Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1265

Soon after Maggie got out, she realized that she shouldn't have made that promise just now. She noticed William winking at her repeatedly. After mulling it over for a while she concluded that it must have been Edgar's trap.

"What are you thinking about?"

Maggie did not realize that Edgar was standing in front of her, as he spoke not in his usual tone, but in a soft and low voice.

Maggie's hair had covered her face as she looked down at her toes, scratching her foot on the ground from time to time. Without a conscious thought, she answered, "I was just wondering if... Edgar had anything to do with what happened today." Right after she said that she raised her head and her eyes met with Edgar's deep, captivating eyes. Startled, with her jaw dropped to the floor, she had forgotten how to shut her mouth which remained open.

"Do you think I set a trap for you?"

Edgar asked, "Are you disrespecting your superior again?"

Maggie gasped, almost immediately covering her mouth with her hands. Ever since she came to the army, she had been punished many times and she had had enough. "No! Who said that?"

Feigning astonishment and outrage, she blinked rapidly, whipping her head about. "Captain, who would dare to say such a thing? Whoever it was, they need to be punished accordingly for passing such false comments about the captain."

Edgar was amused by the way Maggie changed her face even more faster than the weather did in March. He chuckled and said, "I will see you at the gate in half an hour."

As soon as he said that, he narrowed his eyes and leered at her as he walked around her to his office upstairs.

Maggie sighed in exasperation, mumbling to herself in frustration. She glanced at the meeting room and turned around to walk back to the lounge. The only three people present in the lounge were actually waiting for her. When they saw her come in, they surrounded her.

"Maggie, did you make another mistake?"

Jake took pleasure in her misfortune.

Edith pushed him aside and said, "How many kilometers will you have to run this time?"

"You are all so evil and heartless and... How could you guys be enjoying this? Do you even deserve to be my friends?"

Garth rolled his eyes at her, completely disregarding her concern and said, "Is your holiday cancelled?"

"I can't believe that you guys are my best friends." Maggie shook her head, feeling too disconcerted to say anything and then nodded. "But Garth's right.

My holiday is cancelled."

"..." They were just joking and pulling her leg. When they heard that it was true, they looked at Maggie in utter shock.

Maggie shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, I hope you guys have a good time. Don't forget to miss me when you're having fun in the beach. Alas!"

"Oh, Maggie! That sucks. Don't worry. We will miss you... Every time I eat something delicious, I'll think of you."

Maggie pouted her lips as if to show her disappointment, while in fact, she was happy. Nevertheless, she pretended to be angry to make them feel guilty. Soon, after bidding them farewell, she ran to the gate of Eagle.

Edgar wasn't there yet when she arrived. Out of sheer boredom, Maggie bit her nails and then laced her fingers together behind her head, relaxing. She wondered if she and Edgar alone would be enough to solve the problem in A City.
