"Mr. Winston, the ventilation system needs..." Chuck's voice suddenly stopped, Marguerite's eyes opened wide as she straightened up in surprise, quickly moving to the corner of the room.

She shot Chuck an awkward glance, making him feel both embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Chuck disappeared in an instant, and the room returned to its former silence. But the atmosphere couldn't return to the romantic vibe it once held.

Instead, it was filled with never-ending awkwardness.

Marguerite stood with her back to Frederick, feeling as if she had a thorn in her side.

His gaze was deep, "Did you understand what I said earlier?"

Marguerite was confused, "What did you say?"

Frederick's eyes hardened, and he impatiently tapped the blueprint, "The ventilation system!"
