Old Lady Miller had some friends and family from X City come to the capital to visit her.
In the morning, after Maggie had finished her meeting, the old lady called and asked her to join them for
a meal.
Standing by the elevator, Maggie was waiting for it to arrive when Charlie Lane, the newly hired general
manager at Cole, along with Franklin, Chad, and the others, walked toward the elevator as well.
Seeing her, Charlie was the first to greet her. âMiss Miller.â
Maggie nodded in acknowledgment. Charlie wasnât sure whether Maggie knew Franklin.
However, he knew that during the few days Franklin had been at Cole for business talks, it seemed like
Maggie and Franklin had never met.
Seeing that Maggie didnât greet Franklin when she noticed him, Charlie assumed she didnât recognize him
and thus introduced him. âMiss Miller, this is Mr. Wilson from Wilson Group.â
Then, he turned to Franklin and said, âThis is Miss Miller from Coleâs R&D department.â Maggie didnât
look at Franklin. She simply said, âI know.â
Franklin, however, glanced at her and said to Charlie, âNo need to introduce us. Weâre quite familiar.â
Charlie froze for a moment. He looked at both of them, then back to Maggie.
Quite familiar? Sorry, but he really couldnât tell.
Not voicing his thoughts, he awkwardly chuckled and said, âI seeâ¦â
Maggie didnât say anything. Franklin smiled and didnât speak further either.
Charlie: ââ¦â
At this point, he finally understoodâMaggie clearly didnât want to interact with Franklin.
This was quite consistent with what heâd seen from Johnny as well. He wasnât sure what kind of past there might be between Franklin, Maggie, and Johnny.
Howeverâ¦

Franklin wasnât an ordinary person. The company was about to cooperate with him, yet both Maggie and Johnny had treated him with such indifference.
Despite this, it seemed like Franklin didnât mind their cold attitudes⦠Thinking this, Charlie didnât know whether to feel relieved or troubled.
Just as he was about to break the silence, Franklinâs phone rang. He quickly answered it. âYouâve arrived?
Iâll come down now.â
After Franklin hung up, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Charlie smiled and said, âMiss Brown is here to pick you up for a meal again? You and Miss Brown have such a good relationship.â
Franklin smiled, just as he was about to reply, his phone rang again. Seeing that it was something important, Charlie didnât press the issue.
When the elevator reached the ground floor, Maggie didnât look back as she stepped out first.
She walked out the door, heading for the parking lot, and saw Julia waiting by the car.
Their gazes met.
Juliaâs eyes were cold and indifferent when she saw her. Maggie was the first to look away and walked
towards her car.
Julia also shifted her gaze, and only when she saw Franklin behind Maggie did her expression soften.
As Maggie got into her car and was about to drive away, she noticed Julia handing her car keys to Chad, then getting into Franklinâs car.
Maggie retracted her gaze and drove off, putting Franklin and Juliaâs situation out of her mind.
At the restaurant, after finishing the meal and seeing Old Lady Miller and the others off to their car, Maggie was about to get into her own car and head back to the office when she saw Rex coming out of the
restaurant.
As soon as Rex saw her, his brow instinctively furrowed.
The last time he had met Maggie was when Franklin came to Cole to find her.
In the time since, he wasnât sure if there had been further developments between Maggie and Franklin, but he had heard that the two companies were working together now.
He wondered if this opportunity would lead to something more between them⦠Although he didnât say

anything, the frown that appeared when he saw her told Maggie everything the needed to know about
his thoughts.
Without greeting him, she simply got into her car and drove away. Rex also got into his car and returned
to the office.
His negotiations with the Brown family were already in progress. Around 3 pm, his secretary came over
and said, âMr. Hardin, Miss Brown has arrived.â
Rex paused. âMiss Brown?â
âYes,â the secretary confirmed. âMiss Brown said that her father caught a cold, so sheâs here in his place to discuss todayâs business cooperation.â
At this, Rexâs eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. He immediately stood up and quickly headed toward
the meeting room.
When he entered, Julia immediately apologized. âSorry, my father is unwell, so Iâm here in his place to discuss the cooperation-â
Rex replied, âNo problem.â
Julia didnât miss the trace of happiness in his eyes. She smiled faintly and subtly shifted her gaze ancay
After the cooperation discussion ended, Rex seized the opportunity to ask, âMiss Brown, do you have time later? Would you like to have a meal together?â
Julia shook her head with a smile. âI have a racing competition in the next few days, and I need to train an the track later. Maybe next time.â
Rex knew that Julia was a racer. However, since he had met her, she hadnât participated in any races.
In fact, heâd even searched for videos of her races online and watched them repeatedly on his phone.
That meant he hadnât yet seen her race in person. Now, hearing that she would be training today, he really wanted to go and watch her.
Butâ¦
Since she would be training with Franklin, he figured he didnât need to ask. After thinking about it, he simply replied, âNext time then.â
Julia nodded, exchanged pleasantries with him, and then left. As soon as she left, Rexâs phone rang. It was

Yves Jolly. âJimmy has the day off today. Want to get together later?â
Rex instantly had an idea and replied, âSure, but⦠letâs not go to the bar this time. How about we change places?â
Yves sounded interested. âSure, where are we going?â
âWeâre going to watch a race.â âA race?â Yves was intrigued. âAlright!â
After finding out where Julia would be training, Rex had dinner with Yves and Jimmy, then they drove to the training location.
