Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 11

Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.

No sooner had Yuna left than Marguerite got a call for an interview from the design department of LuxeScents International. She could hardly believe her ears. She'd sent out a ton of resumes and LuxeScents, being a globally renowned perfume company, was the one she had the least hope for. But to her surprise, it turned out to be the only one that got back to her and invited her for an interview.

Marguerite figured as long as she could get a foot in the door at LuxeScents, she could take her grandma and get the heck out of chaotic Stonebridge City for good once her grandma gets better. She had no idea that she was in for a world of challenges.

Half an hour later.

Marguerite, all giddy and jittery, rushed to the headquarters of LuxeScents International. She was escorted by a secretary straight to the top floor of the building. As the secretary pushed open the glass door, Marguerite was gobsmacked. She was just a simple country girl who'd never seen such grandeur.

The office was bathed in light, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The lush greenery and flowers made her feel like she'd stepped into a fairyland. What made her more anxious was the gathering of people in the reception area with her perfume sample displayed in the center of the table.

Were all these folks here to interview her?

She spotted a tall man standing with his back to the crowd by the window. He stood out like a sore thumb among the crowd, emanating an aura of power, like a natural-born ruler. Something about this man seemed oddly familiar to her.

As the secretary handed the man Marguerite's personal details she'd filled out earlier, he respectfully said, "Mr. Winston, the designer of Polar Radiance perfume is here."

The man gave a slight nod, glanced at the document, then abruptly turned around.

Marguerite was taken aback by his piercing gaze, just as flabbergasted as Frederick at that moment!

His skin was delicate, features handsome. He looked dashing in his navy blue suit, tailored to perfection. The mole by his eye added an air of mystery. His good looks were jaw-dropping.

Marguerite was too stunned to react. Frederick! What was he doing here? The boss of LuxeScents International was him!
