Chapter 391
Unbelievably, the unexpected happened again.
“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.
“Don’t you know to knock first?” Frederick’s voice was displeased, dark and chilling, even Marguerite felt a cold shiver down her spine.
“Mr. Winston, I’m sorry! I… I was careless!” Chuck apologized hastily, bowing his head and quickly heading out the door, “The weather is nice today, and I’ll go out and enjoy the sun! You two continue…”
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.
“Marguerite.” Frederick’s voice was flat.
“Huh?” Marguerite turned mechanically, only to see Frederick leisurely watching her, a slight smirk playing on his lips, giving off a devilish charm.
His gaze was deep, “Did you understand what I said earlier?”
Marguerite was confused, “What did you say?”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Frederick’s eyes hardened, and he impatiently tapped the blueprint, “The ventilation system!”
Marguerite immediately understood, “Got it.”
She timidly walked over, only to be reprimanded by Frederick, “Focus on your work, and stop daydreaming.”
Marguerite knew Frederick was referring to her earlier behavior, her cheeks flushed more fiercely.
Was he was angry? She glanced at Frederick from the corner of her eye, surprisingly, she saw no signs of displeasure on his face.
Could it be… No! How could that be?! How could Frederick have feelings for her? He probably can’t stand her!
Marguerite shook her head, quickly regaining her composure, and focused her attention back on the blueprint. But she had to admit, it seemed that only when she was working under Frederick, her potential could be maximized.
Also, she seemed to always understand Frederick’s thoughts.
She remembered three years ago, when Maurice revealed Frederick’s loss of smell, causing the whole company to be in turmoil.
At that time, Frederick proposed to apologize, but everyone doubted his intention, only she understood the meaning behind his action,
Such sweet memories, but no matter how sweet they were, they were in the past.
She would not have the chance to work with him again, after this cooperation, she probably wouldn’t cross paths with Frederick anymore. Thinking of this, a sense of loss swept over Marguerite.
She rolled up the blueprint on the table with a forced smile, “I’ll hand these blueprints to the site supervisor, we’ll start work again in the afternoon.”
As she was about to leave, a phone call came in. She immediately answered the call, and the next second she heard Hannah’s anxious voice, filled with a cry, “Ms. Lockwood, please come back quickly, the boss has sold LuxeScents International to a man named Mr. Charles!”
