“Okay, don’t be embarrassed. If you want to find Maggie, go find her! What’s the matter? you won’t tell your
parents.” Mike laughed, “Eric didn’t know you came to Bridgedale, did he?”
“I don’t need to tell Eric about my own itinerary.” Layla took the knife and wanted to cut the beef, “Do you know
where Maggie works?”
“You can find the details of her working place online. How about I accompany you there?” Mike picked up his phone
and helped her look it up.
“No need. I’ll go there by myself.”
“Okay, take a good rest today, and go to her tomorrow!” Mike looked at Layla face and joked, “you’ve been on the
plane for so long, you’re ashamed.”
Layla: “I want to figure it out and go back quickly. If my parents find out the real reason for my running here, they

“It’s not disappointing. It’s just going to make trouble!” Mike held a fork and put the beef in his mouth, he chewed it,
“Your father hates Eric, just like he hated me at the beginning. Your dad doesn’t treat me much better now than
Eric did when I didn’t get along with Chad. Your dad can hold grudges.”
Layla: “Uncle Mike, don’t say that about my dad.”
Mike: “What I mean is that your Dad will go crazy if you really want to be with Eric.”
Layla: “…”
After lunch, Layla drove Mike’s car to the research institute where Maggie worked.
When she arrived at the institute, it was already 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
The receptionist asked her if she had an appointment, she said no.
Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the receptionist felt that she was not an ordinary person, so she contacted
Maggie’s assistant for her.
“Miss, what’s your name?” The receptionist asked Layla, holding the receiver.
“Layla.” After Layla said her name, her heart began to beat faster.
She was not familiar with Maggie, but they both know each other’s existence.
Maggie wanted to meet Layla as soon as she heard her name.
Sure enough, after the receptionist gave Layla’s name, within ten minutes, Maggie came out in casual clothes.
“Hi! Layla, why are you here?” Maggie greeted her with a smile.
Layla smiled: “I’m here for something. I heard you work here, so I stopped by to visit.”
“Haha! I’m quite surprised that you came to see me. Let me treat you to dinner!” Maggie took Layla out.
Layla: “I’m not hungry.”
“How about coffee?” Maggie asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLayla: “Alright.”
“There is a coffee shop near our research institute. I go there for coffee almost every day.” Maggie took Layla over,
“You came to see me, what is the matter?”
Maggie noticed that Layla’s heart wanted to say some things even if she doesn’t say it.
Maggie was also older than Layla, and her mind was clearer and more sensitive than hers.
“Have you always been this direct?” Layla asked jokingly.
“Yes. Does my way of speaking make you feel uncomfortable?” Maggie tilted her head and looked at Layla.
Layla shook her head: “Miss Maggie, I’m here… Actually, I came here on a special trip to find you. After you and
Eric made it public, you have been working in Bridgedale and he has been in Aryadelle. Are you two really in love?”
“Hahaha! Does Eric know that you are looking for me?” Maggie asked without answering.
“I don’t know. I couldn’t find an answer from him, so I came to ask you. I always feel that the two of you are not in
love.” Layla said in her heart, “Miss Maggie, I hope you don’t lie to me.”
