Bride Behind The Mask
Having re Ihat I from Hawk, Marguere quickly returned to the reception desk, determined to locate the guest information for room 1205 Upon her oyment, she had been given her own username and password for the front desk system. Thus, she had no difficulty accessing the questsâ registry The Ragal Haven Hotel had nearly a thousand rooms, and the number of guests who stayed there within a month was immense. As Marguente scanned the list of names on the screen, she felt overwhelmed.
Searching through this lensive list would take forever No way!
She needed to narrow it down, to sort by specific dates But, the couldnât for the life of her, recall the exact date of the fling She was stumped, her brows furrowed in deep concentration, her face etched with senousness What else happened after the oneânight stand? The casino, the mask, the mysterious person proposing a collaborationâ¦
The mysterious person? Collaboration?
Right The day after the oneânight stand, the mysterious person had sent her a text message about a potential treatment for her grandmother!
The text message had a date!
With a sudden realization, Marguerite felt a surge of relief. She immediately pulled out her phone, scrolled through her messages, searching for that particular one Reaching the end of her inbox, Marguente finally found the familiar text. The date displayed was April 28th.
So, the night of the oneânight stand was April 27th!
As she moved closer to the truth, Marguente felt a strange sense of anxiety. Her heart pounded in her chest, her breath held She put her phone down and began to narrow down the guest information to April 27th. As she was about to hit enter, her view was blocked by a looming shadow She knew, a guest had amived In an instinctive move, she hid the screen, stood up, and greeted the visitor with a professional smile, âHello, welcome to Regal Haven Hotelâ¦â
Her greeting was cut short as she froze, her eyes wide with shock.
She was taken aback by the manâs imposing figure, radiating an air of confidence and superiority Unlike his usual business attire, he was dressed casually in a white tracksuit, giving off a laidâback vibe.
His chestnut hair was slightly disheveled, but it added to his charm. He was incredibly attractive, his eyes, however, were a mix of indifference and contempt Frederick?
Why was he here?
Marguerite was caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, but she had made up her mind to distance herself from Fredenck. She quickly masked her emotions, her professional smile reappeared, her voice laced with polite detachment.
âGood afternoon, sir. Welcome to Regal Haven Hotel.â
Frederickâs eyes slightly narrowed, his expression was cold and stern, causing Margueriteâs heart to flutter This woman, she was good at pretending.
After all those days of separation, he didnât believe for a second that she was not flustered!
âSir? How may I assist you today? We have limited availability at the moment, with most of our guests yet to check out. We only have a few rooms left on the fifteenth and twentieth floors. If you have no specific requirements, I can arrange for you to stay in the Presidential Suite on the twentieth floor. It is wellâlit, and the view isâ¦
âMarguerite.â
Frederick finally spoke.
Marguerite abruptly stopped talking, her face fell She had been trying her best to distance herself from him, to pretend she didnât recognize him. But why wouldnât he let her? Why did he have to call her by her name?
Wasnât it better to pretend they were strangers?
Her nose ungled, and her eyes welled up.
Marguerite looked down, afraid to meet his gaze, worried that she might break down.
Then, his cold and husky voice echoed in Margueriteâs ears, âPack your things. Youâre coming home with meâ
