Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chatper 538

Chapter 538

She was fed up with Frederick rejecting her, with the dismissive shake of their heads and the cold declaration that

they didn’t love her, seemingly despising her to their core.

She refused to be hurt again, preferring to beat them to the punch and leave first.

At least that way, she wouldn’t look too pathetic in their eyes.

As for Maurice, she never intended to seek his help.

The pain in her eyes softened his heart. He was beginning to regret his harsh words and, with a tone tinged with

concession, he sighed faintly, “Alright, I’ll give you a trial period, but if you don’t meet my expectations, you’re out!”

Marguerite remained silently stoic, while Miley, impatient on the sidelines, quickly clutched her shoulder, speaking

on her behalf, “Deal Mr. Winston, you can count on us. With me backing Marguerite up, how could she possibly fail

to meet your standards?” Despite her words, Miley knew all too well what Frederick was really thinking.

After all, when Marguerite joined LuxeScents International three years ago, Robert had mentioned similar demands

from Mr. Winston.

And yet, hadn’t he ended up keeping her on the team?

Frederick and Marguerite, each more stubborn and prideful than the other. What a pair!

But Marguerite’s heart was filled with irritation. Frederick’s reluctant offer to keep her felt like charity, which was

the last thing she wanted.

Her displeasure was clear and her words still sharp, “I don’t need your trial period, and don’t act like you’re all that.

At Poppy Petal Fragrances, you’re just a small-time director!”

Frederick’s brows furrowed, his voice involuntarily rising a notch, “What got into you today? Have a bee in your

bonnet?”

Miley and Robert exchanged a knowing look, both silently facepalming. Trouble was brewing!

Frederick was headstrong and fiery, responding to softness but not to force. And Marguerite was all pride, never

backing down, always charging straight into the fray.

When these two clashed, it was like a comet smashing into the planet neither willing to give an inch.

But this couldn’t happen! Miley and Robert had worked so hard to bring them together, from the acquisition of

LuxeScents International that left Marguerite jobless, to getting Frederick on board at Poppy Petal Fragrances.

Now, with the two finally set to collaborate again, any hiccup could ruin all of Miley and Robert’s efforts.
