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.

Everything was already set in stone; even if she wanted to change the date, it was far too late now.

Maurice always acted two-faced, loving nothing more than pointing out the obvious after the fact.

She had to hand it to him-he was consistent.

Finally, she raised her head and met his gaze. "I hope you'll keep your promise." "Sorry, what promise?"

"After Silas and Violet get married, you'll move out of the apartment. And take your bodyguards and spies with you. I want all of them out of my house."

Maurice crouched down in front of her, bringing himself to her eye level. For a fleeting moment, Marguerite caught a rare softness in his eyes.
