Chapter 170
Bride Behind The Mask
Surse Plaza won nestled within Sunrise Heights. The first five floors were filled with various shops, and the floors above were dedicated to office.
This is why there were two elevators, each serving a different purpose The one Marguents and Miley took led to the shopping area, while the one Robert entered didnât even have options for the first five floors. Its buttons started at six The two women had agreed to meet at a chowder house on the fifth floor This restaurant was a culinary landmark of the Sunrise District, famous for its exceptionally fresh fish chowder Because the restaurant was so popular online, it was always crowded with customers.
Miley had reserved a window seat in advance. As they settled down and browsed the menu, they didnât notice that not far away, in a glass booth, Frederick was sitting At this moment, Frederickâs phone buzzed abruptly. After answering, his voice was low and captivating.
âYesâ
âGood day, Mr. Winston. I am the owner of Majestic Memories. I called Ms. Lockwood earlier to inform her that her photos were ready for collection, but she didnât pick up, so I thought Iâd contact you.â
Frederick glanced at the time, guessing that Yuna must be on her way and didnât hear the call.
âIl send someone to pick them up.â
After hanging up, Frederick immediately dialed Robertâs number Before he could say anything, he heard panting on the other end.
He hesitated.
Was this a bad time to call?
âAre you⦠with a woman?â
âWhat womanâ Iâm climbing the stairs!â
Robert was slightly annoyed. If he hadnât been in such a hurry when he got into the elevator, he wouldnât have taken the wrong one.
It wasnât until the elevator reached the eighth floor that he realized his mistake.
Having no other choice, he had to take the stairs down.
âWhatâs up?â
âPick something up for me. Iâll text you the addressâ
Upon hearing this, Robert almost collapsed in the dimly lit stairwell âFrederick, give me a break Canât you ask Chuck? I have plans today! With Smiley.â
Fredenckâs eyes widened, full of caution.
Smiley?
The woman Investigating him!
He made a quick decision, âWhere are you meeting her?â
âAt Sunrise Plaza!â
Frederick surprised What a coincidence Fredenck smirked. âPerfect, Iâm having dinner here. Get my stuff and bring her to meâ
With that, he hung up the phone with authority Frederick was eager to see who this woman investigating him was.
Robert on the other hand, was left furning at the sound of the dial tone. When he tried to call back, Frederick had already hung up.
Reluctantly, Robert had to accept the task.
After all, Frederick had something on him.
If Fredenck revealed his whereabouts to his father, his carefree days would probably be over After sending a message to Smiley about his delay, he left following Frederickâs instructions Meanwhile, at the chowder house.
Returning from the restroom, Miley was texting Robert while walking But when she looked up, she spotted a slender figure in high heels entering the restaurant She froze for a moment, then sprinted towards Marquente, positioning herself in front of her friend âWhereâs your mask? Go, go, go! Put it on Marguerite looked up at her, confused. âWhatâs wrong?â
Put it on first, then Iâll explain!â Miley insisted, out of breath.
Marguente, still puzzled, quickly put on her mask and frowned. âWhatâs going on?â
Miley turned around, scanned the room, and finally fixed her gaze on the isolated booth. She pointed, âLook whoâs there!â
Following Mileyâs direction, Marguerite saw Yuna elegantly seated across the thick glass window.
