Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1338 Extra Story 93 Of Edgar No Personal Consideration

Looking at the dean of student affairs, Maggie asked in confusion, "You mean..." Gently dropping a stack of papers in front of Maggie, the dean said, "Have a look!"

Maggie reached out for the papers, then she lowered her eyes and looked through them suspiciously. What the dean had thrown to her was her report on her internship. The first part of the report had been written by herself, so she didn't need to read that part and she immediately paged to the latter part of the report.

There was nothing wrong with Cathy's comment. She praised Maggie effusively. As she read Cathy's comment, a complacent smile gradually formed at the corners of Maggie's mouth.

Then came Daniel's comment, the person in charge of their operations training. Without much rhetoric, he mainly described her performance based on the facts. However, she was quite pleased to read his final conclusion. "This student has shown perfect qualities in physique and mental capacity, with an outstanding military capability, and is worth training!"

As soon as she read the sentence, the smile on Maggie's lips broadened and she felt a great sense of warmth towards the two officers. However, when she read Edgar's comment, Maggie was dumbfounded. The smile froze on her face and then slid off to form a bitter scowl.

He criticized her for having no sense of time, a resistant mentality towards her leaders, and overcompensating in rectifying her behavior, or something like that. Maggie felt like a mouthful of thick blood was stuck in her throat. She almost choked on his sharp words. Following that was William's comment. On the whole, he agreed with Edgar's opinion. Devastated, she continued turning the pages. There was no more comment from higher leadership. Instead, there was a decision made by a group of leaders through discussion. The decision indicated that she would have little hope of securing placement at the Eagle Special Brigade after graduation.

Maggie pursed her lips in frustration. She didn't deny that she had the defects as described by Edgar in his comment, because she had shown such performance during her internship. William only agreed with Edgar because he wouldn't let personal considerations interfere with the execution of his duty as the leader of the army. She was willing to accept their criticism, but she couldn't accept the very real possibility that she would not be able to join the Eagle Special Brigade after graduation. This would mean that she would not be with Edgar, possibly for the rest of her career!

"As you can see, the higher leadership hasn't commented yet," the dean said while gazing at her seriously. "According to my experience, they probably want to further observe your performance. After all, our college, Instructor Cathy, and Captain Daniel of Falcon Commando all speak so highly of you. The higher leadership will also pay attention to your report on the impact of changing the ballistic curve on firing range this time. I think that's why they have reserved giving their comment on you."

After secretly drawing a deep breath, Maggie set the report which she still held in her hands back on the desk. Gazing at the dean, she asked, "Sir, do you mean that it might still be possible for me to join the Eagle Special Brigade if I can complete the research on this subject?"

With a nod, the dean said, "I have read your report and all the comments. To join the Eagle Special Brigade is a common dream for many people. Of course their leaders are strict on their members and require much of new recruits. Captain Edgar... now we can call him Instructor Edgar. His words sound harsh, but he just puts a finger on all of your weak spots. You'd better not resent him. Under the conditions which the Eagle faces, only brave people can survive, so they don't permit any deviation."

Hearing what he said, Maggie began formulating a new plan. In fact, her defects, as listed by Edgar, were completely true. As long as she wanted to be together with him, she would become extremely anxious and eager to achieve her aims. "Yes!" Maggie answered after standing at attention. "I won't disappoint our college or the higher leadership."

Seeing that Maggie's fighting spirit was renewed, the dean said with a happy smile, "I'm glad to see your fighting spirit. First off though, you may try to win first place in the coming examination. All right. You may leave now."

"Yes!" Maggie answered eagerly. After giving the dean a salute, she turned around and marched out of the office. As soon as she gently closed the door, she gritted her teeth and fished her cellphone out of her pocket. As quickly as she could, she sent a text message to Edgar.

"Instructor Edgar, I hope we can be scrupulous in separating public from private interests at the college from now on!" Grinding her teeth, she hit "send."

When the message reached Edgar's cellphone, he was tidying up his dormitory which the college had just arranged for him. Noticing that the cellphone had buzzed, he unlocked the screen. While reading Maggie's message, he was unaware of the faint smile which appeared on his normally stern face. He had no difficulty in imagining just what Maggie's face looked like at that moment.

Earlier when he was on his way to the dormitory, he had come across the staff member who had been returning with the reports of the students on internship at basic level units this year, which had been examined by the higher leadership. Perhaps it was because Maggie was too well-known in the college that the report on the top was hers. The report had also been the first among the reports of the four students who had stayed at the Eagle Special Brigade to be returned to S Army, and the first he had read. Although Cathy and Daniel had written their comments before him and obviously they both hoped that Maggie could return to the Eagle Special Brigade, he had his own considerations.

Maggie was stubborn and rebellious as most young people were. She was the type of person who liked facing difficulties and challenges. She would not cherish anything she could get easily. At least the development of her relationship with him had proven his judgment correct.

"Edgar, what makes you so happy?" a teacher who was helping Edgar tidy up the room asked after placing the pillow on the chair. With curiosity, he looked at Edgar, the legendary man who seemed to be easy-going but in fact always kept others at an effective distance. Restraining the smile which was threatening at the corners of his mouth, Edgar answered lightly, "My wife is asking me if I will have dinner with her this evening."

The teacher was stunned and speechless for a moment. Then he asked for confirmation, "Your wife?"

"Hmm!" Edgar answered with a nod in an indifferent manner.

When the teacher heard Edgar's confirmation, his eyes flared open, as if he could not believe his ears. After momentarily digesting the shocking news, he asked curiously, "Edgar, I heard that you were single. Is that not true now?" It was said in S Army Edgar's being a bachelor still was a huge, long-standing problem which needed to be solved. Almost everybody in military circles had heard of it. The teacher thought, 'When did he get a wife? Why haven't I been told about that by the female teachers who are always gossiping in the office?' Seeing the curiosity displayed all over the teacher's face, Edgar still managed to keep his indifferent attitude in place. He only wore a faint smile at the corners of his mouth as he said, "My wife and I hadn't obtained our marriage certificate until the day before yesterday. Our wedding hasn't taken place yet."00000000☐☐☐☐
