Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 13

At this moment, Frederick had Marguerite frozen in her tracks with his burning gaze. His last words echoed in her ears – I’m the founder of LuxeScents International. Your fate is in my hands!

She had tried to persuade him with her professional knowledge and even planned to find his boss to fight for her chance to stay.

She was too naive. He was the king of the perfume industry, he indeed had the power to act as he pleased. And what did she count for? She dared to challenge this industry titan. This world was controlled by these people!

Marguerite's face turned ashen. She felt like a joke, watched coldly by everyone.

The office atmosphere was eerily quiet, Robert and Chuck were stunned. Especially Robert, he simply couldn't believe it.

Frederick's sense of smell had returned? That was too sudden! He was just counseling him a moment ago, and Frederick couldn't smell a thing!

Robert tried to contain his excitement, signaled Chuck to comfort Marguerite, and quickly pulled Frederick into an interior lounge, shutting the door tightly.

He was so thrilled that he didn't know what to do, he stuck his hand in front of Frederick's nose, his face tense. Frederick pushed him away, frowning, "What are you doing?"

"Smell me."

Frederick, "What?"

"I sprayed perfume today. Can you smell what it is?"

Frederick looked at him, frowning, and after a while, he realized his purpose. He leaned slightly forward, and took a light sniff. Soon, he pushed Robert's hand away again, without saying a word.

"Can you smell it?"

Frederick answered coldly, "Nope."

"Maybe the scent is too light, hold on."

Robert looked around, turned to find a scented candle on the bookshelf. He was so anxious that he knocked over some items. After a while, he finally found the scented candle he wanted, lit it, and held it up to Frederick's nose, "Smell again."

This scented candle was one of LuxeScents International's strongest scents, so sweet it was somewhat sickening. Frederick sniffed, but still shook his head.
