Chapter 578


    Upon entering Sanford’s apartment, Maggie switched on the lights. As she surveyed the empty space,


    a wave of loneliness washed over her unexpectedly.


    It had only been a few days since she met Sanford, yet she had grown ustomed to his presence.


    She had grown ustomed to his embrace each night.


    She had grown ustomed to pleasing and satisfying him.


    Sitting on the sofa, Maggie retrieved her phone, hesitating for a moment before sending a message to


    Sanford.


    “Have you arrived?”


    But as soon as she hit send, Maggie swiftly withdrew the message.


    It seemed suspicious to inquire about his whereabouts, as if she were checking up on him.


    After all, they were not in a serious rtionship. She should patiently await his attention and avoid


    prying into his movements.


    Maggie felt a tightness in her chest, and just as she was about to step into the shower, her phone


    began to ring.


    It was Sanford calling.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she cleared her throat before answering the call.


    “Sanford.”


    “What message did you send earlier? Why did you withdraw it?” Sanford asked gently.


    Maggie bit her lip. “It’s nothing.”

    “What did you send?” Sanford inquired once more.


    “Oh, I just wanted to know if you had arrived,” Maggie hastily replied, afraid that he might grow


    impatient.


    “Yes, I have. I’m currently at the hotel, and I’m leaving to discuss the cooperation,” Sanford responded.


    Maggie nodded obediently, though he couldn’t see her.


    There was a brief silence on the phone, during which their shallow breaths became audible.


    Suddenly, both of them found themselves at a Loss for words.


    Maggie tightened her grip on the phone. “Well, take care of yourself. Don’t overexert or drink too


    much.”
