Chapter 275
Bride Behind The Mask
Marguente stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her cheeks pulled in thought Her? Did it matter if she liked it or not?
She and Yuna were on different wavelengths, her advice would have no relevance to Frederick.
So, it shouldnât hurt to say it.
Marquente swallowed her coffee, slowly saying, âI donât like public surprises, theyâre awkward and embarrassing Everyone staring at me gives me goosebumps For me, the happiest surprise is between just two people. As long as he can make me feel loved, thatâs enough. Oh, and flowers. I love flowers.â
As soon as the words left her mouth, Marguerite realized she might have overstepped All he asked was if she liked it, and she not only answered but provided a detailed plan That was presumptuous, Frederick wasnât proposing to her Flushing, Marguente quickly focused on her lood to hide her embarrassment, unaware of the man beside her revealing a triumphant smirk. She was easy to please, he had intended to make a grand gesture, but she had no such expectations.
He was the CEO of a perfume company, what kind of flowers couldnât he get?
After their meal, they went their separate ways Marguente was driven to the funeral home, while Frederick headed to his office.
In the Cullinan.
Chuck sat in the passenger seat, mulling over the momingâs events.
Mr. Winston making breakfast and discussing confessions, was he going toâ¦
Gossip was Chuckâs forte, and his round face lit up with a grin, âMr. Winston, are you⦠planning to confess your feelings to Marguerite?â Frederick on the leather seat crossed his legs, glancing at Chuck.
He hadnât intended to let Chuck in on the plan, but he needed Chuck to assist with the event. There was no need to hide it.
So, Frederick turned his face, nodding. âYesâ
He admitted it? Mr Winston admitted it?!
This was exciting news; he wished he could share it with Mr. Fitzgerald right away!
He and Robert had put in a lot of effort to bring Mr. Winston and Marguerite together.
Now that Mr. Winston was finally making a move, he was more eager than the man himself.
However, Frederick saw through Chuckâs thoughts, warning him, âDonât tell anyone.â
Chuck nodded rapidly, miming a zip over his lips, finally giving an âokâ sign, looking rather comical.
Frederick looked out the window, pleased, and after a moment of silence, asked, âWhen would be a good time for me to do it?â
Chuck thought for a moment, suggesting. âMr Winston, perhaps after the old ladyâs funeral?â
Frederick locked at him, âAfter the funeral? Thatâs inappropriate.â
Chuck explained, âThe funeral would mean a final goodbye for Marguerite. She would be vulnerable and need company. If you tell her your feelings then, it would comfort her Moreover, it would bring some joy after the ladyâs departure.â
Frederick nodded, seeming to take Chuckâs words into consideration.
âWhat time is it now?â
Chuck checked quickly, responding with respect, âAlmost half past seven âHalf past seven. Frederick mused, âThe flower market should be openâ
âMr. Winston, are you suggesting we prepare now?â
âYes.
âBut Mr. Winston, you have an international conference at half past eightâ
âLet Robert handle it.â
âUnderstood Upon receiving the order, the Cullinan swiftly changed lanes, made a sharp turn at the intersection, and sped towards Stonebridge City s top flower market with Frederick.
