Julia furrowed her brow, unsure of why she was asking.


    Before Julia could answer, Maggie smiled gently and said, "What you describe as discussing and


    improving together is something that might happen at home or in school.


    But businesspeople gather for profit; without benefit, there''s no deal. Since there are better options, why should we go out of our way for something that doesn''t serve our interests?" Maggie''s tone was warm, even carrying a smile.

    But Julia''s heart sank upon hearing it.


    She realized, at this moment, she had underestimated Maggie.


    Looking at Maggie, she knew she had made a mistake.

    Maggie pushed the teacup toward Julia, smiling. "Miss Brown, please have some tea."


    Julia hesitated for a moment.


    In this situation, with the tea being pushed toward her, refusing it would be hard to do.


    She picked up the cup and said, "Thank you, Miss Miller."


    "You''re too polite, Miss Brown."


    Johnny had been quietly observing the exchange between them.


    To be honest, he was really worried that Maggie would be bullied by Julia again.


    Hearing how easily Maggie had silenced Julia, he was genuinely surprised.


    After reviewing the documents and finishing the conversation with General Manager, Johnny saw them off downstairs.


    He gave Maggie a thumbs-up and said, "Impressive."


    Maggie lowered her gaze and smiled faintly. "After all, I worked as a secretary at Wilson Group for several years."

    Though many of the important clients at Wilson Group were beyond the reach of ordinary secretaries, over the years, she had dealt with quite a few people and umted some experience. Johnny had momentarily forgotten this detail.


    He asked, "So, was there really a problem with Julia''s proposal?"


    "Yes."


    Although it was quite detailed and the technical content was correct,


    She suspected that Franklin might have personally helped Julia refine the proposal.


    But for some reason, when it came to implementation, there were one or two ws.


    After discussing Julia''s proposal, Maggie asked, "What about Wilson Group?"


    Hearing this, Johnny rubbed his nose and replied, "You know, Franklin is also in our industry. He understands the technology well."


    Wilson Group had plenty of money.


    Its many technical personnel were highly sought-after talents in the industry.


    On top of that, Franklin himself was highly skilled in technology.


    So, the proposal he sent over wasn''t just good; it was... unparalleled.


    This was probably also why Franklin could calmly wait until now to have someonee seeking cooperation.


    Maggie wasn''t surprised after hearing this.


    She said, "When it''s time to make a decision, just judge the matter on its merits."


    Working with a top-notch team would eliminate many worries.


    As for the personal matters between her and Franklin, they were insignificant in the face of business projects.


    In the afternoon, Rex also came to Cole.


    This time, Johnny didn''t meet with him.

    Rex, unable to meet with anyone, left on his own after a short while.


    Not long after Rex left, Harry arrived.


    Johnny and Maggie went to meet with him together.


    After reviewing Harry''s new proposal, Johnny and Maggie exchanged a nce.


    Seeing that their thoughts aligned, Maggie immediately said to Harry, "Mr. Becker, looking forward to a pleasant cooperation."


    Harry noticed that she was in charge of Cole. His gaze shifted subtly between her and Johnny before he stood up to shake their hands. "Pleasant cooperation." They proceeded to discuss the details of the contract.


    As dusk fell outside and the preliminary contract details were almost finalized, Maggie''s phone rang.


    It was a call from Isabe.


    She had called twice in a row.


    Maggie hung up both calls.


    Isabe didn''t call again.


    Meanwhile, Franklin answered his phone.


    Half an hourter, he returned home.


    Isabe was lying in bed receiving an IV drip. Upon seeing him, she weakly called out, "Dad..."


    Franklin sat at the edge of her bed. Seeing that she still had cold sweat on her forehead, he took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it for her. "Does your stomach still hurt?"


    "A little better..."


    Though she was slightly improved, the pain was still there.


    Franklin didn''t scold her for eating recklessly. Seeing that, aside from her physical difort, she also seemed in a bad mood, he asked, "Would you like me to call Aunt Julie toe over and see you?" Inthe past, if Franklin had said this, she would have eagerly agreed.

    But now, she grabbed his hand and shook her head. "I want Mommy toe back and see me."


    Though she loved Aunt Julie, when she felt unwell, the first person she thought of was always her mother.


    She hoped the person staying with her right now was Mommy.


    Franklin heard this and said, "Okay."


    He didn''t pull his hand away, but took his phone and dialed Maggie''s number.


    Maggie had just finished discussing the contract with Harry and was preparing to go out for dinner when she saw Franklin''s call.


    Remembering the two missed calls from Isabe earlier, Maggie hesitated for a moment before answering. "Hello?"


    Franklin: "Isabe has mild food poisoning. She''s at home receiving an IV. She wants to see you."
