Chapter 518

Beatrix couldn't help but tease Mackenzie and Emmanuel as they shared affectionate glances, her playful tone masking the hint of envy she felt as a single woman. Yet, amidst their playful banter, she couldn't shake the feeling that their relationship was more than just surface-level attraction. Perhaps, she mused, love truly had the power to transform even the most daunting challenges into moments of joy and serendipity.
As Mackenzie voiced his concern about the impending logistical issue, Beatrix's laughter subsided, replaced by a sense of urgency. The stakes were high, and time was ticking away with each passing moment. If they couldn't secure a logistics partner within the next five days, it would not only disrupt the shipment but also incur hefty financial penalties. Beatrix knew that they needed a solution, and they needed it fast.
Mackenzie's attempt to mask his concern with a stern expression did little to reassure Beatrix. She could see right through his facade, recognizing the fear and uncertainty that lurked beneath the surface. And when Emmanuel responded with unwavering confidence, Beatrix couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. His nonchalant demeanor belied the gravity of the situation, leaving Beatrix to wonder if he truly understood the magnitude of the challenge they faced.
