Meanwhile, in Jeffryâs car, Maggie was quietly gazing out the window.
Stealing a glance at her, Jeffry asked, âMaggie, are all those people your friends?â
âYes,â Maggie responded.
âThey all seem quite accomplished.
â
Smiling, Maggie gave a nod of agreement.
A hush fell over the car.
From the rearview mirror, Jeffry spotted a car tailing them.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened and he swallowed nervously.
âMaggie, I admire your ambition.
Balancing two jobs at the same time.
I appreciate an ambitious woman.
Maggie replied, âI wonât be working part-time from tomorrow.
â hy?â
âIâm preparing for my postgraduate entrance exam.
I need to concentrate on my studies.
â
Jeffry confessed, âYouâre far more impressive than I am.
â
Maggie just smiled without a word.
The journey continued until they finally reached their destination.
âMaggie, let me accompany you to your apartment,â offered Jeffry.
âNo, thank you.

Maggie reached into her bag, pulling out two hundred dollars to hand to him.
âThank you for your help these past few days, Jeffry.
Please, take it.
I donât want to be in debt to you.
â
Every time he bought breakfast or drove her home, she insisted on compensating him.
âMaggie, thereâs no need for formality between us,â Jeffry responded, somewhat taken aback.
Maggie offered a smile, exited the car, and headed to the apartment complex.
The complex was old.
There were several buildings, none equipped with an elevator
With her bag in hand, Maggie began the trek to her building.
