Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 153

Chuck wasn't sure if he should spill the beans completely.

After all, Marguerite was wearing a long face when she left The Drunken Donkey yesterday, it was pretty clear she didn't land a job.

Seeing that she wasn't successful, Chuck didn't pry any further.

Plus, when Mr. Winston found out today that Yuna was also working at The Drunken Donkey, he was madder than a wet hen.

Chuck didn't want to add fuel to the fire between Mr. Winston and Marguerite, so he only told Mr. Winston part of the story, "Mr. Winston, Marguerite was job hunting at Promenade Plaza yesterday, but she struck out."

Frederick's cold expression shifted slightly.

Was she still looking for a job?

He didn't believe that she, with no formal education, could get a nice job.

He figured she was used to the good life and would come crawling back to him.

"Get out."

"Yes, Mr. Winston."

---

The next day, 8 PM.

Marguerite went to work at The Drunken Donkey again, but as soon as she arrived, Lily summoned her into the office.

Lily warmly greeted her onto the couch and quickly got her a cup of Joe.

"Lily, why did you want to see me?" Marguerite asked, puzzled.

"Marguerite, why didn't you tell me you were Mr. Winston's girl? If I'd known, I wouldn't have had you working sales. I would even give you my position!"

The news of Frederick's actions yesterday had reached Lily.

He thought she was Yuna, and he wouldn't let his girl work in a bar.

Marguerite was afraid of losing her job, so she quickly denied it, "Lily, you got it all wrong. Mr. Winston mistook me for his girlfriend last night. The lighting was dim, and he didn't see my face clearly. It was only when he took me out of the bar that he realized his mistake."

Lily raised an eyebrow, "So you're saying, you and Mr. Winston aren't involved?"

Marguerite affirmed, "We have nothing to do with each other!"

Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Mr. Winston took Marguerite out of the bar yesterday, his assistant came to her, demanding that she fire Marguerite immediately.

He even threatened that if she insisted on employing Marguerite, he would make sure The Drunken Donkey was blacklisted in the entire bar industry.
