Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 179

Meanwhile, at the Winston Group, Frederick received a text from Chuck —

[Mr. Winston, Marguerite is awake. After the last IV drip for her inflammation, she can go home.]

Upon reading it, he felt frustrated and didn't reply. Instead, he got up and began to smoke by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Without Marguerite, the CEO's office felt desolate. The flower room upstairs had also been neglected for a while.

A few days ago, he went up to check. The corgi and the parrot were both whimpering in protest.

Suddenly, the glass door of the CEO's office was forcefully swung open by someone.

Frederick turned his head to see Robert storming in with an angry face. He slammed a thick envelope onto the table, "I missed a date to retrieve these blasted photos for you! I went to the restaurant, found you not there, and my online girlfriend wasn't there either! What on earth is in this? You owe me an explanation!"

Frederick extinguished his cigarette and turned around. He picked up the envelope with photos, weighing it in his hand — it was quite heavy, like a stack of cards.

"Pictures of Yuna when she was little. There's also one of her and me together on her birthday."

Robert's eyes widened in confusion.

"You sabotaged my date with Smiley just to get pictures of Yuna? Frederick, I was meeting Smiley to investigate her for you!"

Smiley? That woman who was investigating him!

He had planned to get a good look at the audacious woman today, but unexpectedly ran into Marguerite at the restaurant, which left him feeling restless and disturbed.

He had tried his best to ignore her, but Marguerite got hurt.

Unable to control himself, he took her to the hospital, completely forgetting that he still had an important matter to attend to.

Why did this woman always manage to disrupt his plans?

"Did you meet her?"

Robert, both angry and exhausted, took a bottle of soda from the fridge and took a couple of sips without any enthusiasm.

"That's why I am so angry! I didn't get to see her! Frederick, next time, can you prioritize your tasks better? What's more important, Yuna's photos or Smiley's investigation?
