Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1263 Extra Story 18 Of Edgar A Special Mission For Two People

The other girl, Edith, also came from a military family in X City. She didn't want to spend long hours on the road to visit her parents either. In the end, she decided to join Garth and Jake, in traveling around S City.

"Maggie, are you going to join us?" Jake asked excitedly.

With helplessness on her face, Maggie answered, "No, I'm afraid that I can't. My mother said that if I don't return home to spend a couple of days with her, she will disown me."

When he heard that, Jake's smile faded and he expressed his sympathy for Maggie. The other two seemed disappointed to hear that too. After all, the four of them had spent the past five months together and had built a deep friendship with one another. All of them wanted to be together even when going out to play.

"Well, why don't you all stay in my apartment?"

Maggie suggested. "I bought a small apartment near my college so I wouldn't have to travel from my parent's home all the time. If you don't mind, you guys can stay there. When I finish meeting my mother, I will go there and join you."

"That sounds great!" Edith said. Her eyes shone as soon as she heard Maggie's suggestion. "I heard that there are a lot of delicious delis near the gate of your college." As a foodie, her eyes lit up like Christmas lights as the mere thought of food.

Maggie nodded in confirmation. Then they began discussing the plan for the three-day vacation. In the end, they decided that on the first day the other three would do what they wanted to do in the city, and that on the second day Maggie would join them and guide them on a tour around S City. It would be more interesting if her two bosom friends also came home. In that case, they would also come along so they could play and have fun together. Maggie felt excited at the mere thought of the fun they would have. Needless to say, she was looking forward to the vacation. "Maggie Du!"

"Here!" Maggie answered and stood up as soon as she heard her name. The bright smile at the corners of her mouth disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a solemn look on her face.

At the same time, the three others also stood to attention. They all looked at the door, where Daniel was standing.

After briefly glancing at the three, Daniel finally fixed his eyes on Maggie. "Maggie Du, please step forward and follow me," he ordered.

"Yes, Sir!" Maggie answered and then marched out of the room behind Daniel. Immediately, the others began gossiping. Curiously, they wondered whether something had happened.

Following Daniel, Maggie walked from the rest room to the office area. Despite her confusion, she dared not ask any questions. In the Eagle Special Brigade, the person she most admired was Cathy, while the person she most feared was Daniel, the captain of the Falcon Commando. Cathy was lively, amiable and easy-going, even though she had great capabilities in technical research. In stark contrast, Daniel hardly ever smiled, except when he was in the presence of Cathy and Edgar, as far as she had seen. It seemed as though he always had a bleak expression on his face, especially when he spoke to his subordinates.

While walking behind Daniel, Maggie thought about what could possibly be happening. She decided that if Edgar made trouble for her intentionally before the vacation, she would be sure to ask her father for help this time. This would make it an exception for both the father and daughter who only managed a cordial relationship. She would have to do that in order not to disappoint her three colleagues.

When they arrived at the strategic conference room, Maggie found that, as expected, it was Edgar who had made trouble for her. However, she didn't need to ask William for help, because he was also there. Several other officers she didn't know were also present. The atmosphere inside the conference room was thick with tension.

"Excuse me!"

Daniel called at the door and then brought Maggie into the conference room. After courteously saluting to each of the leaders, Daniel walked over and sat down next to Edgar, leaving Maggie standing all alone in front of everyone. Having been gazed at by quite a few people, including several other she didn't know, Maggie felt unnerved and self-conscious.

"Maggie Du," a man in his forties with an insignia indicating the military rank of Brigadier General began speaking.

"Here!" Maggie answered immediately, hoping that her voice didn't shake.

With a tight smile on his face, the Brigadier General pointed Maggie to a chair, indicating that she should sit down. Maggie's eyes shifted subconsciously to her father, William, who seemed to hold the highest military rank in the conference room. It was not until he nodded to her that she pulled out a chair and sat.

In fact, she didn't sit comfortably but only just touched the seat with her bottom. She was ready to spring up at any time.

"You must feel quite surprised to be called here?" the Brigadier General said. "I'm from the Ice Wolf Special Battle Regiment in A Army, and I'm sorry but I can't reveal my full identity to you for confidential reasons. The reason why I'm here today is that I want to ask for your help with something."

Maggie was surprised and confused. After all, everybody else here had a military rank higher than her. If he wanted her to do something, he could have just given her an order. She didn't know why he had decided to ask her for help instead.

"In consideration to the special nature of this incident, after reporting to the Headquarters of the General Staff, our military region came to Colonel Edgar for help. This was because we thought that since he once worked as the mayor of A City for several years, he knows the circumstances in A City well. Therefore, it would be relatively easy for him to take action," the Brigadier General explained when he saw the confusion on Maggie's face. "You might think that we're supposed to know A City better than Colonel Edgar? Yes, you would be right to think that.

We also wanted to take action by ourselves." As his face clouded over, he continued, "But unfortunately, due to an unexpected disclosure of military data, the information concerning everybody in A Army has been divulged. As a result, we dared not take any action until now for fear that the military data of any planned actions would have been made public."0000
