Chuck's hand paused mid-air as he was about to take a sip of his water.
Just the thought of Mr. Winston was enough to dampen even Chuck's usually carefree spirit.
He set down his coffee mug, his tone turning earnest.
"| just got off the phone with a couple of my contacts in the trading circles, people who've had dealings with
Silas. They all say he handles business strikingly similar to Mr. Winston.
Decisive and bold, yet his methods are even more ruthless, not as hesitant as Mr. Winston could sometimes be.
It's just, Mr. Winston was too loyal, too sentimental. Made sbad deals out of friendship.
But Silas seems to lack that kind of emotional attachment, making his decisions all the more cutthroat. To use an
imperfect analogy, it's like Silas is an upgraded version of Mr. Winston."
It was rare for Chuck to praise someone like this.
In his eyes, Frederick was always the ultimate man.
But his lavish praise today proved just how impressive Silas truly was.
This revelation somewhat surprised Marguerite.
Yet, every mention of Silas brought her back to the events of the morning, leaving her feeling suffocated with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtregret.
She stubbornly believed it was her near betrayal of Frederick that made thoughts of Silas so painful.
Shaking herself out of these thoughts, she forced her focus back to work to dull the ache, not allowing her mind
to wander.
Regaining her composure, she turned to Chuck.
"Speaking of which, helpfind an apartment to rent. Let Hayes and Manley look after it for a few days."
At the mention of Hayes and Manley, Chuck couldn't help but press his hands against his forehead, a look of
exasperation crossing his face.
Those two were a handful!
Hayes was manageable, but Manley was a real troublemaker, always wanting to buy everything in sight, making
Chuck's wallet weep.
Chuck's face twisted in discomfort, "Marguerite, wouldn't Miley be better suited for childcare than me?"
Marguerite rolled her eyes at him.
"Did you forget she's on her honeymoon with Robert Fitzgerald? I'm just asking
you to help with the school run. Jocelyn will handle their daily needs.
| need to focus on the Polar Radiance project, don't distract me."
Chuck sighed, "It's been a long road, Polar Radiance was developed years ago, and only now it's ready to
launch."
Marguerite's eyes narrowed slightly, "Maybe we should change the name?"
"What?"
Marguerite pondered for a moment, then tentatively looked at Chuck, "How about ‘Longing perfume'?"
She was so eager to reboot the Polar Radiance project as a tribute to her love with Frederick.
It was the perfect name, wasn't it?
However, Chuck's expression soured as if he had swallowed a fly, clearly at a loss
for words over Marguerite's suggested rename.
"Marguerite... maybe we keep the original name, your suggestion is a bit... quaint."
Marguerite's gaze fixed on him, unblinking, silent.
Chuck swallowed hard, seeing her mood darken by the second, he quickly shifted the topic:
"It's your call, of course. But about the apartment, which area were you considering?"
Chuck, already looking down, whipped out his smartphone to start browsing rental listings.
"Somewhere close to the office."
Chuck's eyes flickered as if a thought struck him, mumbling to himself:
"I remember Silas living near Poppy Petal Fragrances, in that villa area to the
east. Why not consider moving there? It's close to your business dealings with him, would make cooperation
smoother."
