Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Mackenzie ignored Beatrix and walked out the door with two of her men trailing behind her. As expected, she saw Quintus smoking while waiting by his Land Rover.
Quintus immediately flicked off his cigarette when he saw Mackenzie and sprayed mint cologne all over his body while chewing some gum before walking toward her after ensuring that he did not have any smell of smoke on him.
She was speechless at his actions. What is this guy made of? I would have thought that he was one of my men if I didn’t know him. Unfortunately, Quintus couldn’t be blamed as he knew of Mackenzie’s misandry and that she didn’t like the smell of smoke. If he didn’t do that, she would have walked away as soon as they met.
“What are you here for?” Mackenzie questioned coldly. She came to see Quintus as she thought he wanted to avenge Claudette’s death. However, considering his actions, she knew that wasn’t the case.
“I want to have dinner with you, Mackenzie!” Quintus invited her with a smile. “Dinner? Is this to repay you for saving me?” Mackenzie didn’t like to owe people things and wanted to settle the matter. She could accept anything except being together with him.
Yet, Quintus was confused. “What do you mean by saving you?” She realized something in his expression and questioned urgently, “That night at the valley. It wasn’t you who saved me from the two assassins?”
“Oh! You were referring to that?” He acted as if he almost forgot about it and laughed, “Emmanuel, that idiot, wanted to save you instead of my sister. How could that be? He’s supposed to be with my sister and you’re mine. So, I saved you. Were you planning on repaying me with your heart-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the cold glint in her beautiful eyes and realized he probably said something wrong.
Well, this shouldn’t be the case. I saved her. She can’t hate me for that, right?
“That idiot!” Mackenzie cursed under her breath and ignored Quintus as she stormed toward her Bentley.
“Hey. Hey! Mackenzie, if you don’t want to give me your heart, you can give me a kiss! Or, dinner works too!” After Mackenzie left in her Bentley, Quintus walked to his Land Rover and asked Zane, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, “Did I say something just now? She’s divorced Emmanuel and I went to her rescue like a prince. It would be a fairytale if she gave me her heart.”
Zane simply smiled without answering. No one dared to tell their boss straight to the face that they were stupid. He didn’t want any trouble. “Ms. Quillen, where are we heading now?” Wally was a smart driver. He drove off to help Mackenzie escape Quintus before asking her where to go. Alas, Mackenzie stayed silent as she also didn’t know where to go.
At that moment, Lexi called to report to her. “What? You can’t find Emmanuel?”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen! I’ve used every channel I’ve got to look for him in Yeringham and no sign of him. He has either gone into hiding or has left Yeringham.”
“Left Yeringham?” Mackenzie suddenly straightened her back as her heart felt empty and overwhelmed. Why did that idiot leave? Was it because we divorced or because of Claudette’s death? He couldn’t accept it and wanted to escape?
Suddenly, numerous questions filled her mind and she felt unnerved by the worry plaguing her mind.
Just as she was about to ask Wally to start the car, she heard Quintus say, “My sister’s in a vegetative state after saving you. You should at least follow me home to see her, right?”
