Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1704

The weather began to turn chilly in autumn and the maple and ginkgo trees lining the streets of J City were a riot of color. It was arguably the most beautiful time of the year.

Charlie had some morning engagements and by the time he returned to the office, it was noon. As he exited the elevator and made his way to the breakroom, he paused.

The bookshelf next to the breakroom parted to reveal the kitchen where a girl in a white blouse was busily preparing something. The sweet aroma of pizza wafted out from the kitchen, the scent of cheese rich in the air.

Charlie stood frozen for a moment, until the girl turned and jumped in surprise at seeing him. She quickly composed herself and gave him an appeasing smile, "Mr. James, I hope you don't mind me using the kitchen?"

Charlie looked at her, his gaze clearing and a gentle smile tugging at his lips, "Not at all, Maggie."

He made his way into the breakroom, and Maggie followed, asking in a respectful and soft voice, "Mr. James, can I get you something to drink?"

"A cup of coffee," Charlie replied, leaning against the counter and pulling out his cellphone to check messages.

While Maggie prepared his coffee, she stole glances at Charlie. Turning back to him, she offered with a warm smile, "Mr. James, have you eaten yet? I made pizza, would you like to try some? It's a store-bought base but I added my own toppings. It's pretty good."

Charlie accepted his coffee, his voice light and pleasant, "I'm good, thank you. You can enjoy that."

"Oh, okay then."

Maggie's smile faltered, a hint of disappointment crossing her face as she watched Charlie walk into his office, coffee in hand.
