Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 646

Meanwhile, inside the Maybach.

The weather outside was abysmal, with snow swirling amidst a dense fog, reducing visibility to almost nothing. The driver, Hank, had no choice but to slow down to a crawl, cautiously navigating through the whiteout.

Next to him, a man held a tablet in one hand, seemingly engrossed in his work. The glow from the screen illuminated his striking features - chiseled, noble, and profound. He was distractingly handsome, and Maggie found herself sneaking glances at him, unable to help herself.

Had Frederick always been this kind-hearted?

Unable to contain her curiosity, Maggie turned to him and asked, "Are you serious about letting me work for your company?"

Her voice broke the silence, melodic and pleasing to the ear.

Frederick set down his tablet and met her gaze, but he didn't speak.

Maggie felt a shiver run down her spine under the intensity of his deep eyes. She blurted out, "Have you had a change of heart?"

His expression fell instantly.
