Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 170

Sunrise Plaza was nestled within Sunrise Heights. The first five floors were filled with various shops, and the floors above were dedicated to offices.

This is why there were two elevators, each serving a different purpose.

The one Marguerite and Miley took led to the shopping area, while the one Robert entered didn't even have options for the first five floors. Its buttons started at six.

The two women had agreed to meet at a chowder house on the fifth floor. This restaurant was a culinary landmark of the Sunrise District, famous for its exceptionally fresh fish chowder.

Because the restaurant was so popular online, it was always crowded with customers.

Miley had reserved a window seat in advance. As they settled down and browsed the menu, they didn't notice that not far away, in a glass booth, Frederick was sitting.

At this moment, Frederick's phone buzzed abruptly. After answering, his voice was low and captivating, "Yes?"

"Good day, Mr. Winston. I am the owner of Majestic Memories. I called Ms. Lockwood earlier to inform her that her photos were ready for collection, but she didn't pick up, so I thought I'd contact you."

Frederick glanced at the time, guessing that Yuna must be on her way and didn't hear the call.

"I'll send someone to pick them up."

After hanging up, Frederick immediately dialed Robert's number. Before he could say anything, he heard panting on the other end.

He hesitated.

Was this a bad time to call?

"Are you... with a woman?"

"What woman! I'm climbing the stairs!"

Robert was slightly annoyed. If he hadn't been in such a hurry when he got into the elevator, he wouldn't have taken the wrong one.

It wasn't until the elevator reached the eighth floor that he realized his mistake.

Having no other choice, he had to take the stairs down.

"What's up?"

"Pick something up for me. I'll text you the address."

Upon hearing this, Robert almost collapsed in the dimly lit stairwell.

"Frederick, give me a break. Can't you ask Chuck? I have plans today! With Smiley."

Frederick's eyes widened, full of caution.

After sending a message to Smiley about his delay, he left following Frederick's instructions.

Meanwhile, at the chowder house.

Returning from the restroom, Miley was texting Robert while walking.

But when she looked up, she spotted a slender figure in high heels entering the restaurant.

She froze for a moment, then sprinted towards Marguerite, positioning herself in front of her friend. "Where's your mask? Go, go, go! Put it on!"

Marguerite looked up at her, confused. "What's wrong?"

"Put it on first, then I'll explain!" Miley insisted, out of breath.

Marguerite, still puzzled, quickly put on her mask and frowned. "What's going on?"

Miley turned around, scanned the room, and finally fixed her gaze on the isolated booth. She pointed, "Look who's there!"

Following Miley's direction, Marguerite saw Yuna elegantly seated across the thick glass window.

Opposite Yuna was a man of great dignity, staring straight at her with piercing eyes.
