The following day
Maiquote was in a drowsy slumber whe
received a call from the Regal Haven Hotel, notifying her to report for her new job
She was jolted awake by the news and it took her a moment to comprehend what was being said.
She was being asked to start work at the Regal Haven Hotel?
Just like that?
Only yesterday, she had been turned down by the manager, and now, merely a day later, they had changed their minds?
Was this what they called a stroke of luck?
Marguerite hastily got out of bed and freshened up After a quick breakfast, she made her way to the Regal Haven Hotel Why bother about his sudden change of heart? As long as she had a job, that was all that mattered!
Upon her amival, Hawk personally took care of her employment formalities.
His solicitous altitude and warm smile left Marguente stunned Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Hawk suddenly showed her so much care, and the entry process was too smooth!
She was unaware that, upon leaming Marguerite was friends with Chuck and acquainted with Frederick, the kingpin of Stonebridge City, Hawk wouldn’t dare be negligent
Marguerite, still in a daze, finished her induction and donned her black uniform to start her shift Just as she was heading to her workstation, she remembered she had left her ID with Hawk
In the lobby, she spotted Hawk chatting with Chuck behind a potted plant while they smoked
Even Marguerite, who wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, would know her smooth sailing at work was all thanks to Chuck’s help
Hawk left without saying a word, and Marguente approached Chuck with a grateful smile, “Thank you, Chuck
Chuck promptly discarded his cigarette when he saw Marguente approaching
“What are you talking about, Marguente?”
“Come on, Chuck, don’t play dumb. You’re making me look like the fool here.”
Chuck scratched his head, the picture of innocence, while Marguerite noticed a small cut on his finger, unnoticed by him.
Growing up, Marguerite was always prone to scrapes and wounds, so she made it a habit to carry band aids. She handed him one, reminding him, “The weather in Stonebridge City is quite dry, and you’re always running errands for Frederick. Don’t forget to use hand cream.”
Chuck was confused, “What?”
Marguente pointed to his injury. “You’re hurt”
Chuck looked at his hand and only then realized he had a small wound.
But the tiny band–aid she offered stirred up a multitude of feelings.
The woman before him didn’t seem like someone who would betray Mr. Winston. She was considerate and strove to cater to everyone’s feelings.
How could such a considerate woman do such a deviant thing?
He didn’t want to see Marguente and Mr. Winston grow apart. With a sigh, he made one last attempt, “Marguerite, are you really not considering going back? If you apologize to Mr. Winston, he might let you move back in.”
Marguerite remained calm, her emotions in check.
“Chuck, like you said before, no matter what, the baby in my stomach isn’t his So what’s the point of going back? To make him feel uncomfortable? It’s time we said our goodbyes”
“Isn’t there a chance for negotiation?”
Marguerite smiled, choosing to ignore his question. “Chuck, thanks for helping me get a job. Although I’m not capable of much, if you ever need my help. I’m here Goodbye”
Without waiting for Chuck’s response, she calmly turned and walked away
Her slim figure, shrouded in cold aloofness, was a poignant sight to behold.
