Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1277

Maggie turned around looking for the person who had just called out her name, it was Tompson Lin. As their eyes met, they looked each other up and down, from head to toe, each forming completely different opinions of each other.

Maggie was very angry to see her nemesis, while Tompson was excited to see his childhood friend.

"Maggie, it's been a long time. It's good to see you, but you still look exactly the same," Tompson smiled. "You still look like a kid, refusing to grow up. I still remember you pretending to be a middle-school student five years ago. Now, you are pretending that you're a high-school student. You are, so to speak, a major now. Could you please be mature? Shame on you."

Look at him, the devil! He was born to humiliate her!

Maggie was already angry because of what Edgar and his friend, Claire, had said about her earlier on. Now she was being humiliated by Tompson as well! Maggie was so furious that she felt like spoiling for a fight, to work off her anger.

Seeing her reaction, Tompson couldn't help laughing and he chided, "Maggie, you are so childish. Calm down. Take a look at your epaulet and then at mine."

Maggie was so furious that she didn't think of either them being in the military area or them being ranking officers. At Tompson's suggestion she finally glanced at his epaulet. Much to her surprise, Tompson was a lieutenant colonel!

"Maggie, technically, you should salute and call me sir. Don't you know the rules?" Tompson smirked.

"Oh my god! Tompson, do you really think that you look like a lieutenant colonel?" Maggie gnashed her teeth in anger. Cooling down a little bit, she stared at him asking, "Why are you here? And… How did you become an army medical corps officer?"

Tompson shrugged then answered confidently, "Well, I graduated from Military Medical University. If I am not supposed to be here, then where should I be?" He continued after a pause, "Well, I know that you graduated from the National Defense University, but don't you dare underestimate me, do you understand? Besides, I am three years older than you. So it's quite acceptable for me to be your senior, okay?"

Maggie sneered, then she responded scornfully, "Don't tell me that you still bear a secret love for me." She continued taunting, "Tompson, how can you still be so stubborn? Do you love me so much that you, knowing my information, even joined S Army because of me?"

Tompson sighed helplessly. Then shaking his head, he said, "You are wrong about two things. First, it's not a secret, okay? Everyone knows that I have a crush on you. Second, I was here before you were here. So do you know what it means? It means that it is you who has come here for me, not me who came here for you!"

Maggie was speechless. How could he be so self-conceited and thick-skinned? She scoffed at him angrily. 'You are no better than me, okay? You're still the same arrogant bastard as before!' Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes, and taunted, "Tompson, you are, after all, almost thirty years old. So don't be so childish to argue with me, okay?" Maggie then arched her eyebrows with a sense of pride.

Tompson was in a good mood, so he didn't stop her from taunting him. He knew that she had been admitted to the National Defense University and she had then worked as an intern with the Eagle Special Brigade in S Army, but he had never gone to visit her. Things had changed over the years. After all, change was an inevitable part of life, even though people at a young age would like to believe that they wouldn't change. As for how things had ended up, no one knew except for him.

"It's rare to see you here. So how about… How about a special date at the canteen tonight?" Tompson joked. 'There are rules in S Army. And even though he is a lieutenant colonel, he doesn't have the authority to arrange for favored treatment, ' she thought, but then she formed a brilliant plan to show him up.
