The Fragrance Queen's Final Note novel Chapter 30

"Mr. Zimmer, hold onto something, because I've got another piece of catastrophic news for you..."

Miles figured the family blood feud was just the appetizer. The real gut punch was the fact that Queenie was completely off the market.

That was the true nightmare.

"What's the catastrophic news?" Jocelyn chimed in, practically leaning over to eavesdrop. She had been thoroughly enjoying the drama.

She had pieced together the basics: her cousin was hooked on a woman, but said woman belonged to their sworn enemy's family.

Miles checked his boss's expression. Seeing that Stanley had somewhat processed the first blow, he opened his mouth to deliver the final strike.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Queenie approaching them, her arm looped through another man's.

Stanley's actual title was the CEO of Aurélle, but because he rarely made public appearances, very few people knew his face.

Zander was one of them.

Zander's Evermore Group dominated the financial sector, whereas Aurélle ruled the luxury fashion world.

Their paths simply didn't cross in business.

However, someone had just tipped Zander off that the CEO of Aurélle was in the room, strongly suggesting he go introduce himself, as it was the most lucrative networking connection of the night.

Naturally, Zander dragged Queenie over with him.

It wasn't until they were mere feet away that Queenie locked eyes with the chilling, pale gaze from the night before. She froze, finally recognizing Stanley.

But it was too late to run.

Her heart practically exploded in her chest.

What kind of cursed luck was this?!

It had literally been one day, and she was running into him again...

Would he recognize her? Would he expose what happened last night right here in front of half the city's elite?!

Queenie felt her brain short-circuiting into absolute panic.

Her long lashes dropped quickly, hiding the terror in her eyes as she actively avoided the man's intense stare.

"Good evening. Are you... Mr. Zimmer?"
