Maggie gathered her luggage as the plane landed smoothly before disembarking. She handed the letter. she was holding to Nathael with a smile and said, “Mr. Harris, this is for you.”
Nathael’s expression was cool. His gaze fell on the envelope she had touch it.
itten hours before, but he didn’t
Maggie wasn’t anxious. Since he didn’t accept it, she placed the envelope on the storage table opposite him, then proceeded to get off the plane.
Nathael’s eyes lingered on her back, and he slowly said, “Ms. Adam.
Maggie paused. She glanced back, looked at him, and asked, “What sup?”
“Remember to return my clothes,” Nathael said slowly, his dark eyes locking onto hers.
Maggie experienced a brief moment of shock. Then she remembered the paper bag she carried by her feet. “Oh, that’s right! I have indeed forgotten.”
She picked up the clothes and then left.
Nathael didn’t rush to get off the plane. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. After a while, he reopened them, took the envelope Maggie had left on the storage table, and opened it.
Inside the envelope, he saw a portrait of himself. Along with the drawing, there were many crookedly written words. At a glance, they all read…
“Nathael’s a pig!”
Nathael’s eyes fixed on the words on the paper. The veins on his forehead bulged. His temples throbbed painfully as he squeezed a few words from his teeth. “Maggie Adam!”
Haha, no wonder she waited until disembarking to give it to me.
It turns out she was afraid I would skin her alive!
Maggie made a quick exit, probably having thoroughly scolded Nathael and being in a good mood
because of it.
After completing her hotel check–in process, Maggie contacted the person in charge to coordinate the program. After clarifying her study course and location for the next few days, she returned to her room to
rest..
Not long after, a call came in and the hotel staff said, “Sorry, miss, the clothing you sent over has been stained with wine for too long and cannot be cleaned. The fabric is delicate; we dare not attempt to clean it too many times.”
Maggie rubbed her temples. What a hassle.
“Just send them back to me then,” she replied.

Correct
Although she was not into fashion design, she could tell that the fabric was delicate.
Maggie decided to call Alex. After all, she was too cowardly to call Nathael.
The phone rang for a while before being answered. Maggie said warmly, “Mr. Solace, how much does Mr. Harris’s suit cost? I’ll just transfer the money to you.”
Alex held the phone in his hand. He looked at Nathael, who had a cold expression in front of him,and replied, “Ms. Adam, his clothes are all custom–made. Also, Mr. Harris isn’t short of money.”
Maggie was unsure what to say.
Of course, I know Nathael isn’t short of money, but isn’t he clearly suggesting I compensate for it?
Maggie decided to bite the bullet. She said, “Even custom–made has a price, right? The wine stains can’t be washed off. Why don’t you ask Nathael if he wants me to compensate?”
“Ms. Adam, why don’t you ask him yourself?” Alex said it with a smile. He didn’t want to get involved in the
two’s affairs.
After all, the last time was already a mess, and he ended up needing to rummage through the trash.
Alex’s response left Maggie speechless. If I’m so bold, why would I call you?
Just after cursing Nathael, she doesn’t have the nerve to go to him now; that would be suicidal.
“Mr. Solace, you have a point,” Maggie agreed with a nod.
Alex was quite relieved. He thought, compared to Nathael, Maggie was still reasonable. Before he could fully exhale, he heard Maggie continue, “But don’t say it next time.”
Alex had no words.
He looked up again at the man in front of the office desk, trying to figure out what she meant.
This is exhausting.
Life is truly exhausting.
“Do you still want me to compensate?” Maggie asked absent–mindedly, hoping it would indeed be better if she could just transfer the money and be done with the hassle of returning the clothes.
Alex’s expression was serious as he replied carnestly, “I apologise, Ms. Adam, but this suit holds a different significance for Mr. Harris. I’m afraid we cannot accept your proposal.”
Maggie was puzzled.
She’s being conned for a suit now.
Seeing no significant change in Nathael’s expression, Alex felt more certain about his thoughts and immediately said, “Putting aside the price, this suit was a gift from a very important elder to Mr. Harris. It really isn’t about the money.”

Maggie was speechless.
That excuse seemed a bit far–fetched, didn’t it?
If it was gifted by
ch an important elder, why would Nathael wear it on a usual outing? Shouldn’t something that important be enshrined at home?
“So, Mr. Solace, how do you plan to solve this?” Maggie’s tone was cool.
Alex fell silent for a while. His mind racing, he said with a frown, “How about this, Ms. Adam? You can buy a new suit for Mr. Harris”
“Fine. I’ll buy it and have the store deliver it to you, Maggie said, somewhat relieved, thinking that it didn’t seem too troublesome after all.
Well, it seems she thought wrongly. Nathael wasn’t that kind of person,
Then, Alex added. “Ms. Adam, my boss isn’t lacking a suit; what he lacks is the sentiment behind it. Moreover, he’s quite picky, and what you choose may not meet his liking.
Maggie closed her eyes, knowing the matter wasn’t going to be that simple to resolve.
“So what? Do I have to make him a suit with my own hands?” she asked.
Upon hearing this. Alex couldn’t help but smile and say, “That would be even better; Mr. Harris would definitely like it
Maggie cursed internally. Screw you!
Does it appear that I have nothing to do?
Or do I seem easy to bully?
“I don’t mind making it, but would Nathael
to wear it?” Maggie spoke in a light tone, her voice laced Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
with a chill that Alex could feel through the phone.
Nathael’s gaze was indifferent. With Alex standing close, the sound from the speaker was loud enough to fill the room, and Maggie’s words were clear to him.
Unable to help it, Alex looked at Nathael again while contemplating that, given Maggie’s temperament, she might produce something outrageous. Who knows, she might put it past her to have underwear worn on the outside.
When he thought about it, Alex immediately thought it was a bad idea.
When the kings fight, the pawns suffer.
Unfortunately, I’m the pawn.
What should I do now? Alex fell stuck.
Fortunately, Nathael finally gave a reaction. He opened his pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper.
Alex was so excited that he almost wanted to grovel at Nathael for finally sparing him from guessing

“Ms. Adam, since it’s an apology, of course, sincerity is required. How about this? If you have time in the next couple of days, you could accompany my boss to select it in the mall. You can pay at the shop, Alex
said.
He had a newfound confidence as he relayed Nathael’s instructions.
Hearing this, Maggie bluntly said, “I’m sorry, but I’ve been busy recently.”
Alex continued, “No problem; there are many 24–hour shopping malls in Treye.”
“Mr. Solace, which mall operates 24 hours a day?” Maggie challenged, unwilling to give up.
Alex replied with a fake smile. “The malls owned by Mr. Harris are available,”
Once again, Maggie was speechless.
