Chapter 2695
When His Eyes Opened
âOkay, donât be embarrassed. If you want to find Maggie, go find her! Whatâs the matter? you wonât tell
your parents.â Mike laughed, âEric didnât know you came to Bridgedale, did he?â
âI donât need to tell Eric about my own itinerary.â Layla took the knife and wanted to cut the beef, âDo
you know where Maggie works?â
âYou can find the details of her working place online. How about I accompany you there?â Mike picked
up his phone and helped her look it up.
âNo need. Iâll go there by myself.â
âOkay, take a good rest today, and go to her tomorrow!â Mike looked at Layla face and joked, âyouâve
been on the plane for so long, youâre ashamed.â
Layla: âI want to figure it out and go back quickly. If my parents find out the real reason for my running
here, they will definitely be very disappointed.â
âItâs not disappointing. Itâs just going to make trouble!â Mike held a fork and put the beef in his mouth,
he chewed it, âYour father hates Eric, just like he hated me at the beginning. Your dad doesnât treat me
much better now than Eric did when I didnât get along with Chad. Your dad can hold grudges.â
Layla: âUncle Mike, donât say that about my dad.â
Mike: âWhat I mean is that your Dad will go crazy if you really want to be with Eric.â
Layla: ââ¦â
After lunch, Layla drove Mikeâs car to the research institute where Maggie worked.
When she arrived at the institute, it was already 4 oâclock 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 Maggieâs assistant for her.
âMiss, whatâs your name?â The receptionist asked Layla, holding the receiver.
âLayla.â After Layla said her name, her heart began to beat faster.
She was not familiar with Maggie, but they both know each otherâs existence.
Maggie wanted to meet Layla as soon as she heard her name.
Sure enough, after the receptionist gave Laylaâs name, within ten minutes, Maggie came out in casual
clothes.
âHi! Layla, why are you here?â Maggie greeted her with a smile.
Layla smiled: âIâm here for something. I heard you work here, so I stopped by to visit.â
âHaha! Iâm quite surprised that you came to see me. Let me treat you to dinner!â Maggie took Layla out.
Layla: âIâm not hungry.â
âHow about coffee?â Maggie asked.
Layla: âAlright.â
âThere is a coffee shop near our research institute. I go there for coffee almost every day.â Maggie took
Layla over, âYou came to see me, what is the matter?â
Maggie noticed that Laylaâs heart wanted to say some things even if she doesnât say it.
Maggie was also older than Layla, and her mind was clearer and more sensitive than hers.
âHave you always been this direct?â Layla asked jokingly.
âYes. Does my way of speaking make you feel uncomfortable?â Maggie tilted her head and looked at
Layla.
Layla shook her head: âMiss Maggie, Iâm 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?â
âHahaha! Does Eric know that you are looking for me?â Maggie asked without answering.
âI donât know. I couldnât find an answer from him, so I came to ask you. I always feel that the two of you
are not in love.â Layla said in her heart, âMiss Maggie, I hope you donât lie to me.â
