Chapter 21 He Saw Her Face!
Shawne Cole was Halsey’s close friend. Hasley had come to check on how he was doing and did not expect to witness this scene. He immediately walked over.
The mask had fallen off. Margot was shocked and quickly bent down to pick it up. She could not care less what had hit her and was relieved after putting the mask back. Just then, Halsey’s figure approached.
She was so frightened that she almost screamed out loud. Oh no! Did he see my face without the mask? What should I do if he did? She panicked.
She breathed nervously and looked at Halsey, only to see his calm expression. His handsome face showed no changes, and the heart in her throat finally eased. He didn’t notice. Otherwise, he would have questioned me.
Margot secretly heaved a sigh of relief and looked toward the room. At this moment, Halsey said, “You seem afraid of me. If I’m not misken, this is the first time we’ve met.
By then, Margot had calmed her emotions and replied, “You walked over silently. Anyone else would be startled*
“Is that so?” Halsey sounded indifferent as he took a step closer. “Miss Magnolia, why did you reject my proposal? You haven’t shown up for five years, and now that you appeared, surely it’s to let more people know about your fragrances. You can achieve your goal much faster if you collaborate with me.”
Margot responded coldly. T’m not available right now. Please discuss the collaboration with my assistant. With that, she walked straight into the room.
Halsey, however, grabbed her slender wrist and said, “Don’t go.”
Margot turned her head around and her eyes were cold behind the golden butterfly mask. “Let go,‘ she said.
Halsey released her wrist, somewhat dazed. This woman felt so familiar to him, like an imprint on his subconscious. “Sorry.” he said calmly
Margot ignored him and proceeded to check on Howard’s grandson. The room was pitch black. When she first entered, she could not see anything clearly, but after a while, her eyes adjusted, and she could make out the faint outlines of objects.
“Get out.” A raspy voice broke the silence.
Margot said. “Howard said your insomnia is pretty bad now. I can make you sleep. Do you want to try?”
“Get out” However, the man repeated the same two words. Instead of leaving, Margot opened her handbag, took out a perfume bottle, and sprayed it a few times around the room. After spraying, she quickly stepped back and closed the door.
Halsey observed her every move. He saw her swiftly cap the perfume bottle and put it back into her bag, and she seemed to hold her breath the entire time. “What is that?” he asked.
Margot replied, “My newly developed fragrance, with an increased dosage. It’s effective for severe cases.”
A spark of interest lit up Halsey’s charming eyes. “Miss Magnolia, name your price. I want this fragrance,” he said directly. Margot glanced at him, her beautiful red lips curled up slightly. “As I said, discuss the collaboration with my assistant.” You want the fragrance? Okay! Let’s see how I can trick you! After about ten minutes, Margot reopened the door and entered the room. This time, no one stopped her. She walked to the window and pulled open the curtains, letting light flood the room. She now could see the situation in the room clearly.
Aman who had fallen into a deep sleep lay on the bed. His complexion was pale from years without sunlight, and his face was thin yet strikingly handsome.
Seeing this, the servant by the side gasped, covering her mouth to stille a scream, and said, “Miss Magnolia, you’re really amazing. You really make Mr. Cole fall asleep!”
