---- Chapter 302 Maggie nodded and took a seat on the sofa by the coffee table. Franklin gave an order, "Have someone bring in coffee." Jake replied, "Already arranged." As he finished speaking, Sherry knocked and entered with a tray of coffee. She paused when she saw who was in the room. "Maggie?" Sherry had taken over Maggie''s position after she left Wilson Group. Since then, they''d had almost no contact. Maggie smiled and nodded.


    "Long time no see." "Long time no see," Sherry echoed with a smile. But the setting wasn''t right for a long chat. She ced the coffee in front of both Maggie and Franklin, then turned to leave. Just as she reached the door, as if remembering something, she turned back and reported a few work matters to Franklin. After listening, he said, "Got it. I''ll be free this afternoon. Have hime by before three." ---- "Understood." Sherry nodded, smiled once more at Maggie, and hurried off.


    Maggie stirred her coffee slowly, watching. As the head of the secretarial department, Sherry reporting directly to Franklin was perfectly normal. But back when Maggie had been in that position, she had been strictly limited tomunicating only with his two official secretaries. In the two-plus years she served as team leader, she was only ever allowed into Franklin''s office to deliver coffee-and only when Chad and the others were swamped. As for reporting work directly? Not even once.


    Franklin had truly kept her at arm''s length. Thinking back, she took a sip of the coffee She remembered how, just before she resigned, Sherry had asked her for tips on brewing coffee-and how she''d taken the time to teach her properly. Yet this cup didn''t taste like what she''d taught ---- She took another sip. The vor was a bit off, but still quite good.


    When she set her cup down, she noticed Franklin also drinking his, clearly satisfied Back then, she had foolishly felt special because Franklin only liked the coffee she brewed. But now she realized... It was just coffee. When one vor''s gone, you move on to the next. It wasn''t that important.
