Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1374

"Cain, it's been reported that William is going to ensure Edgar's safety..." the man explained in an urgent tone over the phone. "No decisions have been made by the senior military officer yet."

Casting a glimpse at Maggie, who was ordering food with an innocent smile, and kept asking, "Who's in charge of this?"

Being distracted by the light voice and the noisy background, the man on the other end of the call paused for a few seconds and then revealed the answer. "It's the vice president of Military Commissions, Richard Lu."

"Oh?" Cain seemed not to have expected this name, but there was also a brief flicker of delight in his expression. "Well, I see." Noticing that Maggie had taken the trays of food and was moving towards him, Cain immediately ended the conversation. "Wait until I'm done with this business." He hung up the phone without affording the man an opportunity to reply.

"Who are you talking to so early?" While raising this question, Maggie put the bean curd in front of Cain and introduced the other dishes. "Here you are. This is my favorite. It is the specialty here: buns stuffed with braised pork." While introducing the food, she moved two of the buns onto the plate for Cain to have a taste.

Being aware of her earlier doubts, Cain smiled casually and explained, "It's early here, but it's already late in M Country."

Hearing this, Maggie was at first shocked, and then frowned. "There won't be any accident, right?"

"No..." Cain shook his head. "I was just making sure of it. Alright, help yourself! When you have finished eating, I will take you back home to get some rest. I should return to my hotel room, too. It's a shame for us to have ended up like this. When we return, I still need to take a shower."

Maggie nodded with a smile, and then began to eat. As a matter of fact, after spending time with Cain these past few days, Maggie had come to accept him. She had found that he was not as unwelcoming as others believed. So, in other words, everyone had a different point of view, and people might surprise us when we gave them the chance.

After the breakfast, Cain drove Maggie and they returned to the military region. He left again once he made sure that she entered the yard.

Cain dialed the phone number as soon as he entered his room. After a while, the phone was answered by a slow and unfamiliar voice. "Long time no see, Uncle Richard," Cain said coldly.

"Excuse me? Who is this speaking now?" Richard frowned and his angular face was full of confusion. Only his personal acquaintances had his phone number, and until now there had seldom been a strange number calling him.

"I happened to hear that you are staying in S City right now. If you are available, I would like to meet with you in person." Cain walked to the closet and selected the clothes that he was going to wear later.

It was unlikely for someone who knew Richard's number to be a person who didn't know him personally, especially considering that he was an influential person in both military and political circles. In addition, it was unlikely that this person could get the hang of him so quickly, so Richard asked, "Where would you meet me?"

Cain slowed his animated gestures, and continued with a smile, "I'll wait for you at the western border of the S Army's security fence. See you in two hours!"

Richard was caught in deep thought, since this guy was not only familiar with his personal business, but also with everything concerning his personal affairs. This man clearly knew everything concerning the S Army. As for the two-hour driving distance... If he was correct, the man must then stay somewhere in the center of S City.
