My Wife Is A Masquerade Master

Chapter 3

Madison tried hard to restrain her anger, turned around, and smiled at Alison. “Miss Conner, long time no see.”

Alison approached gracefully and said, “Miss Guzman, you don’t seem to be doing well. Even a dog can get through this. door. Three years of marriage to Neville, why can’t you manage the same?”

Madison smiled. “Can’t argue. Some people do lack manners”

Alison could sense that Madison was indirectly insulting her and replied, “Surprising, Miss Guzman. Three years and you’ve lost your elegance.”

Madison retorted. “And you, not as decent as before. Still trying to seduce him even knowing Neville’s a married man.”

Alison remained unfazed and held up the thermos, saying, “Neville has been busy since yesterday. He probably hasn’t eaten. I specially made a meal for him. If you have something to discuss with him, maybe after his lunch.”

Alison was boasting about her intimacy with Neville.

Madison gave her a cold glance and said with a half–smile, “Alison, I pity you. I had you pegged as competent, but after three years of waiting, you can only do such coarse work to please him.”

Alison’s face turned slightly grim. “It’s all because you took my place!” she roared..

“Well, if Neville really wanted to marry you, why make you wait for three years?”

Madison’s words pierced through Alison’s heart like a cold knife, making her stagger.

Worried that she might reveal a hint of embarrassment when facing Neville, something she definitely couldn’t let Alison see, Madison said, I’ll bring in your meal. You can go back, Miss Conner.”

Madison took a deep breath and pushed open the office door.

Inside, Neville was discussing something with Bernard Peay, his assistant.

Neville was dignified, handsome, and diplomatic, and many noble women in Norxton coveted him.

But little did anyone know that behind his charm hid a rather cold heart. Even his eyes exuded a perpetual aura of aggression and sharpness, causing undue fear in others.
