But before Marguerite could delve deeper into her thoughts, Stella abruptly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, Freddie, Maurice found out I'm back in town and wants to meet up. He says he's got this new
tech that could be a game-changer for treating depression. What do you think? Should | take him up on his offer?
The paycheck he's dangling is pretty sweet."
New tech?
Marguerite's mind instantly went to the wafer technology. No need to guess- Maurice must have been turned
down by that hospital yesterday; otherwise, he wouldn't be approaching Stella for a partnership.
Yet, Marguerite found Maurice's approach puzzling. After all, both Frederick and Maurice hadn't secured the final
rights to the wafer tech. Why was he in such a rush to find partners? Wasn't he worried that Frederick might end
up with the tech? It was unlike Maurice to be this impulsive.

Meanwhile, Frederick took a sip of his Da Hong Pao tea, the droplets highlighting his lips, making them look fuller
and more vivid.
"Do you know what his new tech is about?"
Stella shook her head, a hint of bewilderment in her eyes. "That's just it; | don't, which is why | cto you for
insights!"
"Guess you'll know whether to partner up once he spills the beans," Frederick said with a confident smile, an air
of authority surrounding him.
"It's not sillegal tech, is it? You know me, Freddie. I'm all about the money. If the price is right, who knows? |
might just say yes."
Stella's eyes twinkled with a hint of mischief.
Frederick, however, set his teacup down and stood up, not mincing his words:
"If that's the case, you'd disappoint Robert."
Mentioning Robert deflated Stella instantly.
As Frederick left without another word, Marguerite and Violet quickly followed.
Stella didn't cto see them off, her face propped by her hands, lost in thought. Was this the way Frederick
and Stella interacted?
But to Marguerite, this was a sign of true friendship-informal, no hard feelings, like her and Miley. It comforted
her, especially after being turned down by Frederick the night before. Her mood lifted at the thought, her steps
becoming lighter.
But her spirits hadn't been high for long when she spotted a familiar figure approaching.

And the woman beside him, if not Daphne, who else could it be?
Maurice was already here?
Neither expected this encounter, and Daphne, upon seeing Marguerite, immediately clung to Maurice's arm, as if
staking her claim.
Maurice, however, silently withdrew his arm, his gaze briefly meeting Frederick's before resting on Marguerite.
Marguerite figured Maurice didn't know she had already met Daphne. But she wanted to keep it under wraps and
quickly turned to Violet, "Get the car from the parking lot."
"Okay."
Once Violet left, Maurice approached Marguerite, seizing her arm and demanding, "Shouldn't you be at work
right now? Chwith me!"
