Chapter 778 Ran Into
Donald's surprise was absolutely genuine.
If it weren't for Maggie bringing him here, he probably would never have come to a place like this in his entire life.
Fiorello didn't seem like the type to frequent such a night market street either.
People like Donald usually traveled with beautiful women, enjoyed luxury yachts, high-end clubs, golf courses, or underground boxing rings.
Maggie retorted, "Why can't he come here? Before I met Fiorello, I used to set up a stall here."
Maggie wanted Donald to know that she wasn't some noble lady or an upper-class socialite.
She was just an ordinary person.
Donald didn't know this; he only knew that Maggie didn't come from a good background.
Maggie carried the label of Mrs. Maggie Flores; she was merely an accessory to Fiorello. Some people couldn't even remember her name, only that she was Mrs. Maggie Flores, and that she had a stunningly beautiful face.
Marrying into nobility and being beautiful were necessary conditions.
Only those who had truly interacted with Maggie knew that this woman was anything but simple.
She was like an uncut gem, full of surprises and beauty.
Maggie took a sip of coffee and continued, "Donald, do you see that area up ahead with the stalls? I used to be like that, selling handmade jewelry. I studied jewelry design, but I've completely given up on that profession. Now, I think every day about how to run the company well; thousands of employees are waiting for their paychecks. I have to live up to Fiorello."
Donald praised, "Maggie, there aren't many people I, Donald, admire. You definitely count as one, and you're the first woman I admire. I also believe that our joint project will be very successful."
Maggie smiled and raised her coffee cup, "Here's to a successful collaboration."
"To a successful collaboration." Donald picked up his now-cold coffee, clinked cups with Maggie, and laughed, "This is the first time I've discussed business over coffee."
Maggie laughed, "Drinking coffee keeps you alert, Donald. No need to worry about being drugged."
This made Donald feel awkward. Thinking about last night, he apologized again, "Last night, I was set up, Maggie. I'm sorry for the trouble."
In fact, it was Maggie who had implicated Donald. She knew that Michael had set the trap and that it had nothing to do with Donald. Otherwise, she wouldn't have met with Donald again to discuss the South Bay project.
"I just heard from Caleb that last night was indeed a misunderstanding about Donald." Maggie glanced at Caleb beside her, deliberately saying this for Donald to hear. She knew the real reason better than anyone, but she couldn't say it.
"That Michael is despicable. I've dealt with him, and you'll never see him again." Donald was still very angry when he mentioned Michael. After being drugged last night, he ended up with a skinny, unattractive woman.
She extorted $100,000 from him, and to get the photos back from the reporter and prevent them from ruining his reputation, he spent hundreds of thousands more to buy the photos.
He wasn't afraid of being called shameless; he was afraid people would question his taste, thinking he could be with such an ordinary woman.
Maggie didn't continue the topic. She looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, Donald. Let's call it a day. I'll have Caleb go to your company to sign the contract tomorrow. It's the weekend, and I need to be home with the kids."
After several busy days, Maggie also wanted to rest.
"No problem." Donald was straightforward.
Caleb had already paid the bill. Maggie said goodbye to Donald and left with Caleb.
It was already past midnight, and Maggie was really tired. She closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got in the car.
The car drove out of the food street, and after about a hundred meters, they ran into Fiorello buying skewers by the roadside.
When Fiorello saw the car approaching, he instinctively stepped aside and looked at the car.
Just as Fiorello's gaze fell on the car, Maggie, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes abruptly.
