Chapter 440
---- Yes, she'd published a well-received paper. But that had come after Cole had already established global recognition. Listening to this speech, anyone who didn't know better would've thought Cole had been her blood, sweat, and tears. Yes, she was on stage as a representative. But really, she was only accepting the award on behalf of Johnny. ---- The award had nothing to do with her personally. After the speeches concluded, Maggie, Franklin, and the others left the stage.
The event lasted about three hours in total. As it wrapped up, Maggie prepared to leave. Seeing this, Harry stepped around Franklin and walked toward her. "Heading out?" However, Maggie had gained quite a bit of recognition in the business world lately, and a number of attendees came over to chat with her. She couldn't get away immediately. She and Harry were both quickly surrounded by people. Franklin, too, was soon engaged in conversation by a small group. Rex knew Julia was also here.
When he saw that Franklin hadn't gone to her directly after the conference, he walked ---- over himself. Julia greeted him with a light smile. "[ didn't see you earlier, Mr. Hardin. I thought maybe you weren't planning to attend in person this time." "Had something come up midway. Got delayed." As they spoke, his eyes drifted toward Franklin-who, at some point, had ended up standing next to Maggie again. His brows drew together slightly. Julia had been watching too.noveldrama
She was even more tuned in to the way Franklin and Maggie interacted-and she'd already noticed the shift. Before she could say anything, Rex spoke up. "Shall we head over that way?" Julia smiled faintly. "T still have a few things to discuss with some people. I can't step away just yet. But if you have something to take care of, feel free to go ahead."
