As Margaret said that, she grabbed her phone and pressed the phone number for Madelyn to see.
Madelyn immediately recognized the phone number. She thought, 'If he already has an answer, there's no need for us to contact each other unnecessarily again.
'He's indeed a very good man. But maybe we aren't destined to be together.’ Madelyn made wholehearted efforts in every kind of relationship she was in. She had no regrets.
Three days later, at six in the evening, Madelyn wore a plain black hooded coat and light-colored sports pants. The weather was still cold, so she wore a few pieces of clothes. She was not really dolled up. However, she applied some light-colored lipstick to make herself look better.

The scheduled driver arrived at the door. When Madelyn fastened her seatbelt, she was thinking about getting a driver's license when she was free so that it would be more convenient to go out every day.
She encountered the evening peak traffic when she was on her way to the award ceremony held by SkyTech.
Not only will the top executives of SkyTech be attending the ceremony, but top executives from several partner companies will attend, too.
The award ceremony was held at Celestial Hotel, a five-star hotel.
At the banquet venue, Ethan sat in the main seat in the audience. A woman with long, red, curly hair was sitting beside him. She wore a black strapless gown. She appeared assertive and extravagant. The diamond tassel earrings she was wearing reached her shoulders. She had a very aggressive look.
In addition, her stunning tattoo on her neck down to her chest was also very eye-catching.
The person in charge, sitting on Ethan's right, reminded him, "Mr. Arnold, it's been an hour. When should we start?" Donna played with her fingernails out of boredom, "I heard that Madelyn is the only awardee. You're not waiting for her, are you?" Ethan did not respond. His gaze was intimidating and gloomy. He stared at the stage and said, "Let's start now." No one expected the CEO of the Arnold Corporation to attend this insignificant award ceremony. Moreover, SkyTech was just a recently established company. It was unbelievable.
Although SkyTech was a new company, it was the only one with the opportunity to collaborate with the Arnold Corporation. Not only did SkyTech manage to secure the investment, but it also gained access to the Arnold Corporation's resources. This made the prospects of SkyTech limitless.
The host went on stage and concluded the employee meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince there was only one awardee for this ceremony, the award presentation was saved for last.
The host went down the stage and asked his colleagues from the same company, "What's going on? It's already this late. Why hasn't she arrived yet?" A female colleague answered, "We couldn't reach her by phone. We're still trying to contact her." The host remarked, "Better be quick. After Mr. Arnold finishes his speech, he'll present the award personally. It'll be embarrassing for us if she doesn't arrive by then." The colleagues concurred, "Okay." Ethan took the microphone. He crumpled the speech note and threw it aside, "I've nothing to say. Let's move on to the next segment. My time is very valuable." At that moment, everyone was terrified because the awardee had not arrived.
When Madelyn arrived, it was already past seven in the evening.
In the final minute, the main doors of the venue were opened. However, the person who appeared was a calm young man in a white cardigan. It was Kennedy! Madelyn appeared shortly after. She was panting. She did not like being in the spotlight. She suddenly felt overwhelmed when she noticed so many people were looking at her.
Kennedy said, "Go. You can do it." Madelyn glanced at Kennedy. She did not expect him to be here.
Kennedy had his work badge on. After hearing his encouragement, Madelyn took a deep breath and walked in.
The host quickly invited Madelyn onto the stage.
