Chapter 613 Maggie's Insistence

The corners of Alex's mouth curled into a bitter smile. "Ms. Grant, you're wasting your time on a man like me."

Maggie tightened her grip on his hand. "It's not a waste of time," she insisted. "I want to. I love you."

There was a pretty blush on her face. Though embarrassed, she was glad she had finally managed to tell Alex how she felt. Even if I got rejected, at least I know I've tried.

She was, by all means, head over heels for Alex. The young man had filled her thoughts all day, every day. She craved for his presence, so much so that she even had a dream about the two of them the night before.

Alex sighed. "You're barking up the wrong tree. You'd be better off finding someone else-someone who's single and available to be in a committed relationship with you."

"Mr. Jefferson, don't be so cruel." Maggie's eyes misted over. "You can choose not to give me your heart, but I'm asking you not to break mine. There's no way I would be able to have eyes for anyone else but you, so please, don't say something like that."

Maybe now's the time to change the subject. Unfortunately for Alex, however, the other spoke up before he could do so.

Without missing a beat, Maggie said, "I do know you, and I'll get to know you even better if you could only give me a chance. It doesn't matter whether you're married or not. I just really want to be with you..." Alex blinked. Is she telling me she's willing to be my mistress? There's no way I'd let that happen! Maggie is a good friend and a valuable business partner. I don't want our relationship to change.

He adopted a serious expression. "Maggie, I'm flattered, really. But even if I were to divorce Heather. I wouldn't be ready for another relationship so soon. It could be three or five years, or possibly even longer. before I even think about finding my next romance. Please don't waste your time on me."

Just then, Auriel, who had been slumbering not far away, stirred.

Not wanting his disciple to catch them in a questionable situation, Alex hurriedly withdrew his hand from
