---- Chapter 383 However, Glen''s presence didn''t seem like he intended to join in or deliberately sabotage anything He looked at Maggie with a familiar tone and said, "Going out to eat with Mr. Becker?" Maggie: "Yes." "You''ll be backter, right?" "Yes." She still had some matters to handle and needed to return afterward. Glen nodded. "Alright, then I''lle find youter." After saying this, he didn''t say more. He nced at Harry and then turned to leave.
Harry knew that Glen was actually provoking him. He was basically telling Harry: "You had to work so hard just to get Maggie out, yet I know so much about her and have plenty of chances to spend time with her. I don''t even bother with petty ---- tricks to stop you from developing things with Maggie." Faced with Glen''s provocation, Harry neither got angry nor anxious. At this point, whether it was with him or Glen, Maggie simply didn''t have that kind of interest yet.
So the difference between Harry and Glen was really negligible. In fact, if given a choice, Harry would rather Maggie develop feelings for either him or Glen-even if it wasn''t for him personally... Harry had told Maggie before about Daisy being taken back by her grandmother recently.
Remembering it had been a while since he heard about Daisy, once they arrived at the restaurant, Maggie couldn''t help but ask, "How is Daisy doing now?" Hearing her ask about Daisy warmed Harry''s heart, and he said, "she''s doing well. She called a few days ago and said she misses you, wants toe back and y with you." Maggie smiled, "That''s good." After mentioning Daisy, Harry hesitated for half a second before saying, "I heard Isabe''s training went pretty well too.
She''s ---- likely to win an award in the nextpetition." Maggie nodded softly when hearing about Isabe, but before she could say more, the door to the private room suddenly opened. "Harry!" Hearing the voice, Harry''s expression immediately darkened. Maggie, however, remainedposed without a hint of disturbance. Sophia pushed the door open and, seeing Maggie there, her eyes widened. "What are you doing here?" Maggie didn''t n to respond.
Harry looked at Sophia coldly and asked, "What are you doinging in here?" Although Harry had always been cold toward her, this was the first time he showed such blunt and undisguised indifference. Sophia was stunned by Harry''s harshness, stammering, "I, I." "Sophia, that''s rude," Lin Laotai and Sun Laotai approached at that moment. They were surprised to see Maggie as well but knew Harry and ---- Cole still maintained good cooperation.
So seeing Harry having dinner alone with Maggie didn''t raise suspicion. sun Laotai smiled, "Sorry, Harry, Sophia was out of line, disturbing your business. Being elders, they gave Harry some face, and he responded, "It''s nothing." But toward Sophia, he was utterly unkind this time: "Miss Green, I don''t think we''re close. I hope there won''t be a next time for this kind of behavior.
Miss Green, do you understand what I''m saying?" Harry wasn''t just saying there wouldn''t be a next time-he was clearly rejecting her. Sophia really liked Harry, and seeing him reject her so firmly-especially in front of Maggie-she was so upset tears welled up. She couldn''t help but sob, "I, I didn''t mean to-" But Harry showed no softness.
since it was out in the open, he decided to make it absolutely clear in one go: "If I''m not mistaken, Miss Green seems interested in me, but I can tell you very clearly, there''s no chance between us. $0 I hope Miss Green can respect some boundaries from now on."
