Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 795

At 10 a.m., in her downtown apartment, Marguerite woke up feeling as if a train had run over her during the night.

Her head was pounding, and despite the early summer heat beginning to fill her room, she shivered uncontrollably.

It took her a moment to realize that she had fallen asleep with the air conditioning blasting directly at her forehead all night.

Great, she thought, another fever.

Marguerite felt the room spin as she tried to get up, but her legs wouldn't hold her, and she collapsed back onto the bed. With no other option, she lay down for a moment longer before she picked up her phone to call Chuck, asking him to take over at Poppy Petal Fragrances for the day.

Today was the grand relaunch of Polar Radiance, a day filled with important meetings that couldn't proceed without a leader at the helm. Chuck agreed without hesitation, but Marguerite couldn't put her phone down even after the call ended.
