After the Divorce: From Heartbreak to Heiress Boss novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Excitement

The photographer's assistant looked utterly baffled, her face a mask of sheer disbelief.

Maurie had already approached Leah, grabbing her hand excitedly, his eyes almost shining with joy. "Leah... Is it really you? I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime. It's incredible running into you here!"

Due to his excitement, his grip tightened around Leah's hand, making her squirm uncomfortably.

After struggling for a while but unable to break free, she said with a hint of exasperation, "Could you maybe let go of me first, then we talk?"

Looking at his hand tightly gripping Leah's wrist, Maurie realized this behavior was inappropriate. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face as he quickly withdrew his hand and apologized to Leah, "I'm sorry, I got too excited and lost control for a moment. My hand just acted on its own..."

Leah waved it off and smiled warmly, "It's okay. We haven't seen each other much since high school. It's nice to see you again."

Maurie's eyes lit up even more. "Really? I thought you'd have forgotten me by now."

"Haha!" Leah chuckled, "You were the school's basketball prodigy back in those days. How could I forget someone such a prominent figure like that?"

Maurie touched the back of his head and looked at Leah, who was so close now. He then reminisced about the past, and a hint of youthful embarrassment crossed his face. "You're beautiful and talented in music, chess, writing, and painting. You even excelled in all subjects. You were the true star of our high school. What even was I compared to you?"

As he said that, he stared at Leah momentarily, adding, "After all these years, you still look as stunning as ever. No, even more so."

Leah smiled, "All these years later, and you're still as charming with words."
