Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Marianne’s perception of Mackenzie’s demeanor conveyed an unmistakable sense of superiority. She compared Mackenzie to a regal figure perched atop a pyramid, casting her gaze down upon others with an air of entitlement.

“Ah, Mackenzie, Beatrix, you’ve finally made it!” Roselynn greeted them warmly.

Mackenzie acknowledged Roselynn with a slight nod before turning her gaze to Marianne. “And who might this be?”

Tia, who was getting her makeup done, quickly stood up and said nervously, “Ms. Quillen, my mother spoke out of turn. Please… please don’t mind!”

Roselynn responded, “Mrs. Franks just arrived. I was just about to present it.”
