“Mackenzie, accept Hubert’s proposal!”
“Mackenzie and Hubert is a match made in heaven!”
“Mackenzie! Hubert! Mackenzie!”
Upon hearing the chants, not only Emmanuel but even Beatrix was
dumbfounded.
How dare Hubert publicly declare his love for Mackenzie after working hours?
“Mackenzie, I really love you! I’ll only marry you, and no one else. I’ll pursue you
until I succeed!” Hubert declared at the top of his voice.
Although it wasn’t his first public confession of love to Mackenzie, it was
certainly the most high–profile one.
In his quest for success, Hubert generously funded a group of people to
assist him.
Candles, flowers, a lovesick gentleman, and an aloof beauty.
The atmosphere was incredibly romantic. Not only the young onlookers, but
even the middle–aged janitors couldn’t resist the surge of emotions welling
up inside them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf someone were to confess his love to them in such a manner, they would
drop their brooms and rush into his embrace.
Everyone was prepared to witness the romantic love story worthy of a
drama. However, Mackenzie was still nowhere to be seen.
It was too much for Emmanuel to bear.
Mackenzie is his wife, for heaven’s sake! Hubert is outrageous. How dare he
openly pursue my wife?
Emmanuel quickly glanced around and spotted two buckets of water near a
security booth. He grabbed them and rushed toward Hubert.
“The wind is strong, and the atmosphere is dry. Beware of fire!”
Although Emmanuel was furious, he couldn’t reveal his relationship with
Mackenzie, especially since they were still outside her company building. He
pretended to be a security guard.
When the crowd, who were initially filled with excitement, saw him
approaching with an aggressive stance, they were instantly shocked.
What is he thinking? Doesn’t the security guard know what it means to be
romantic? Tsk!
Ignoring the bewildered expressions of the crowd, Emmanuel splashed the
two buckets of water onto the flame.
As the echoes of the extinguished flames faded away, Hubert’s flicker of love
was extinguished as well.
He stared at Emmanuel in disbelief, a mixture of shock and anger filling his
eyes.
Is this security guard an imbecile? I was trying to do a romantic confession.
He has ruined everything!
Emmanuel pretended to heave a sigh of relief, wiping his forehead and
smiling. “All right, the fire has been extinguished! Don’t worry. With me as the
human fire extinguisher, rest assured that no flames will be able to ignite!”
After casually tossing aside the two water buckets, he prepared to enter the
company.
Lexi had been keeping an eye on the situation below for Mackenzie. She had
been wondering how to get rid of Hubert, the persistent suitor. Little did she
expect Mackenzie’s husband to suddenly appear.
She hurriedly entered the CEO’s office and excitedly recounted the scene she
had just witnessed to Mackenzie.
Mackenzie, who had been completely absorbed in her work, had pretended

approached the window on the twelfth floor, and gazed down below.
She couldn’t help but smile upon taking in the scene.
“You idiot, you ruined my confession! I’ll make sure you pay for this!”
exclaimed Hubert, his anger flaring up.
“Yeah! Let’s teach that clueless guy a lesson!”
“Do you know how much effort we put into this setup? Damn it!”
Before Emmanuel could step inside the building, he found himself instantly
surrounded by an angry crowd. Their hostile demeanor suggested they were
prepared to unleash their fury upon him.
When Mackenzie saw what was happening, she immediately instructed, “Lexi!
Hurry, inform all the security guards in the company to go down and support
Emmanuel!”
Mackenzie’s remark prompted a playful response from Lexi. “Got it, Ms.
Quillen. Just as your husband came to your rescue, now it’s your turn to
protect your husband!”
Mackenzie’s cheeks flushed, but she tried to maintain her composure and
cast an icy gaze at Lexi. “Is there a need for you to interpret my instructions?”
Lexi went silent and obediently carried out Mackenzie’s instructions.
