Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1344

Maggie curled her mouth at Edgar's words with her eyes rolling, and replied, "I do know how rich he is! He owns such a fertile and wealthy island, and is the president of the Dragon Empire Group, one of the top ten enterprises in the world. I have common sense, alright?"

"Mr. Edgar Gu, the Young Master sent me to pick you up," a woman said then.

As Maggie turned her head to look where the voice came from, she then saw it was Lenny who had spoken. Due to the different contexts between Maggie and the beautiful woman in front of her, Maggie could easily sense the dangerous hidden temperament of the woman with a glance. Yet the almost violent nature of the woman was not directed at Maggie or Edgar though. It seemed that she was born with this special character.

Meanwhile, Edgar nodded his consent at Lenny's words, then he took Maggie's hand and guided her to the waiting car. As the driver, Lenny drove the car along the way towards the Royal Garden. On the way there, Edgar made small talk with Lenny. Soon, he received a phone call from Eric.

"I am going to attend a meeting now. Let's rather have dinner together tonight, shall we?" Eric said over the speakerphone with the sound of him signing papers evident in the background. "I'll come to visit you with Little Molly. Then we'll go to the camp together, shall we?" he added.

"No problem," replied Edgar. He added, "I'm going to take Maggie out later. Let's keep in touch via phone."

"Sure," Eric agreed as he stopped writing to hand over the papers to some faceless assistant on the other end. With a meaningful smile on his face, he then continued, "What did I say to you last time? I told you that you would fall in love with Maggie in the end, remember? I just can't believe you did it so quickly though. Anyway, you owe me one."

As Eric was speaking on the phone, Edgar's face quickly flashed a smile and he remarked, "Fine, I'll make it up to you!"

With a slight frown, Eric responded, "Wait! Never mind. Just forget what I said. I get a bad feeling with you talking to me like that." After a quick pause, he added, "I've prepared a car for you and I'll send someone to bring it to you. This is not your first time to Dragon Island, so you won't lose your way, will you?"

There flashed an awkward look on Edgar's face, and he reminded, "Come on, why don't you rather focus on your business? Okay, I've got to go now." Before Eric could reply further, Edgar hung up the phone immediately.

After driving for a while, Lenny pulled the car up to the gate of one of the villas. There was another car parked in front of the gate already—the car that Eric had mentioned on the phone. Lenny took the car keys from the driver and handed it to Edgar. "Mr. Edgar Gu, I'll leave, if you have no further orders." As she spoke, Lenny nodded to Maggie respectfully, then she turned and left.
