Chapter 854

Maurice had a habit of showing up at the office for no apparent reason- something Marguerite had long grown used to.

She kept her head down, quietly sipping her tea, when his voice drifted over her from behind. “Everything ready for tomorrow's launch?"

She didn't bother looking up. "Tomorrow isn't just the launch for Polar Radiance. It's also Silas and Violet's wedding, remember?"

"If you want to go to the wedding, just say so. We can always reschedule the launch event."

Marguerite let out a cold, sarcastic laugh.
