Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1293

"To be honest," the man who had talked to Edgar the night before broke the silence since he knew more about their relationship than anybody else. "I don't care if you act in your own interest, but I'm afraid that her father will kill you.

" Edgar sighed. "Wasn't it you who advised me to face my problems head on?" he mumbled in a discontented tone.

The man said sincerely, "Yes, I did say that, but— Wait a minute..." He stopped mid-sentence, as if something had just struck him. He asked excitedly, "Edgar, are you saying that you have straightened out your thoughts after last night and have finally decided to find a girlfriend?"

The man's question kicked awake the rest of the military officers on the intercom. Immediately, they started speaking all at once, creating chaos on the communication line. They sounded more like a bunch of school boys than the leaders of an army.

Finally, Edgar sighed and said in an indifferent tone, "All right, the duty officer is here to take the next shift. I'm going to get some sleep. Sir, excuse me." Although he had been a major general before, he was now just a colonel because of the demotion. None of the military officers on the intercom were inferior to him, so he had to show them the respect their ranks demanded. However, a shoulder badge was nothing but a mere worldly possession, one which could not impact his status in the army.

By the time he returned to his dormitory room, Gordon, his secretary, had already prepared a basin of water to wash his face and a cup of water for him to brush his teeth. After cleaning himself up, Edgar advised Gordon to contact Daniel in case of any emergency. Gordon walked out of the room soon after and Edgar went to bed.

He had stayed up the whole night, but he wasn't sleepy at all. His mind was filled with thoughts of Maggie. He had indeed straightened up his thoughts, but he hadn't decided to pursue Maggie. He wanted to make Maggie quit from the idea. And he could surprise the leaders who were waiting to hear his touching love story.

While he was busy with his thoughts, Maggie was not sitting around idle either. Due to the regular training sessions every morning, her biological clock couldn't adjust to the sudden holiday. Even though she could rest for the day, she woke up at the same time she got up every day. She tried but could no longer fall asleep after that.

So, after cleaning herself up, she went to the communication company. First, she made calls to her best friends in the college, Monica and Benjamin informing them about her relationship with Edgar. Hearing their different opinions, she could do nothing but roll her eyes. She figured that it was meaningless to ask them for any valuable advice. In the end, she made a call to William.

All the telephones in the communication room were connected to the control room servers. No matter which number she dialled, the number would be transmitted to the central control room. The guys in the control room would never eavesdrop on others' conversations, but they knew the telephone numbers.

"Wow! This is our deputy commander's phone number. Who is calling him?"

"Oh my God! Who is this Maggie Du? How could she make a direct call to him?"
