Chapter 536
The moment the words left the Frederick’s mouth, the office erupted into a cacophony of shocked gasps and
whispers.
Had they heard that right? The famously aloof Mr. Winston was actually offering Marguerite the role of his
executive assistant?
Holy smokes! That position was the best opportunity-everyone would wish for it!
Ever since Frederick had joined the ranks of Poppy Petal Fragrances, people tried to cozy up to him, hoping to catch
his eye. They hoped that with just one shared glance, he might favor them with his attention. But no one had ever
succeeded!
Rumor had it that Mr. Winston was already engaged, with a three-year-old kid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for why he kept it a secret, that was a mystery none of the mere mortals in the office could claim to understand.
Maybe he just wasn’t into it. But why did he show favor in Marguerite?
Not only did she have the scions of two major corporations vouching for her, but she also got Frederick, the
dreamboat of every female’s fantasy, to willingly hand over the assistant’s spot to her!
Who on Earth was Marguerite?
In the blink of an eye, the office was abuzz with speculation about her true identity.
Meanwhile, Miley was overjoyed!
The fact that Frederick had even deigned to accompany them on their visit to Marguerite was surprising. She had
never imagined that he would actually speak up for Marguerite!
She knew it! Frederick had once adored Marguerite; he wouldn’t stand to see her bullied like this!
Miley, unable to contain herself, chimed in enthusiastically, “Absolutely! Ever since Mr. Winston joined Poppy Petal
Fragrances, he and Marguerite had been working on the new blush line together!”
Yuna, green with envy, could not bear the thought of that wretch Marguerite working side by side with her beloved
Freddie. An assistant meant sharing an office, and what if old flames were rekindled?
Out of desperation, Yuna blurted out, “Marguerite is such a klutz, how could she possibly be a good assistant?
Freddie, I can help too!”
Frederick scoffed disdainfully, finally deigning to glance at her with a look of mockery and disdain, “What can you
do?”
Truth be told, he was just a last-minute addition by Robert; he had no idea about the spat between Marguerite and
Yuna, nor did he intend to play the knight in shining armor for Marguerite. But inexplicably, he found himself
instinctively protecting her.
His retort left Yuna speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knew Yuna was all about high society’s trivialities-luxury cars, designer watches-but when it came to work, she
probably couldn’t even make heads or tails of the simplest schedule!
Yuna stood there, unable to utter a word.
Frederick withdrew his gaze, signaled Robert with a nod, and then, in a bold move, grasped Marguerite’s wrist and
led her out of the office, leaving everyone watching, dumbstruck.
Miley, pleased with the day’s events, gleefully took Robert’s arm and followed suit.
The office was left in stunned silence once more.
Suddenly, one of the employees had an epiphany, muttering incessantly as if piecing together a juicy piece of
gossip, “Marguerite and Yuna… they look identical… Marguerite… Yuna… Oh my gosh! Could they be twins from
those rumors?”
Curiosity piqued, the others pressed for more, not even caring that Yuna was still within earshot,
“What rumors?”
