Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 18

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Marguerite had a pretty chill first day at work, basically did nothing. Just as she was about to clock out, Robert popped up behind her. She was so startled when she turned around and saw him, blurting out, "Mr. Fitzgerald..."

Robert just grinned, "Ready to head out? Come with me, I'll show you where you'll be staying."

She was surprised he remembered his promise. She thought she'd be spending the night in the hospital corridor again. She had nothing to carry, so she followed Robert empty-handed to his car in the parking lot.

The ride was fast and silent. Marguerite didn't ask where she was going. Even though she'd just met Robert, she felt he was more reliable and friendly than Frederick. So she trusted him.

But Robert totally let her down.

Because when they reached their destination and Robert's car pulled into Sapphire Valley Estates and stopped in front of Frederick's mansion, Marguerite was gobsmacked. This was Frederick's crib! Why did he bring her here?

Marguerite looked at him dumbfounded, incredulously asking, "Mr. Fitzgerald, you're not telling me I'm staying at Frederick's place, are you?"

Robert raised an eyebrow, "You knew this was his place? You've been here before, huh. How's the bed?"

Marguerite's face turned beet red, totally mortified.
