Chapter 226
Bride Behind The Mask
What happened Margueriteâs reaction was even more frantic than Hannatiâs.
The PR team just came by and Mr. Winston took off with his car keys. Weâve been waiting and thereâs no sign of him. His celfâs off, Chuck even went to Sapphire Valley Estates to look for him, but no luckâ
Marguenteâs brain was spinning as she tried to think of where Frederick might be, âWhat about the Seaside Manor? Did anyone check there?â
âWe did! Heâs not there either! What should we do, Ms. Lockwood? Without Mr. Winston, the PR tearn is hesitant to act. The Internet is raging. everyone is demanding an explanation. The golden time of PR crisis management is 24 hours, if we miss this window, no matter what we say, Ti be useless!â
When it rains, it pours.
Frederick a man known for his decisiveness and ability to face challenges head on, had disappeared. It was clear that this crisis had hit him hard *Donât panic, consult with the PR firm on an executable plan, Iâll go find him. We need to act on both fronts, we canât afford to waste any time.â Hannah hung up in a hurry, leaving Marguerite at a loss of what to do next.
She was barely able to handle the Polar Radiance perfume project on her own, let alone manage a company-wide crisis. All she could do was try to stabilize the employeesâ morale, but she was helpless when it came to anything else.
The only thing she could do was to find Frederick But where could he be?
Marguerite suddenly realized that despite her love for him, she hardly knew him. She had been living with him for two months and yet, she had no idea where he might be.
What about a month from now?
After their divorce, if he didnât want to see her, she would never be able to find him.
Oddly enough, the more Marguerite thought about it, the more fearful she became.
She didnât know when she started to fear losing Frederick so much.
Marguerite shook her head in frustration, scolding herself for wallowing in sentimentality at such a critical time.
The company!
The company matters the most right now!
In her panic, Marguerite suddenly thought of Jocelyn.
She didnât understand him, but surely his mother would, right?
Marguerite quickly dialed Jocelynâs number, âJocelyn, Iâm sorry to bother you at this time. Frederickâs missing, everyone at the company is looking for him. Do you know where he might be?â
Jocelynâs voice was hoarse, âHeâs here with me. You should come over.â
Hearing this, Marguerite didnât have time to ponder whether Frederick was at Jocelynâs apartment or the Winston Mansion. She hung up burnedly. started the engine, and rushed toward the apartment.
Given the current situation, the Winston Mansion was a battlefield, there was no way Frederick would go back there Marguerite sped all the way and soon arrived at Jocelynâs apartment Jocelyn opened the door and Marguerite walked in without any greeting. She looked around but didnât see Fredenck âJocelyn, where is he?â
Jocelyn sighed and glanced at a tightly shut door, âin there. He came back and hasnât said a word, hasnât eaten anything either itâs driving me Only then did Marguerite notice the table full of delicious food, still steaming hot She took a plate and picked a few dishes, and then walked toward Frederickâs room. âIâll go check on him After saying this, Marguerite pushed the door open. The sun was setting, the dim light of the twilight was not enough to dominate the ualit nxen Freden was shing on the edge of the bed, back to Marguente, smoking a cigarette. His silhouette was debant, yet szemed wiedza KYA Marguerite walked quietly to his side, mudged this a gently, and comforted softly. âNo matter what happens, you stil have to eat rig mother is worried uskâ
