Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 243

The snow lay thick on the ground.

The snow-covered land became a vast expanse of whiteness stretching to infinity. Everything was covered -- houses, cars, sometimes doors. The occasional tree or building was the only interruption in this sea of white.

The snow finally came to a stop in the middle of the night, as if to make the night even quieter. However, a quiet night like this was depressing, like the calm before the storm.

The next day, the sun lazily broke through fluffy clouds and fell on the frosty cityscape, reflecting the dazzling light. Row upon row of high buildings seemed colder this morning. People rushed to work much earlier on the snowy day. Knowing they had to drive slower due to the snow, they didn't want to be late for work.

After the successful conclusion of the charity concert of Wing and Spark, the city parliament staff devoted themselves to a special task: the investment of Dragon Empire Group in another project in the city.

Bill walked in quickly, sporting a tight black suit, lollipop in his mouth. The parliamentary staff members greeted him, but he just nodded to them without stopping.

"What's wrong? Bill is like an ant on a hot pan." It was obvious from his hurried manner that Bill was anxious.

"Maybe the debt collectors stepped up their game."

"…"

Ordinarily Bill laughed and joked with others, but now he ignored the jibes, as well as other people, strode into the elevator, and quickly punched the button. He couldn't afford to lose any time.

Bill went straight to Edgar's office after the elevator whisked him up to the top floor. Jenifer lived in Edgar's apartment these days, so Edgar seldom went back and slept in the office suite on the plea of busy work. Besides, it afforded the mayor a certain amount of privacy.

Edgar lived a normal life. Unless there was some kind of meeting, he could usually be found shaven and showered, spruced up and sprawled out in his chair behind the desk, reading the documents related to city business or thinking about the development of the city as a whole. His office was decked out with all the comforts of home and more, with devices, a computer, big screen TV, and coffee maker. Not to mention silk sheets and a comfy bed. But Edgar thought most about his city. The city was only a stepping stone, but he never made excuses to slack off at work.

Thump-thump-thump. Edgar frowned at the sharp rapping at the door. Bill pushed his way in before Edgar could even answer, and stood in front of the desk, an anxious look on his face.

"What is it now? You know it's too early for this, right?" There was a trace of unhappiness on Edgar's handsome face. He was annoyed as Bill was always high-strung. And Bill didn't come to him with solutions, only problems.

"I wouldn't be here if it weren't urgent," said Bill with a frown. "Howard's back in town!"
