Chapter 126 The Homeowner's Information Exposed
Farrell stood still and watched Maggie's figure for a while. Maggie and Emily walked towards the design department, chatting and laughing. Maggie's voice was gentle, her appearance striking, and her smile infectious.
Farrell couldn't help but smile, wishing Maggie was his date. When this thought crossed his mind, something changed in Farrell's heart.
As Maggie returned to her office seat, she realized that she had rushed to the restaurant earlier and hadn't had time to tidy up her design drafts. While Maggie tidied up her design drafts, Emily noticed and exclaimed, "Wow, these are beautiful, Maggie! Did you design them?"
Maggie smiled and replied, "Yes, just some spontaneous sketches. I used to sell them when I felt inspired."
"You're amazing, Maggie," Emily praised. "No wonder your designs are so good. I love this bracelet."
Maggie chuckled and said, "But it's not practical."
Selena hardly gave Maggie a chance to showcase her talents, assigning her menial tasks like receiving clients. The wealthy ladies and socialites who sought Selena's jewelry designs were not easy to please.
Emily encouraged, "You'll get your chance eventually, Maggie."
Maggie smiled. She had already embarrassed Selena before, so this outcome was somewhat expected. Maggie was busy until the end of the workday, and Selena piled on more tasks. By the time she got home, it was already ten at night.
Maggie checked her phone and saw that Fiorello hadn't sent her any messages. Assuming Fiorello must be busy, Maggie didn't dwell on it and decided to take a bath before going to bed.
Dulcinea had asked Maggie to go to the beauty salon for some treatments the next day. She had a friend who owned a beauty salon, making it convenient. Dulcinea used to take Maggie there frequently, and it was all free as long as Maggie went. Feeling guilty, Maggie had stopped going after just two visits.
Lately, she had been staying up late often, so her skin wasn't in the best condition. Now that Maggie was married and starting to pay attention to her appearance, she agreed to go to the beauty salon with Dulcinea.
The next day, Maggie woke up early. After finishing breakfast, Fiorello messaged her.
Fiorello: [Lazy baby, are you awake?]
Maggie looked at her phone and giggled.
Maggie: [You're the lazy one. I'm already awake and having breakfast.]
Maggie snapped a picture of her breakfast and sent it over.
Fiorello: [I'll be back in a few days. If you get bored, you can go shopping with Aunt Eleanor or your mom.]
Maggie smiled as she replied.
Maggie: [I'm heading to Dulce's beauty salon for skincare later.]
Fiorello: [Okay.]
Even those few words from Fiorello put Maggie in a good mood.
After breakfast, as Maggie prepared to leave, the doorbell rang. She opened it to find a strange woman standing there. "Your place is leaking water, and it's soaking through my roof. My newly renovated home is ruined," the woman complained.
"My place is leaking?" Maggie looked puzzled and quickly checked the bathroom. Indeed, water had overflowed, flooding the entire bathroom. It was her old bedroom. After moving to Fiorello's bedroom, she rarely entered this room. She didn't even know when the faucet had broken.
Maggie quickly apologized to the neighbor downstairs. "I'm so sorry, I'll take care of it right away." She rushed to shut off the faucet, but no matter what she tried, it wouldn't close. Eventually, she had to turn off the main valve. Unable to clean up the water in her own home, she went downstairs to assess the damage to her neighbor's property.
The woman was furious. "Look at this, the roof is leaking too. I renovated the house for my son's wedding, but I haven't been here for two days, and now it's all soaked. The wedding is approaching, it's a disaster."
"Madam, I'm truly sorry. I have no idea why the faucet broke. I promise to compensate you so you won't suffer any losses." Maggie had been too exhausted last night. She had taken a shower and immediately went to bed, so she genuinely hadn't been aware of the leak.
Facing such a disastrous situation, Maggie understood the woman's anger was justified. Now she could only try her best to make amends and resolve the issue promptly. However, the woman was relentless. She demanded Maggie resolve the problem immediately without delaying her son's wedding.
Maggie first reassured the woman and then went to find the property management. Water seepage in a building was a serious matter that required cooperation from the property management. Maggie also needed to inform the landlord that the faucet breaking was not due to negligence on her part, so the landlord shared some responsibility.
Not having the landlord's contact information and not wanting to bother Fiorello with these matters, she approached the property management directly. "Could you please help me find the contact information of the owner of Unit 802 on the 8th floor of Building 3? His property is leaking water. My husband has the landlord's contact information, but he's not at home, so I have to trouble you."
The property staff replied, "Of course, right away. Please wait a moment."
