My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2068

Immersed in some paperwork, Maggie’s cheerful visage danced across his thoughts, a ray of warmth amidst the cold evening.

A gentle smile tugged at his lips, dispelling some of the fatigue that had settled upon him like a heavy shroud.

It was time to go home and have dinner with his girlfriend.

“Mr.

Robles, it’s almost time for your appointment with Mr.

Foster from the Foster Group,” his assistant reminded him, pushing the door open slightly.

“Cancel it,” Sanford instructed firmly, his mind already set on other matters.

With a swift movement, he retrieved his coat and strode purposefully out of the office, anticipation quickening his steps.

As he descended in the elevator to the ground floor, a familiar figure caught his eye.

His smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression.

“Why are you here?” he asked sharply, his voice echoing slightly in the lobby’s quiet.

Jaelyn, standing there with a mixture of hope and sorrow, said, “Sanford, I’m waiting for you.

”

“But why?” His tone icy and eyes narrowing as he scrutinized her.

“I’m leaving.

Can you have dinner with me one last time?” she asked softly with her eyes pleading.

“Sorry, I’m not available.

”

Sanford refused without hesitation and started to walk away.

Jaelyn quickly caught up and grabbed his sleeve.

“Sanford, I know you don’t like me.

I shouldn’t have lied to you over and over again.

After I leave this time, I won’t come back or disturb your life ever again.

But

before I go, I just want to do something for you.

Can you trust me one last time?”

Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked at him with sincerity, her voice breaking slightly.

Sanford paused and observed her face.

“What do you want to do?” he asked in a softened voice with a hint of wariness.

Curiosity stirred within him despite his guarded demeanor.

“Come with me,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Her grip tightened momentarily on his sleeve before letting go.

At Beauty Apartments, Maggie busied herself cleaning up the living room after sending Jaelyn away.

The scent of lavender cleaner filled the air as she meticulously tidied up, finding solace in the routine.

Once the room was spotless, she settled at a table to work on the wedding dress design.

Her pencil danced across the paper, each stroke bringing her vision closer to life.

Time passed quickly when she was immersed in her creation.

When she finally finished the draft, Maggie stretched, feeling the satisfying ache in her arms and back from hours of work.

She glanced out the window and realized it was already dark.

The city lights sparkled against the night sky, a stark reminder that people who had been busy all day were now heading home.

Thinking of Sanford, she smiled softly, warmth spreading through her chest.

She wondered if he was busy.
