His sister was genuinely exasperated.
“Alright, Manny, please send Ruby home first.”
Alessandra, though kind-hearted, wasn’t naive. She clearly knew which
woman to support for Ryder.

Ruby initially didn’t want to leave, but when she heard Alessandra asking
Emmanuel to send her home, he knew that her chance of riding in the
million-dollar Maserati had come.
It was Mackenzie’s car, after all.
“Sure!” Emmanuel and Ruby responded almost simultaneously.
Then, Ruby smiled at Emmanuel and said, “We’re so in sync!”
However, Emmanuel just snorted and walked away.
The situation would’ve undoubtedly left any woman embarrassed, mortified
even. Unfortunately, Ruby had already abandoned all pretense of dignity long
ago, so she wouldn’t feel embarrassed at all. In fact, she excitedly chased
after Emmanuel.
While she was busy taking various selfies in front of the Maserati and even
getting ready to open the door to sit inside for a photo, Emmanuel coldly
asked, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Getting in the car, of course!” Ruby was stumped for a
moment, then immediately approached Emmanuel and drew circles on his Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
chest with her finger. With a seductive look on her face, she said, “Or maybe
you’d like to do something else with me, and I’m willing. Just drive the car to a
more secluded place. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
Hmph! Emmanuel swatted her hand away and pointed to the taxi slowly
approaching from the other side. “You’ve got the wrong idea, Ms.
Zimmerman. I promised to send you home, but I didn’t promise to personally
drive you back. I’ve already paid for that car, so you don’t need to pay again!”

“You-”
smirked triumphantly.
Even though she didn’t get to ride in the Maserati or establish a good
relationship with Emmanuel this day, she had already confirmed that he and
Ryder were entirely different types of men!
Ryder might be honest, but he certainly wasn’t as controlled and disciplined,
especially when it came to desires of the flesh.
“Emmanuel, watch how I use him to squeeze out your money!”
Meanwhile, Emmanuel was hesitating about whether he should go home or
not. He was worried that he might unintentionally become a third wheel
between Ryder and Tia. Moreover, he was well aware that Tia had a favorable
impression of him, and his presence would not be conducive to their
developing relationship.”
Bah, I should just go and pick up wifey early!
Since everyone assumed he was taking Ruby home, Emmanuel decided not
to go inside.
On the other side, Mackenzie had just finished a meeting and returned to her
office. She rubbed her temples, feeling a little mentally exhausted.
At the door, Lexi gently knocked it while holding an exquisite bag in her hand.
“Come in!” said Mackenzie softly without lifting her head.
“Ms. Quillen, you’ve been in meetings all afternoon. You must be thirsty.
Luckily, a supplier sent over a bag of peaches. Shall I clean them for you to
soothe your throat?” Lexi raised the bag in her hand.
Mackenzie glanced at it expressionlessly, then sighed under her breath and
said, “I can’t eat right now. Put them in my car and ask Wally to drive me
home early. I’m a bit tired.”
“Alright, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi quickly nodded and went to make arrangements.
She knew why Mackenzie was so exhausted. Terence Group had been
-dealing with too many things lately.
Suppliers were terminating their contracts one after another.
Ignacio suddenly transferred his shares to the second-largest shareholder of
Terence Group. Now, the latter was using his majority ownership to
constantly oppose Mackenzie within the company.
Mysterious enemies hiding in the shadows keep making moves, and Terence
Group is facing internal and external challenges. Even though Ms. Quillen has
been handling things very well and hasn’t made any mistakes, she must be
mentally exhausted dealing with all this!
