Chapter 342
Meanwhile, at LuxeScents International, Marguerite had just clocked in when she received a call from Maurice.
She stared at the caller ID in disbelief for a moment.
She had been enjoying the peace and quiet with Maurice gone for several days, but this call instantly furrowed her brow.
“What is it?”
“Come over to Fragrance Finesse.”
Maurice’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for Marguerite to negotiate.
But Marguerite was equally stubborn, refusing outright, “I’m busy.”
“Busy with what? LuxeScents International hasn’t had a client for several quarters, what could you possibly be busy with?”
Marguerite could hear the laughter in Maurice’s voice, which made her even more adverse, “What’s it to you? Mind your own business! Frederick’s return must have you on edge, right?”
This was how Marguerite and Maurice interacted, neither conceding to the other.
On the surface they appeared courteous and calm, but their conversations were filled with jabs at each other’s weak spots.
Unfazed, Maurice responded, “A potential client wants to collaborate with you, but they came to me first.”
Marguerite was taken aback, “Why would they come to you if they wanted to work with me?”
Maurice laughed, “Who in Stonebridge City doesn’t know that Marguerite is my wife? It would be improper to approach you directly, right?”

His smugness irked her! He really thought he was some kind of omnipotent CEO, didn’t he? He thought he looked cool with his rising inflection, huh?
His wife? She had never acknowledged that! If it wasn’t for Teresa needing a loving environment to grow up in, she would never have allowed the world to believe she and Maurice were a loving couple.
Marguerite hung up the phone without a word, and Maurice’s text message came through shortly after:
[You have ten minutes to get here. I presume you wouldn’t want your ex’s company to go bankrupt so soon.]
