Chapter 16
Maggie’s pupils trembled.
All the words were stuck in my throat in an instant, and I couldn’t say anything.
Three years had passed, and in that moment when she saw Jeffrey again, she felt no sense of unfamiliarity in her heart.
It seems that in these three years, she has never forgotten him.
At the thought of this, Maggie couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
I really haven’t let go.
No matter what, it was not the emotions she should have shown now.
Long time no see.
She spoke lightly, with no emotion in her tone, as if she were meeting an ordinary friend.
They may not even be considered as ordinary–friends.
Jeffrey had a cold expression on his face, it was unclear whether he had heard her words just now or not. He just nodded slightly, then his gaze passed her and landed on Albert behind her.
This was a clear warning.Chapter 15
The voice that could be heard behind was not Jeffrey’s voice.
Are you the person in charge of BrightPath?
Maggie stared blankly at the face of the approaching person, a completely unfamiliar face.
The high–hanging heart suddenly fell, but there was some indescribable loss hidden in it.
I am, hello, my name is Maggie.
She gently reached out her hand.
The visitor quickly shook hands and then explained, “I’m sorry, Jeffrey went abroad a few days ago and hasn’t returned yet. Today, I am temporarily in charge.”
Maggie had no objections and the future person was brought to the table, smoothly entering the discussion stage.
But in my heart, drums were beating.
Did Jeffrey really go abroad, or was he deliberately avoiding suspicion?
After all the basic details were finalized, she finally got the signed
contract.
The man then smiled and asked, “The matter has been resolved, so can we finally sit down and chat now?”
Maggie was stunned.

She looked carefully at the other person’s face and then asked hesitantly, “Are you Albert?”
Albert nodded suddenly, and the muscles on his face relaxed.
I thought you were blaming me, pretending not to know me.
Maggie smiled helplessly, “Sorry, it’s been so long since we last met, I can’t remember clearly. And you didn’t introduce yourself just now.”
Albert also looked a bit helpless on his face, and it took a while before he said, “I didn’t invite you to the opening ceremony that time, and a few days later I heard that you and Jeffrey broke up, so…”
He didn’t say it all, but Maggie instantly understood.
He felt that he indirectly caused their breakup, so he was somewhat
uneasy.
Maggie chuckled and comforted, “This has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I would have broken up with Jeffrey in a few days.”
Albert was stunned, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
Maggie didn’t think much of it and walked out first.
Upon hearing such a big secret, Braylen’s pupils trembled in shock, and he followed behind Albert, asking, “Is this Mr. Arellano’s ex- girlfriend? Maggie?”
Albert nodded.
Later, Braylen marveled at his side, “I was wondering ho
omeone
like our Mr. Arellano could also drown in love, turns out it’s because of such a beautiful woman.”

Albert also had moments of absent–mindedness.

Yeah, he never thought that someone like Jeffrey would actually spend. the whole night muttering Maggie’s name after getting drunk.
After being extremely angry, Amber was back to normal the next day, going to work as if nothing had happened.
In these three years, Jeffrey has not had a woman by his side. Is he still waiting for her?
Albert thought of this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he quickly caught up.
Maggie was stopped by him at the door and looked at him in surprise, “Is there something else?”
Albert was a little out of breath, but more so, it was because of
nervousness.
Jeffrey has been single for these years.
A sudden sentence caught Maggie off guard.
She asked instinctively, “Wasn’t he with Amber?”
Albert frowned and asked, “How could he be with Amber? Not long after you broke up, Amber went abroad. At least in my eyes, they were both innocent.”
Maggie couldn’t help but frown.
She didn’t forget the photo that Amber posted back then.
Did Jeffrey break up with her again, or did Amber abandon him once more?

Maggie couldn’t help but think deeply, but soon she came to her senses and couldn’t help but curse herself.
No matter who Jeffrey is with now, or what relationship he has with
her.
At the thought of this, Maggie’s expression turned cold.
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey anymore. Whether he is with Amber or not, that is his choice and I don’t care.
She finished speaking calmly, and then saw Albert’s face change drastically.
She didn’t think much either, just nodded slightly and then turned to leave.
But in the next moment, she came face to face with the cold face of the man behind her.
It had been three years since I last saw Jeffrey.

It was as if he was saying to her: “You have crossed the line.”
Albert choked and had to change the subject, asking, “Didn’t you say you couldn’t come back?”

Jeffrey nodded and calmly said, “It took less time than I imagined, so I came to take a look.”
Maggie raised her eyebrows, didn’t say much, just said, “You guys chat, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Jeffrey didn’t say a word, standing there like a pine tree, incredibly straight.
Maggie crossed past him and heard him say coldly to Albert behind her, “Next time, don’t mention my business to irrelevant people.”
She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
It doesn’t matter.
Maggie self–deprecatingly curled her lips and then continued to leave.
Jeffrey heard the footsteps gradually fading away.
A face darkened completely, casting a shadow over the surrounding atmosphere.
Albert couldn’t see that his dead duck was stubborn, sneered, and said, “You just keep being stubborn, when Maggie has a new boyfriend, I’ll see where you regret.”
Jeffrey clenched his hand numbly.
The whole person stood still, with a drooping brow and eyes: “Didn’t you hear? She said it herself, she doesn’t care about me, so she’s just an insignificant person.”
Albert choked again, speechless.
“Okay, suit yourself”

He left angrily, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, “When I first met you, you weren’t like this.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have switched to your lab.”
But one thing I understand very clearly, the BrightPath case in the United States, indeed only we can cooperate, but we are not. Since you have chosen BrightPath against all odds, then do not bring personal feelings into it anymore.
Otherwise, one day, you will really regret it.
Albert said and then left.
Jeffrey stood with a cold face for a while, but suddenly felt. inexplicably tired.
He learned that Maggie was in charge of this case abroad, so he forcibly accelerated the process and deliberately rushed back.
What on earth is it for?
Jeffrey fell into a rare silence, his heart full of complexity, but he didn’t know where to start.
On the other side.
Maggie returned to the office with the contract.
She absentmindedly flipped through the documents in front of her, but her gaze never stayed on them.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Assistant: “Maggie, someone from Germany has come over again. Do you want to come out and meet them?”
Maggie furrowed her brows slightly.

She did not receive any news about someone parachuting in.
Confused, she didn’t show it, stood up and walked out with her.
Just as I walked to the middle of the hall, I heard a familiar male voice: “Hello everyone, I am Felix, your future partner to work with. My English is not very good.”
Maggie was stunned.
A faint joy bloomed in her heart as she looked at the man surrounded by the crowd, and she chuckled lightly.
“Felix, why do you always start a conversation with Americans with the same sentence?”
