Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 796

Maggie's eyes widened in shock.

The underlying message from Alex, could it possibly mean he was planning to bring her some medicine?

Instinctively, Maggie wanted to decline, but then it dawned on her.

It was the middle of a workday, and someone of Alex's stature must be swamped with work.

With so many people under him, he would probably send an assistant or a secretary, right?

After pondering for a moment, Maggie succinctly replied: "Either way works."

She felt more alert now, realizing that even though they were business partners, she probably didn't have the right to have his assistant deliver things to her.

Thus, she added: "Sorry, my mistake. Please don't mind it."

That should be sufficiently polite, right?

But to her surprise, he simply bypassed her explanation, saying: "It's not about 'either way works.' You can't just take any medicine; different symptoms require different treatments."

Maggie was truly at a loss. She had already declined politely, yet this man was not willing to let it go.

Fearing he might actually send someone, she kept mum about her symptoms, only replying with a: "Okay."
