Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 331: The Banquet

The two talked all morning and finally finalized the project. After several hours

together, Magnus became increasingly perplexed-who was she, really?

"The preliminary details of the project are set then. It's getting late; I should be going," Tina said, preparing to leave.

"It's also time for lunch; why not eat before you go?"

Magnus suggested, trying to persuade her to stay, but Tina showed no intention of lingering.

"No need, I have another appointment, Mr. Montgomery. Goodbye."

With those words, she rose swiftly, and Magnus hurried after her.

Her car was parked across the street in a garage. As they crossed the road, Magnus subconsciously walked on her left side.

She had always feared crossing busy streets, and back then, Magnus never mocked her but would hold her hand each time they crossed.

Tina watched him silently move to her side, a gesture reminiscent of the past, but their relationship could never return to what it once was.

"That's far enough, Mr. Montgomery. I'll have my company's staff coordinate with you for the follow-up," she said as she stood by her car to say goodbye.

Magnus repeatedly gazed at her familiar face, wishing he could reach out and hold her, but all he did was open the car door for her.

Tina didn't say much more, not even glancing at Magnus as she left. Magnus watched the car drive away, taking a piece of his heart with it.

"President, who exactly is this lady? Why do you treat her differently?"

his secretary finally asked.

"Go check Tina's background for me; I want to see if she has really been living in Chicago all this time," Magnus said, staring in the direction of the now-vanished car.

He couldn't believe there was another person who looked exactly like her, even down to the mole near her eye.

"Yes, President."
