Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 322

Marguerite finished speaking and turned to leave, but as she did, she bumped into Robert, who was in the middle of a sneeze.

Robert rubbed his nose, "Marguerite? What are you still doing here?"

He had heard from Chuck earlier in the morning when he went to see Miley that Marguerite was coming to the office. He had already returned from his date and she was still waiting here?

"He didn’t want to see me, so I had no choice but to wait here," Marguerite chuckled bitterly.

Robert, being the chivalrous man that he is, said, "You're here for the bracelet, aren't you? Wait a minute, I'll go get it for you." With that, Robert quickly arrived at the CEO's office.

Frederick was still smoking, gazing out the window at the sunset.

On the security footage, Marguerite's silhouette was particularly clear.

Childish! Robert couldn't help but mutter in his mind, before deliberately asking, "So you're free? No clients today?"

Frederick was brief, "No."

Robert seized the opportunity to complain, "Figures, you've turned the lobby into an ice cave, you've scared off all the clients."

As he spoke, Robert picked up the bracelet from the table and turned to leave.

"Put it down!" Frederick's voice was cold and commanding.

Robert stopped in his tracks, making up an excuse, "There's a blizzard tonight, and she won't be able to get out if she doesn't leave soon."

Frederick slowly turned his head to meet Robert's gaze, sneering coldly, "What's it to me?"

Robert was helpless and confused. He didn’t understand why Frederick insisted on hurting Marguerite.

Three years ago, he didn't understand why Marguerite got involved with Maurice, only to cling to Frederick's picture after they left Stonebridge City. He also didn't understand why Frederick who clearly loved her would reject any news about her.
