When Marguerite got a call from Chuck, she was in the middle of a meeting at LuxeScents International.
Knowing it was Frederick who wanted to see her, she hastily wrapped up the meeting, hopped into her car and sped off towards the Thunderbolt Building.
Truth be told, she was unsure about how to face him.
Especially after last night when he had blatantly ignored her. Even a fleeting glance seemed to be filled with the cold indifference of a stranger.
This realization stung Marguerite, reminding her that their relationship was over and there was no reason to continue the torment. Therefore, she shouldn’t go and see him. Yet, she was out of control.
The Thunderbolt Building wasn't too far from LuxeScents International and Marguerite arrived quickly. As she walked into the building, she saw many familiar faces. Those were all colleagues who had fought alongside Frederick, and even the receptionist seemed strangely familiar!
No wonder Frederick could make a comeback in just three years. Even though he had given up the Winston Group, he'd taken most of the connections with him.
The receptionist recognized Marguerite immediately, her expression a mix of surprise and awkwardness.
She stood up, her voice hesitant, "Ms. Lockwood?”
Marguerite nodded slightly, “Frederick asked me to pick something up.”
“Ms. Lockwood, do... do you have an appointment?”
A hint of disappointment flickered in Marguerite’s eyes. Right, she needed to book an appointment to see him now.
Marguerite forced a smile, “No.”
“Well, if you could just wait a moment, I’ll give him a call.”
The receptionist quickly dialed an extension, mumbling a few words that Marguerite couldn't make out.
