---- Chapter 297 She looked at him, then took the bottle. "Thanks." He smiled, then leaned over slightly and began whispering to her about some of the technical points Johnny and Franklin had mentioned earlier. She lowered her voice too, and the two of them quietly chatted. The rapport between them was hard to miss. Julia had noticed it back at the restaurant. Glen had been sitting next to Maggie the whole time, seemingly sticking close on purpose. But was that really the case?


    She knew exactly how Glen felt about her. He had switched his major to Al because of her. He had even returned to America for her.

Since he''de all this way, they couldn''t exactly m the door in his face. So they gave him a symbolic ten-minute audience... and then showed him out. After that, Smith kept trying to schedule another meeting. Neither of them responded
