“Okay, I'll go and pay the bill."

“That's all right; I've already taken care of it."

Maggie gathered her purse and led the way to the entrance of the restaurant. She intended to say goodbye and part ways with Jeffry there.

“Are you going back to downtown Wragos? I have a car, and I'm also headed that way. Let me drive you," Jeffry piped up before she could bid him farewell. thanks. I can just take the bus.” Maggie declined politely.

“Come on, Maggie. We used to be classmates. Why are you so quick to reject my offer? Let me take you; we're going the same way, anyway.”

Without giving her another chance to protest, Jeffry ushered Maggie toward his car and stuffed her into the passenger seat.

Maggie considered her options and eventually thought that it might not be so bad to hitch a free ride.

They chatted along the way, much Like old friends would.

Maggie knew that Jeffry had failed the college entrance exams before.

Now, he was working as a salesman in a factory that his uncle owned.

Maggie gave him a few words of encouragement and shared that she was an intern at S.W. Studio.

The minutes flew by as they talked, and soon enough, they were at Beauty Apartments.

“Thank you for driving me back, Jeffry." Maggie got out of the car and waved goodbye at him.

“Okay. If you need anything, don‘t hesitate to call me. Take care, Maggie."

Jeffry watched her walk away. The moment she disappeared into the gated community, the smile faded from his face and a sinister Light entered his eyes.

Meanwhile, Maggie exited the elevator on Sanford's floor and made a beeline for his door. She entered the apartment and heard the sound of the shower coming from the bedroom.

Her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes flew to the suitcase left by the door and knew that Sanford was back.

She thought back to the photos of him and Yana, then took a deep breath before settling down on the sofa.

Even now, she couldn't bring herself to believe that he had really slept with that vicious woman!

The sound of water stopped. Sanford padded out of the bedroom, wiping his hair with a bath towel.

Maggie shot up to her feet.

"You're back."
