Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Capabilities

“Is Ms. Adam a local?” One of William’s friends was the first to speak, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Maggie.

Maggic responded with a smile, not pretending to be someone she isn’t.

In no time, she became acquainted with several people, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

The singing and dancing on the stage were particularly exhilarating. William poured another glass of wine for Maggie with a smile. “Ms. Adam. did yo

come here just to make friends?”

Maggie smiled as she looked at the man in front of her.

To be fair, William was attractive, though not as refined and elegant as Nathael. Nonetheless, he had a charm of his own, not to be dismissed.

What set him apart was that William had a pair of tired eyes, probably due to his indulgence in wine and women. There were two patches of greenish–gray under his eyes, making him seem drained from the inside out, floating and powerless, as if he was missing something.

“As expected. I can’t hide anything from you. Besides wanting to befriend you, I’m also here for the Herschire Cultural Park project.*

Maggie got straight to the point. After another glass of wine, her stomach was burning, and the hot sensation almost instantly rushed to her cheeks, making her fair skin slightly flushed.

William suddenly clapped his hands, his large hand resting on Maggie’s shoulder. “I appreciate your straightforwardness!”

Maggie smiled and said, “I know many people are competing for the Herschire Cultural Park project, but I believe that as long as you speak up, the Camerons will surely win.”

William nodded and poured another glass for Maggie. “I raise my glass to Ms. Adam.”

He didn’t continue the conversation, and Maggie wasn’t in a hurry either.

After all, even though William might not have a formidable strategy or means, he was born into a wealthy family. They weren’t foolish. On the contrary, they were smarter and more astute than ordinary people.

Maggie slowly drank her glass of wine, and the men and women around her immediately applauded.

Only then did William speak, his lustful eyes falling on Maggie, looking her up and down. “This matter is not difficult, but what can you offer me?”

“What do you want?” Maggie pretended not to understand, her almond–colored eyes smiling.

William’s fingers landed on her shooth shoulder, gently rubbing it a few times, then he changed the subject with a smile. “How about/we find another place to talk?”

Maggie smiled. “Mr. Hansley, do you have feelings for me?”

Probably not expecting her straightforwardness, William was stunned for a few seconds, then smirked. “I

“I’ll raise my glass to Mr. Hansley again. Maggie poured a full glass for William.

Pervert, trying to get me drunk?

Don’t expect to get away with it.

William looked at Maggie, raised his glass and took a few sips, but didn’t drink much.

“What do you think?”

Maggie’s lips were bright red, her beautiful eyes sparkling, reflecting the dazzling lights of the nightclub, making her look like a captivating fairy.

William was restless and somewhat unable to restrain himself.

But after all, he was used to being flattered by women, so he wasn’t as eager as a naive young boy who had never seen the world.
