Maggie leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes as if taking a nap, contemplating what Master Harris wanted to discuss with her.

Most likely, he was talking her into breaking up with Nathael.
However, how the conversation would unfold and what the outcof the talk would be remained a mystery to her.
Despite having lived for two lifetimes, Maggie had only seen this old man on TV and in magazines, never in person.

However, the design incorporated many modern elements and smart technology, blending the best of both worlds.
"Ms. Adam, cwith me, please." The car pulled over, and Maggie got out. It took her a moment to look around.
The area was surrounded by dense green trees, which remained lush even in late autumn, clearly designed. with the changing seasons in mind. The paths through the forest were peaceful, and the flowers and plants were meticulously maintained.
A pavilion stood within the estate, with a walkway leading to a lake. Another pavilion, with a tower in the centre of the lake, offered a view of the entire garden. The intricate carvings and vibrant colours made it feel like stepping back in tto a grand palace.

At the top of the tower, an old man in a silver robe with cloud patterns was fishing.
He didn't turn around when he heard the noise, retaining focused on his fishing rod, waiting for a catch.
The estate exuded a grand and imposing atmosphere as several men dressed in black stood at regular intervals around him, with one guard stationed every few metres apart.
Maggie stood several metres behind the old man, watching quietly. Ten minutes later, the water rippled, and the fishing rod twitched. With a swift motion, the old man reeled in a heavy catch and tossed it into a bucket with a satisfied grin.
A servant quickly stepped forward to take the rod, while the butler handed over a warm towel.
The old man cleaned his hands and then glanced at Maggie, who stood before him.
"Ms. Adam. please take a seat," he said.
Inside the pavilion, a small tea set was placed on a beautifully crafted table of fine rosewood.
It wasn't extravagant, but its understated elegance spoke of significant value.
As Master Harris scrutinised Maggie, she too observed him.
The old man stood tall and slim, his head adorned with silver hair. Even at his old age, he seemed full of energy and life, but the most striking feature about him were his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecause of his age, the skin around his eyes was a bit loose and had lots of wrinkles. His pupils looked a bit cloudy and had a yellowish tint. Still, they had a sharpness to them, like that of a hawk, and seemed to command respect without saying a word.
Master Harris poured a cup of tea for Maggie and spoke warmly, "Try this." "It's a fine spring tea-silver pine.
Maggie didn't refuse him. She took a sip, finding it smooth and aromatic. It was pleasant, leaving a faint fragrance on her lips.
"Master Harris, I doubt you invitedhere just for tea,' she said, meeting his gaze, He didn't waste tand asked directly, "Do you like Nathael?" Maggie didn't deny it. She answered, "Yes, I did." He nodded and said, "You're straightforward. Nathael has always been popular with the ladies." "He's exceptional, better than anyone, Maggie replied softly.
The old man laughed heartily and agreed, "Of course! He's my grandson! How could he be anything less?" Maggie remained silent, but then Master Harris's sharp gaze focused on her. He probed, “Ms. Adam, you should know that someone with Nathael's potentials many options.

Maggie looked at him and asked slowly, "What kind of answer, do you want to hear from me?" The old man chuckled and said, "Ms. Adam, I'm asking you? Her eyes were clear and calm as she responded, "I have no family, no connections, and no power. But I believe Nathael doesn't need any of that." -Master Harris scrutinised her. His pupils, despite their age-induced cloudiness, remained sharp and piercing.
Maggie continued, "He's Nathael Harris. He doesn't need all those things to prove his worth and show his abilities. He has the talent to achieve anything he desires. Even if he weren't born in the Harrises, he'd still reach where he is today-it would just be a matter of time." Master Harris chuckled and pointed out, "But 'time' makes all the difference. In the business world, the carlier you seize the opportunity, the more likely you are to succeed."
Maggie responded confidently, "But Nathael's luck is pretty good, isn't it? He's not late at all x fact, he was born with a head start and stands at a point many people can only dream of reaching." Master Harris spoke again. “I know you're extraordinary, but you and Nathael aren't a good match." Maggie had expected this. After a few moments of silence, she argued softly, "You might not agree with us being together, but you can't decide that we're not a good match." The old man nodded and said, "I'm a businessman. If you have a powerful family or significant resources, you might be a match for Nathael. But you don't.
