Chapter 14
People coming and going behind, everyone had their own direction to
- go.
But there was only the absence of that familiar figure.
Jeffrey looked around and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
“Jeffrey, what’s wrong?”
The colleague looked at him curiously.
Jeffrey shook his head, all emotions gathered, and said coldly, “It’s nothing, I saw it wrong.”
Having said that, he then calmly walked forward.
Until he boarded the plane, his heart still had some strange fluctuations.
Three years later, how did he remember Maggie again?
Wasn’t the pain she gave deep enough?
Jeffrey closed his eyes and hid all the emotions in the depths of his
eyes.
Three years ago, Maggie broke up with him because of their different career paths. He didn’t try to chase after her or say anything just accepted their breakup.
He thought breaking up with Amber was similar in nature, felt bad for a few days, and then moved on.

Even after a week of breaking up, he still thinks of her.
They broke up a month ago, but he still thinks of her.
During meals, he would miss the dishes she cooked; when waking up, he would miss her sleeping face beside him; when washing black and white clothes together, he would miss her nagging about mixing colors.
His life had long been unconsciously filled with her presence.
Maggie dumped him.
Jeffrey felt that he should have dignity, so he kept holding back and didn’t go to find her.
But this longing became heavier and heavier, almost crushing him.
At this moment, he only belatedly realized that he might have fallen in love with her.
However, by this time, she was no longer by his side.
Jeffrey suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a tightness in his chest.
He looked out of the window, taking in the whole city, but he knew she was not there.
***
On the third day after Maggie returned to her home country, she officially started working at BrightPath.
Still the former boss on top, they worked together with an understanding.
Just…

Maggie looked at the contract in front of her and suddenly fell silent.
The boss spoke in a tone and was about to withdraw: “I know you don’t want to have anything to do with Jeffrey anymore, but currently, the only ones qualified to collaborate on this case in the United States are them. If you really find it difficult, I can assign someone else.”
Maggie frowned, pressing down on the contract with one hand.
“No need, since I have chosen to return to my country, I am prepared to face him.”
She looked serious when she saw her boss, but instead she smiled and asked, “When did you make an appointment?”
The boss quickly replied, “Three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
Maggie nodded and turned away.
She did not hesitate, but accepted it readily.
One day in the future, they will meet again. If she continues to hide and evade, he will only look down on her.
What’s more, he now has a stable relationship, maybe they are already married, why should she care?
Maggie comforted a few words, at least suppressed her emotions back.
The next day when she arrived at the club, she stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then twisted the door open.
My heart was almost jumping out of my chest.
She looked around nervously, but didn’t see Jeffrey. Instead, there were some unfamiliar faces.

The visitor took the initiative to step forward and greeted with a gentle smile: “I am in charge of this area in the laboratory, you can call me Braylen.”
Braylen looks like he is about twenty–five or twenty–six, but he speaks and acts very maturely.
Maggie said nothing, just smiled and sat down calmly.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Braylen say, “Our boss will be here soon, please be patient.”
“It’s nothing,” Maggie’s palms were sweating.
Just as he finished speaking, the door behind him opened.
Braylen immediately got up and went over to greet the person: “Mr. Arellano…”
Maggie’s body suddenly stiffened.
