At that moment, a devastating sense of anger engulfed Jeffrey.
He hung up the phone stillly, sitting in the airport like a soulless sculpture.
Not moving.
Until the announcement reminding passengers to board the plane sounded at the airport: “The cabin will close in fifteen minutes, please hurry up and board the plane.”
Jeffrey just woke up as if from a dream.
At that moment, the plane ticket in my hand seemed like a joke.
He sneered, picked up his suitcase and headed towards the airport service desk, his face as cold as frost, emitting a chilling air.
Hello, I would like to process a refund.

After a flight lasting more than ten hours, Maggie felt a bit weak in the legs when she got off the plane.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the Branch office in Germany waiting at the exit, working efficiently. After picking her up, he drove her to the dormitory.
The company here is still in the early stages, so you have to understand that the dormitory conditions are definitely not as good as those in the United States.

He talked to her while driving.
Hello, my name is Felix Bradshaw. Although I was American, I didn’t speak English well, so please teach me English more in the future.
Felix spoke fluent German, only stumbling over his English name when he said it in English.
Maggie nodded and probably met a fellow countryman in her hometown, she couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
He was wearing a camel–colored windbreaker, looking tall and leggy. When he helped her with the luggage, he casually revealed the tight muscles in his forearms.
At this moment, driving with one hand, the half–opened car window letting in the breeze.
He blew his hair, messy, but unexpectedly added a touch of casual atmosphere.
Felix glanced at her through the rearview mirror and raised a mysterious smile, “What are you looking at?”
Maggie was slightly scalded by the smile and looked away first.
“Nothing.”
She had never dealt with such confident and outgoing men before, even though American men may hold a position of power, they still maintain a humble demeanor on the surface, humble to the point of being somewhat hypocritical.
So she felt a fleeting sense of freshness in her heart.
When they arrived at the dormitory of the law firm, Felix diligently helped her move her luggage and checked the water, electricity, and

furniture in the dormitory before finally speaking and leaving
If anything happens, just come out and find me at 304, that’s where I live
Felix put down the keys and reminded, “Before opening the door, remember to look through the peephole. You are new here, there are quite a few people living on this floor, for sure many of them are curious about you.”
Maggie nodded approvingly from the sidelines.
Felix then turned around and left, taking the door with him.
Maggie finally breathed a sigh of relief, even though the person sent by the law firm was with her alone in the room, a tall man of 1.8 meters, she still felt a little awkward.
With the person gone, she finally had the mind to carefully examine the room where she would be living for the next few years.
Compared to the previous house, the current one is more like a hotel.
A forty–square–meter room with only basic furniture, nothing else.
Maggie, however, collapsed directly onto the bed, her eyes and brows Weary
Now, she finally had time to take out her phone, log onto the internet, only to see a message from her boss
There was a moment of silence
Would Jeffrey come to see her?
Maggie doubted the possibility of these words, not believing from the bottom of her heart, yet having some indescribable expectations

One night passed.
Another night has passed.
Forty–eight hours have passed.
Maggie lay in bed, chuckling to herself.
How come she is still deceiving herself at this point in time?
Feeling upset in her heart, she didn’t pay much attention. Just about to fall asleep, her phone suddenly buzzed in her hand.
She opened it, and only then did she realize that Amber had posted a new status on Facebook.
Round and round, you were still by my side.
The photo was a picture of hands clasped together.
Maggie recognized Jeffrey’s hand at a glance.
