With this thought, she immediately disregarded everything and turned back

again.

“Hey, Miss. What are you doing? Miss!”

The two apprentices thought she was about to leave, but they were taken

aback when she turned around again and quickly tried to stop her.

However, who could stop the icy CEO of Terence Group?

With just a glance by her, it was as if the two apprentices had been frozen in

place and unable to move!

“Hey, who do you think you are? This is a restricted area. Don’t barge in!”

In the end, it was the experienced old chef who managed to stop Mackenzie.

“Sir, was Emmanuel just here? Where is he now?”

Mackenzie stared at the old chef as she asked anxiously.

Killian furrowed his brows slightly and carefully sized Mackenzie up before

-asking, “Who are you to him?”

She was clever enough to realize that she hadn’t been mistaken!

That dummy was really here!

Was this what they called fate?

She randomly chose a hotel, and she happened to encounter Emmanuel

working there.

She finally found him, that dummy husband who wanted to escape!

“Sir, I’m his wife!”

“What? You’re his wife?”

5/5

Killian immediately wore a stern expression upon hearing that and didn’t care

who Mackenzie was. Instead, he scolded her harshly, “You don’t know how to

cherish him! Emmanuel is such a great man. Not only is he talented and

outstanding, but he is also hardworking, down-to-earth, and sincere in his

interactions. He’s not like those other men who chase after fleeting

pleasures!”

Chapter 423

“What did he do wrong? How did he let you down? You insisted on divorcing

him and even throwing him out of the house with nothing. He was forced to

leave his hometown and work here silently while suffering every day alone!”

“Do you know how cruel it is to love someone and be forced to leave them

while only able to secretly yearn for them?”

Killian continued to rant as if he wanted to swing his spatula and hit

someone!

Emmanuel had mentioned his family situation to others here, and somehow

the information reached Killian. As he was also experienced in matters of the

heart, he couldn’t help but scold Mackenzie as he felt that she was too

discontented.

Mackenzie swore that apart from Terence, no one had ever dared to speak to

her like this!

However, she wasn’t angry at this moment. She just felt heartbroken. She

wouldn’t mind even if Killian actually went ahead and slapped, her and might

even feel a bit relieved because she felt that the chef was right. Emmanuel

had come to the Onza alone, endured hardships, and secretly yearned for

her. It was all her fault.

He shouldn’t have suffered like this. He just liked her!

She truly was a bad woman when it came to relationships!

“Mr. Killian, please stop scolding her!”

The two apprentices on the side were anxious and loudly reminded Killian,

“Emmanuel went with Miss Zora to Madam Lofis’ office to ask for his salary!

I’m afraid Madam Lofis will reprimand him!”

“Yeah. Both Madam Lofis and Miss Zora are not good people. They’ve even

resorted to violence in dealing with salary disputes before. I’m afraid

Emmanuel will suffer if he clashes with them!”

When Mackenzie heard this, she felt her rage surging within her.

Why were there still unscrupulous employers who refused to pay their

workers in this era?

How could her man be bullied by these people?

She quickly took out a stack of money and handed it to Killian while saying,

“Sir, please take me to find Emmanuel!”

Everyone present was stunned after seeing that stack of money, which was

easily worth at least 5,000!

They always saw Emmanuel dressed plainly and living a frugal life. They

never expected his wife to be so wealthy!

Killian glanced at Mackenzie, then at the money in her hand, and felt even

more conflicted.

This woman had money, yet she let her husband suffer alone by working. It

was outrageous!

Yet, when he saw that she was sincere and earnest in finding Emmanuel, he

pushed the money back and said, “I don’t need or want your money. Just

make sure you and Emmanuel can restore your relationship and live a good

life! You don’t know that Emmanuel is truly a person with a strong sense of

but it only results in him being targeted by her. He’s made to do the dirtiest

and heaviest work every day, and he’s constantly verbally abused. They just

want to force him to leave without giving him a penny of his salary!”

As Mackenzie listened to Killian’s words, her anger grew stronger and

stronger by the second!

How dare these shameless people bully her man?

Hmph! Just wait and see how I deal with all of you!

“All right, take her to Madam Lofis’ office quickly!”

So, the two apprentices quickly led Mackenzie to Madam Lofis’ office after

receiving the green light from Killian.

They also enjoyed being around Emmanuel and were even a recipient of his

kindness.

He not only helped them with some heavy work, but when Miss Zora wanted

to squeeze them dry and drive them away while even resorting to

intimidation and suppression, it was none other than Emmanuel who stood

up for them. That was why they were still here.

So, when they saw him being targeted and openly bullied by Miss Zora, they

were frustrated by their own limited abilities to help him.

Now that Emmanuel’s wealthy and beautiful wife had arrived, they hoped she

could a*sist him!

Meanwhile, in Madam Lofis’ office, Miss Zora, who was dressed in professional

attire, had a stern expression as he led Emmanuel inside.

When they arrived in front of an elegant woman wearing pink gla*ses, Miss

Zora’s sullen face suddenly transformed into extreme flattery. “Madam Lofis,

your health is important. You should remember to take breaks even if you’re

busy! Here, let me make you a cup of coffee!”

Chapter 424

Vivian Zora was the human resource manager of the restaurant. She had

sharp eyes and a large mouth. Her appearance was particularly sharp and

sarcastic which earned her the nickname ‘Zora the Skinner’ among the staff

behind her back.

Her specialty was buttering up her superiors and then turning around to

undermine the benefits and wages of the restaurant’s employees. For

example, she embezzled the attendance bonus of the two apprentices for

her own gain.

When the two apprentices found out and confronted her, she sent her

lackeys to threaten them while arrogantly declaring that they could either

work or get lost! After all, there were plenty of people willing to take up such

low-level positions like apprentices!

Emmanuel couldn’t stand by and watch, so he stood up against her lackeys

and fought for justice for the two apprentices.

Since her lackeys couldn’t do anything to Emmanuel, she held a grudge

against him.

Now that he wanted to resign and loavo, Vivian deliberately withheld his

salary as a form of revenge.

At this moment, she took the opportunity to complain to the general

manager. “Madam Lofis, this waiter has been working in our restaurant for

less than 15 days and now wants to be paid even though he’s quitting

midway. It’s really shameless. So, I brought him here to see you!”

The general manager’s name was Mariah Lofis. She was 38 years old this

year, but she wore pink cat-eye gla*ses to appear younger. Frankly, that did

nothing for her complexion as it only highlighted the fact that she was an old

shrew!

Vivian was her trusted confidante as she was cultivated by Mariah herself. Of

course, Vivian was able to act recklessly in the restaurant because Mariah

was just as dishonorable and cruel as her. They excelled at teaming up to

exploit the staff and generate profits for the hotel.

At this moment, Mariah took a sip of coffee before sizing Emmanuel up.

She didn’t expect this male waiter to have such a good physique!

He looked strong but not greasy, and his muscles didn’t appear artificially

enhanced.

A faint covetous light flickered in her eyes, but she maintained a calm

demeanor on the surface.

“Miss Zora, you’re being too harsh. It’s only natural for someone who has

-Worked to receive their wages!” Mariah stood up and walked toward

Emmanuel while speaking.

Vivian was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect Mariah to speak up for

Emmanuel. Was the sun rising from the west?

However, she quickly reacted and wondered if Madam Lofis had taken a

liking to the man in front of her.

Although it was a bit unexpected, as the saying went, the S**uality of a

woman increased as their age increased. Mariah had been divorced for ten

years, and she probably hadn’t had a man to nourish her in all those years.

Perhaps she was secretly desperate for a man now?

Was she trying to keep a man for her pleasure?

While Vivian despised Mariah for giving into her baser instincts, she nodded

and smiled obsequiously while saying, “You’re right. I will heed your orders.”

Mariah ignored Vivian and reached out to touch Emmanuel’s cheek. “How is

it? Is the work hard?”

Emmanuel was startled and quickly took a step back. What was going on?

Did the general manager really care about the employees like this?

“It’s a bit hard, but it’s all for the wages,” Emmanuel said while maintaining a

distance and a wary look in his eyes.

Mariah’s expression instantly changed when she saw his actions. Her

eyebrows suddenly twisted, and her eyes became incredibly sinister.

The number of men she took an interest in was extremely rare, and this loser

in front of her didn’t know what was good for him!

Did he still expect to be paid?

He was simply delusional!

“Madam Lofis, I have been working in the restaurant for 14 days. Please pay

me according to the rules.”

5/5

Once again, Emmanuel voiced his demands. Although he had come to Onza

to work as a way to divert attention and avoid arousing suspicion about his

journey to the Northern Region, he believed that if he had worked, he

deserved to be paid for his efforts.
