Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1294 Extra Story 49 Of Edgar Scare

After leaving the communication company, Maggie went back to her dormitory with a lighter heart. The four students, including herself, were accommodated in double rooms. She and Edith were in the same room. Edith had gone out with Jake early in the morning. Maggie didn't know where they had gone off to or what they were doing. She wondered if they were involved romantically. However, she wasn't in the mood to care about others' relationships. She had her own affairs to take care of. She went back to sleep in a pretty good mood. She didn't get up until noon. She went to the dining hall to have lunch along with Cathy.

"Madam," Maggie called. After looking around to make sure that there was nobody else close enough to hear her, she said mysteriously, "I have decided to go ahead."

Cathy was dazed for a moment before she realized what Maggie was talking about. In an instant, her eyes widened. She asked to confirm, "Are you sure?"

With a serious nod, Maggie answered, "I don't think I should just let it be. My internship here will come to an end in another two months. I will have to go back to the college to work on my thesis and the internship report. I will likely be very busy and I won't be able to care about anything else. Besides, you seldom have any vacation during the New Year. It is not easy for me to enter the Eagle Special Brigade again to see him. Even if I could manage to enter, I would have to leave soon because I don't have a valid reason to stay here." "Wow. You're so farsighted!" Cathy praised her with a smile, pursing her lips to refrain herself from laughing out loud.

Maggie smiled secretly too. She added, "Moreover, I have a dangerous rival here. I don't want to let her take advantage of my absence."

Cathy snickered. She loved Maggie because she dared to put her thoughts into practice without any hesitation. She said, "Hmm, you're right. If you didn't get this ambitious, I would have regretted saying all those earnest words to you during the exercise. "Ah..." Smiling, Maggie said, "Madam, rest your heart at ease. I'm determined to succeed this time. If I don't seize him, I will change my name."

"Who are you going to seize?" Daniel's voice came through all of a sudden, startling both Maggie and Cathy.

Cathy rolled her eyes, while Maggie hastily stood up in attention. "Good afternoon, sir!" she greeted Daniel.

"Good afternoon. Sit down," Daniel said. Turning his eyes to look at Cathy, he asked, "What are you two talking about? I saw your sinister smiles from a mile away. "Maggie gaped blankly at Daniel's description of their smiles. She had thought that their smiles were pure and beautiful, like blooming flowers and shining stars.

Sighing slightly, Cathy said, "I know you're just being honest, but don't you think you're hurting our feelings by describing our pretty smiles as sinister?" Despite her disagreement, she didn't look very annoyed. She continued with a smile, "We were talking about Edgar." Maggie sighed. Cathy had spilled the beans before Maggie could prevent her from telling Daniel.

"It doesn't matter. Daniel has known about you two since a long time ago," Cathy said with a wide smile. "It was Daniel who told me about this century's kiss between you and Edgar."

It was Daniel's turn to look speechless. Until then, he had no idea that his wife had such a big mouth.

Maggie blushed instantly. In a hurry, she tried to explain, looking back and forth between the couple, "That was because of the mission. It was an accident. We-" She stopped midway and turned her eyes to look at Daniel. "Sir, how do you know about it? Did Captain Edgar tell you?"

"Do you really think he would do something like that?" Daniel asked back, staring at Maggie. "How could you speak of him like that without thinking after you've trained with him for such a long time?"

Hearing Daniel's criticism, Maggie drooped her shoulders and lowered her head in shame. However, Daniel was then criticized by Cathy, who told him to put a restraint on his impulse and not be too hard on his subordinates. After all, it was a rest day.

Maggie no longer cared about Daniel's criticism. Her focus had shifted to something else. She thought, 'It looks like both Daniel and Cathy knew what happened between Edgar and I in A City. But does anybody else know?'

Maggie was as curious as a cat. However, in consideration to her dignity, she could not ask Cathy or Daniel frankly. The lunch started in high spirits but ended with her becoming sulky because of Daniel's unexpected appearance.

Before Cathy and Daniel said goodbye to her, Daniel said something that made her feel better. "If you want to know anything about him, I can contact my elder sister for you. She could help you," Daniel said. "But if you want to know about his childhood, perhaps I can help you too. I once lived in the same compound with him for several years."

"Really?" Maggie's eyes shone brightly when she heard that. When Daniel nodded, she said with gratitude all over her face, "Thank you, sir!"

With a meaningful smile, Daniel and Cathy left together. Maggie left the dining hall shortly after that. However, she didn't go back to her dormitory. Instead, she walked towards Edgar's dormitory. And she was carrying some food with her. "May I come in, sir?"

"Come in!" Edgar's somewhat lazy voice came from inside.

After winking to Gordon, Maggie pushed the door open and walked into the room. First, she saluted Edgar, who was writing something behind the desk. Then she placed the food on the desk in front of him. "Sir, I thought you would have been sleeping through the morning because you were on duty all night and you may have woken up—" "Get to the point," Edgar said without raising his head. He was still writing something quickly on his notepad.

Maggie took a glimpse at his outstanding handwriting. If he took part in a handwriting competition, he could probably win a medal. "Sir, I've come to deliver some lunch for you. And to express my affection towards you!" she added.

As soon as he heard what Maggie said, Edgar stopped writing abruptly. As he raised his head slowly to gaze at Maggie, his eyes turned deeper than the ocean.
