Love Began with the First Meeting

Sitting in front of the bay window of Edgar's apartment, Jenifer held a steaming cup of coffee. The dun brew reached her nose and she inhaled deeply.

The sunshine settled on her through the clean windows.

She bathed in the golden sunshine, which made her look even more graceful and gorgeous. She was radiant, just like an angel.

"Creak!"

The sound of the door disturbed the peace of the apartment. It was Edgar, returning from work. Jenifer turned to look back at Edgar with bitterness in her heart. Sometimes his work seemed more important than her. She simply raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically,"You're so busy. Do you know how many days it's been since you've been home?"

Edgar took a look at Jenifer, without answering her question. He said coldly,"I came back for some papers." He focused on something else now, and had no time to mollify her.

Without another word, Edgar walked into his study.

Jenifer stood up from the window seat, put her unfinished coffee on the table, and headed for the study. She leaned lazily against the door, watching Edgar searching his bookcase. Until she saw Edgar frowning, she said in disdain,"I take it you're looking for the papers on Mr. Brian Long. Something to do with the investigation?"

Now all his attention was focused on her, not to mention his anger. "I told you not to touch the papers in the study!"

"I've already seen them. So?" Jenifer defiantly folded her arms, not in fear but in anger.

Instead of answering Jenifer's question, Edgar said coldly,"Give me the papers!"

"Oh! Those? I threw them out. Less clutter, you know?"

Edgar narrowed his eyes in anger and said,"Woman, you've forgotten who you are!"

Jenifer remained defiant. "And you've forgotten why you came to this city in the first place!" Jenifer stood up angrily, looked at Edgar coldly, and asked,"What have you been doing for more than a month? Have you forgotten what grandpa told you? Why are you spending all your time building bridges and roads, not to mention caring about Molly? Huh! Edgar, you're here for your mission, not for Molly!"

"So you're lecturing to me now?" Edgar looked at Jenifer and said with contempt,"I can do whatever I want. My appointment with Major General Zeng has nothing to do with you!"
