Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1251 Extra Story 6 Of Edgar Conflict

"Cathy..." Garth read out from an article in his laptop, "instructor of the Novel Warfare Strategy Brigade, lieutenant colonel, graduated from..." All the detailed information of their instructor was available for them to read. He continued, "She married the captain of the Falcon Commando, Daniel Xia. They are deemed as the strongest military couple of this decade. She excels at warfare strategy, while he is a combat specialist. Together, they are invincible!"

"Argh!" Maggie roared in frustration, "Why are all the good men taken? Why do they have to disappoint me when I need them the most? Argh! This is so unfair. Fate is mocking me!"

Garth turned to Jake, who said jokingly, "Looks like Maggie had a crush on someone. Did he dump you?"

Maggie's face turned stiff. She glared at Jake and growled, "How dare you mock your senior officer? You are violating the rules!" Even though she was threatening him, it was obvious that she was just joking and having a fun conversation.

Garth smiled at Jake and drifted back to the previous topic. "Most of the wartime strategies in the army right now are Cathy's. A while back, I had participated in the international commando competition, and guess what? The team that won the final prize was also using the strategy devised by Cathy." When Garth talked about Cathy, his eyes were brimming with admiration and envy.

"Impressive research!"

They heard a neat voice from the doorway. Instantly, the four of them dropped whatever they had in their hands and stood up in attention, eyes fixed directly ahead of them. "Ma'am!"

Cathy was wearing her training uniform. With her lips curved up into a smile, she scanned the new young faces and said, "I am Cathy Xiang. In your time under my command, you will be learning a great deal from me. And of course, I would like to see you improve with time." "Yes, ma'am!" they answered unanimously.

Grinning with delight, Cathy said, "No need to be so stiff. Relax! Let's go to the canteen first. We can talk over food."

With no prior experience in the camp, they quickly relaxed themselves when they found out that Cathy was not as strict as they had originally thought. Soon, they chattered and walked to the canteen with her.

"Cathy," Edith asked, eyes gleaming, "what kind of person is Captain Edgar?"

Cathy peeked at her and said, "Someone who is stronger than what the rumors say."

"Humph!" Maggie sneered and rolled her eyes. When everyone turned to look at her with a surprised expression, she embarrassingly explained herself, "Well, umm... I was just thinking that the rumors were quite incredible already. If he is even stronger than he is in the stories, then he must be... a legend?"

"More or less." Cathy nodded with a serious look on her face. "The Captain is more than just a legend for the Eagle Special Brigade. Only the strongest will be respected in the army."

Apart from Maggie, everyone else was interested in Edgar as they continued asking more questions about him. Needless to say, Maggie was upset. She felt like an outsider. Unlike the others who admired Edgar, she despised that man.

Up until yesterday, Maggie was just like them, but that incident was just too shocking for her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Maggie wasn't really fond of the idea of being a soldier. After all, the drills and exercises would be too intense for her. The sole purpose for her joining the army was so that she could meet Edgar and get close to him. But just when she was close to her goal, she was struck down by reality. 'God, do you enjoy laughing at me?' Maggie groaned in her mind.

Maggie was so absorbed in her reveries that she wasn't paying attention to their conversation. The only thing she heard was Cathy reminding her to finish the apology letters. She said that even though Edgar was normally nice, he was strict regarding some rules. If anyone dared to challenge his rules, he wouldn't hesitate to show them the meaning of fury and anger.

Cathy's warning had fully killed Maggie's defiant cells. In the army, it was a foolish idea to go up against your superior officer. The person with a higher rank was granted with absolute power over the one with a lower rank. Not to mention, Edgar's rank was several times higher than hers.

Maggie mindlessly filled her stomach without savoring the taste of the food. Naturally, she also turned a blind eye to the male soldiers in the camp who had rarely seen a woman in the camp before and were fixing their eyes on her. She was occupied with her own thoughts which was mainly cooking up how she was supposed to write that astoundingly long apology letter.

While everyone else took their nap after lunch, she was in the computer room, scratching her head, mentally groping for words to put down. It was a fairly simple task to write an apology to her father, William. She had written multiple reflections to William and she knew what kind of essay he would expect. But this one was for Edgar... How could she write a satisfactory apology letter without putting herself down?

Suddenly, she had an idea. With a sly grin, she started typing. Towards the end of the letter, a huge grin appeared on her face.

"Done!"

The moment she uttered the word, a light flashed on the screen.

And suddenly, the screen turned black. She whipped her head around and quickly checked the power source. The signal light was off. Immediately, the grin on her face turned into a grim frown.

"No! I haven't even printed it out yet!" Maggie roared angrily. The computers were all installed with an auto-delete system. Once they were shut down, all the previous data would be erased automatically. And hence... All her hard work had just disappeared into think air with that power failure.

"Maggie!"

On instinct, she stood up and answered without a conscious thought. "Yes, sir!"

Edgar glared at her. "Complete silence in the computer room. Got it?"

Maggie didn't reply, so Edgar raised his voice and ordered, "Did you hear what I said?"

Gritting her teeth, Maggie defiantly refused to answer the question. Then she did something which she would later regret. "Sir! I just want to know, are you the one who turned off the power?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
