Chapter 132
Maggie said, “I’m thirsty.”
She continued drinking without a care.
Lohnny: “…”
The CEO’s gossiping soul was still active, and he continued, “Wasn’t it President Wilson who gave Miss Brown a project to manage on her own?”
Johnny: “…Mm.”
CEO: “Miss Brown is probably handling such a big project for the first time. She’s worried she won’t manage it well, so her team has been working overtime the whole weekend. I heard they even worked until past ten last night.”
Johnny’s tone became cold. “Oh.”
“To be honest, Miss Brown is really responsible. She didn’t take the project lightly just because she’s President Wilson’s girlfriend.”
Johnny sneered, “Isn’t it because she lacks ability, and that’s why so many people are staying late with her?”
The CEO understood his meaning.
Everyone has to grow, right?”

“Maybe,” Johnny said indifferently, glancing at Maggie. “When our Mag hosted the company’s major project for the first time, she handled it flawlessly.”
The CEO, having worked with Maggie a few times, now understood that her abilities were even better than Johnny’s.
So when Johnny said this, the CEO believed him.
He said, “At least Miss Brown’s attitude is really good. With her attitude, plus President Wilson’s investment in her, she’s bound to achieve a lot in the future.”
At this point, the CEO couldn’t help but sigh. “To be honest, Miss Brown really is lucky.”
Before Maggie and Johnny could react, the CEO mysteriously added, “By the way, Miss Brown’s team worked overtime for two days over the weekend, but the project hadn’t made much progress.
Last night, President Wilson came back to the company at around seven, and he helped Miss Brown straighten out the core of the project, so now it’s finally moving forward.”
“And here’s the highlight,” the CEO said, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret. “I heard that last night, President Wilson and Miss Brown stayed overnight in the
As he said this, the CEO upstairs office. They haven’t gotten up yet.”
raised an eyebrow at Johnny, clearly hinting at something.

Johnny immediately understood the meaning.
The CEO was implying that, after working late last night, President Wilson and Julia had stayed in the upstairs office overnight…
Johnny covered Maggie’s ears with both hands. “My ears are dirty!”
Maggie: “…”
She had already heard everything.
It was too late for him to cover her ears now.
Moreover, this morning when Isabella called Franklin and Julia answered the phone, it already explained everything.
Just then, Julia walked in.
Johnny removed his hands from Maggie’s ears, snorting coldly. “Well, she’s up now, isn’t she?”
The CEO also noticed Julia and coughed lightly.
Julia seemed to be in pretty good spirits, although she looked quite tired.
She had been working overtime for several days, and from what he had heard, she had even stayed in the upstairs office last night with Franklin…
The CEO coughed lightly again.
Her tired appearance was understandable.
Julia nodded at Johnny and Maggie, but quickly turned her attention elsewhere, heading into the meeting room with other members of her team to start the meeting.
After a short break, Maggie and Johnny resumed working.
As lunchtime approached, they were discussing where to go for lunch when Franklin walked in.
He saw Maggie and immediately looked away, heading straight into the meeting room where Julia was.
Upon seeing him enter, everyone in the meeting room stood up to greet him.
Julia, however, stayed seated, smiling up at Franklin. “You’re here?”
“Mm.” Franklin responded briefly, then asked, “How’s it going?”
“It’s coming together. There’s finally some progress,” Julia replied.
“Good.” Franklin nodded.
*Julia said, “It’s also thanks to your help last night.”
Franklin smiled, “It was nothing.” He then turned to the others and said, “Thanks for everyone’s hard work these past few

days. Let’s all go out for a meal later.”
Franklin was suggesting treating everyone to a meal.
Hearing this, everyone in Julia’s team was very happy, feeling that working with Julia had its advantages.
At this moment, Julia suddenly said, “How about I also go tell Mr. Gray and the others?”
She meant inviting Johnny, Maggie, and the rest of the project team along.
When Franklin said he was treating people to a meal, she, on the other hand, thought of asking another group of people along,
This kind of suggestion could only come from people in deeply connected relationships, such as romantic partners or married couples.
Franklin clearly had no objections: “Alright.”

Julia stood up and left the meeting room, heading towards Johnny and Maggie’s direction.
Kim had a smile on his face and immediately greeted her, “Director Brown.”
Julia smiled and nodded, then said to him and Johnny, “Frank is treating my team to a meal. Would Mr. Gray and Mr. Kim like to join us?”
She intentionally ignored Maggie.
Kim, of course, was happy to accept.
He looked toward Johnny and Maggie.
Johnny immediately said, “Miss Brown, we appreciate your kindness, but we have our own arrangements.”
Julia furrowed her brows, “Mr. Gray…”
She didn’t expect that despite her repeated efforts, Johnny still showed no signs of wavering.
She glanced at Maggie, who was sitting nearby drinking water.
Maggie met her gaze coldly.
Julia quickly shifted her eyes away.
ነ
Apart from being slightly more attractive, Julia truly didn’t understand what made Maggie so worthy of Johnny’s protection.
Did she have anything outstanding or remarkable?
Since Johnny refused, she smiled and, maintaining a polite attitude, said, “Alright, next time then.”
With that, she didn’t spare another glance at Maggie or Kim and turned to leave.
Kim felt like he had been ignored.

Though Julia certainly had the capital to be proud, Franklin, the true big boss, was always polite and courteous when meeting with their employees.
Julia shrugged and said, “I noticed.”
Julia’s pride made it seem like she was already in charge at Wilson Tech.
But it seemed that even without Franklin supporting her, her self–confidence was already strong enough to make her proud.
