Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 156

Chuck wasn't hot on Marguerite's heels, plus it was rush hour, the bus was packed, so Marguerite didn't notice him.

Marguerite got off at Regal Haven Hotel and headed straight for the hotel.

Seeing this, Chuck was gobsmacked, he was left breathless.

What on earth was Marguerite doing at the hotel this early in the morning?

Chuck was torn inside, wondering whether he should tell Frederick. But not long after, Marguerite emerged from the hotel, looking rather off-colour and utterly downcast.

This made Chuck even more curious.

Marguerite quickly made her exit. Chuck got off in a hurry, walked into the hotel and headed for the reception.

"Good day, sir, welcome to Regal Haven Hotel."

"Excuse me, did a short-haired lady in a grey T-shirt come in just now?" Chuck asked the receptionist.

The receptionist thought for a moment, "Do you mean the lady with freckles and average looks?"

"That's her! Can you tell me why she was here? Did she meet anyone?" Chuck asked tentatively.

"She was here for a receptionist interview, she only met our manager." the receptionist replied.

Then her gaze fell behind Chuck, "Sir, our manager is out now, you can ask him directly for the details."

Chuck turned around, upon seeing the manager he quickly unleashed his social skills, "Hawk, long time no see! Weren't you working in another city? How did you end up in Stonebridge City?"

"The education resources in Stonebridge City are top-notch, and I wanted a good school for my child, so I applied to transfer here. Chuck, why are you at our hotel so early? Anything up?" Hawk asked.

Chuck pulled Hawk aside and whispered, "There was a girl who came for a receptionist interview, how did she do?"

Hawk replied dismissively, "How could she possibly pass! The receptionist is the face of the hotel, but her image was too poor, so I didn't hire her."

Did she flunk again?

Gotta say, Marguerite really had a run of bad luck.

She'd been job hunting for days but with no success, Chuck knew it all.

But she was pregnant, the baby needed nutrition, she needed regular prenatal exams, there were plenty of places that needed money.

Even though she betrayed Frederick, after spending so much time with her, Chuck could tell that Marguerite was a kind-hearted girl, so he wanted to lend her a hand.
