The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 98

"Alright." Stefan nodded, accepting Nina's offer.

Having a ready-made space for his alchemy saved considerable trouble.

Nina led him away, her eyes stealing a glance at him as they walked.

Ever since Claire Company abruptly terminated its contract, Snowy Intentions Advertising Agency had suffered a heavy blow.

Yet Margery was not one to be easily defeated. Resilience was woven into her character. Through relentless effort, she had secured a few new projects, throwing herself into work day and night.

Perhaps staying busy was the only way to keep thoughts of Stefan at bay—a temporary, desperate remedy.

A growing commotion outside her office broke her concentration.

She frowned, irritation flickering across her features. Before she could investigate, Nanette knocked and entered.

"Ms. Easterlin, it's Fidel. He's insisting on seeing you and making quite a scene. We can't calm him down." Nanette looked uneasy.

Margery had given clear instructions: if Fidel came, she was either unavailable or not to be admitted.

He had visited several times before, each time turned away with polite excuses.

Today, however, he refused to leave, claiming he had seen Margery arrive and demanding to speak with her.

Unable to stop him, she had to come in and report to Margery.

Margery couldn't help but frown.

She had made it clear to him that unless it was absolutely necessary, he shouldn't contact her, let alone meet in person. Why was he still making a scene?

Listening to the rising voices outside, Margery sighed, "Let him in."

Nanette nodded and retreated.

What is he playing at?
