---- Their stance was clear. Unable to make headway with them, Smith invited Julia out for dinner instead. Over appetizers, they chatted about the industry for a bit, before he shifted topics. "If you''d joined Colest year, I think you''d have made huge progress by now. A missed opportunity." Thest time they met, he''d asked about her current situation. At the time, he hadn''tmented. But now, the regret in his tone was obvious. Julia understood the subtext.

She believed that too. That was the whole reason she''d wanted to join them in the first ce. But she hadn''t expected Cole to rise so fast, so far. ---- If she''d gotten inst year?
She might''ve already gained the kind of technical foundation to run her family''s techpany solo. Now, looking back, she realized that Maggie blocking her wasn''t just about people-it was about power. About potential Smith stirred his wine ss, then asked, "Still thinking about joining Cole?" Of course she was. But as long as Johnny stayed loyal to Maggie, she''d never have that chance. Not that she''d say that out loud. Instead, she offered a diplomatic smile. "I have my ownpany now.

She was just about to say yes when Madam Wilson added, "I''l be bringing Franklin and Isabe along. You don''t mind, do you?"
