Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chatper 537

Chapter 537

Meanwhile, back in Frederick’s corner office, all four had barely settled when Frederick noticed an additional desk

placed right beside his usually solitary workspace.

Marguerite stared at it, her mind suddenly catapulting back three years.

Back then, when she first met Frederick, the stubborn man suspected her of having ulterior motives and had her

desk placed right beside his own.

In hindsight, those months they spent working under his watchful eye were among the happiest times she had

experienced in three years.

Now, it seemed history was repeating itself, and a small spark of hope for the future flickered within Marguerite.

But Frederick seemed taken aback, his gaze flitting from Marguerite’s desk to Robert in confusion.

“Care to explain?” he asked.

Robert and Miley were nestled together, radiating the bliss of love.

With a smile that hinted at deeper meanings, Robert said, “What’s there to explain? You see it, don’t you? From now

on, Marguerite will share this office with you!”

Frederick’s brows knitted in displeasure. “I only agreed to help you out this one time. I didn’t agree to anything else,

so don’t push your luck!”

Marguerite was puzzled. Hadn’t he just personally offered her the position as his executive assistant? Why the

sudden change of heart?

However, she quickly caught on. If Frederick was here at Robert’s behest, then all the actions taken, all words

spoken, must have been prearranged.

So, he wasn’t sincerely intending to keep her by his side.

Meanwhile, Robert was clearly confused, “What are you playing at, Frederick? Sure, I asked for your help to make a

statement, but I didn’t expect you to make promises to Marguerite willy-nilly! You just said in front of everyone that

she would be your executive assistant. You wouldn’t really make her sweep the streets, would you? I’m not worried.

I’m thick-skinned, but aren’t you worried about going back on your word?”

Frederick fell silent. He had never wanted to get involved, preferring to remain an observer.

But Marguerite’s forlorn expression had tugged at his heartstrings, and more importantly, he found Miley and

Robert’s harsh words to Yuna excessive.

To him, ensuring Marguerite’s safety was paramount; the harsh words and public face-slapping were unnecessary.

That’s why, at the critical moment, he had publicly promised her a position, just to get her out of there quickly.

Little did he know that Robert had anticipated his promise and even set up a desk in advance.

Once again, Frederick realized he’d fallen into a trap designed by the lovebirds before him.

He reluctantly accepted his fate; after all, he couldn’t be a boss who didn’t keep his word in the eyes of his

employees.

Convincing himself this was the right move, he turned to Miley, remembering her relationship with Marguerite in the

company, and couldn’t help but ask, “If Marguerite is the executive assistant, what does that make you?”

With a playful grin, Miley quickly ran behind Marguerite and cooed, “Hehe, I’m the assistant to the executive

assistant!”

Frederick was both amused and bemused. “Can assistants have their own assistants?”
