Chapter 357
On Monday morning, Maggie had just arrived at her company building when she ran into Glen, who was also just getting to work.
Glen greeted her with a smile,
“Morning.”
“Morning,” Maggie replied.
Just as the words left her mouth, she caught sight of Jimmy.
The moment she saw him, Maggie’s steps faltered ever so slightly.
Glen noticed him too and frowned, clearly displeased.
Jimmy, however, didn’t even glance Glen’s way. He walked straight toward Maggie.
“I just got back early yesterday morning. It’s been a while–I wanted to see you.”
Jimmy truly had no other motive.
He understood her stance and didn’t want to make things harder for her or annoy her.
Seeing the tension in her eyes, he added,
“You’re busy–I won’t stay long. Just wanted to say hi.”
To be honest, Maggie had already said everything there was to say between them.
His sudden appearance left her at a bit of a loss for words.
Since he was being considerate, Maggie didn’t bother with pleasantries. She simply nodded and turned to head
upstairs.
Glen gave Jimmy a long glance before silently following her into the building.
Jimmy watched her walk away, unmoving for a moment. Then he turned back toward his car.
Inside, a bouquet of flowers sat on the seat beside him.
He had originally brought them for her, but judging by her reaction, if he’d actually pulled them out, she probably would’ve been even more put off–and might start avoiding him altogether.

Jimmy let out a helpless smile.
Glen pressed the elevator button, entering the elevator with Maggie.
He glanced at her, but said nothing.
Noticing this, Maggie asked,
“What is it?”
Glen shook his head.
“Nothing.”
But after a moment, he couldn’t help but ask,
“That Mr. Hall… does he ask to see you
often?”
Maggie shook her head,
“No.”
Jimmy’s job came with a demanding schedule and rare holidays. Even if he wanted to meet up, he rarely had the
time.
Maggie’s firm rejection earlier had actually put Glen at ease.
Still, he couldn’t help but worry–if Jimmy pursued her persistently, would she eventually cave?
That train of thought led him to suddenly recall Harry.
As far as Glen knew, Harry also had feelings for Maggie.
But He hadn’t appeared for quite some time, and like Glen himself, he’d never truly pursued her openly.
Why?
Had he given up?
Glen hesitated, then looked at Maggie and finally asked,
“I’m just a little curious…”
“Hmm?”

Glen continued,
“Mr. Hall has a lot going for him, but you don’t seem interested at all. Why is that?”
He wasn’t just asking about Jimmy. He was trying to understand if Maggie had any specific red flags or dealbreakers when it came to relationships–things he should be careful to avoid if he ever had a chance.
