Chapter 143
Harry indeed thought that way.
Franklin picked up his tea and took a sip: “Although the custody is with me, the agreement clearly states that as long as she wants to see the child, she can see him anytime, without restrictions.”
Harry did not expect this response.
At that moment, the two children looked over, and they stopped discussing the topic.
Franklin suddenly spoke, “I heard you’ve been in touch with Cole recently?”
Harry froze for a moment: “Yeah.” Then he asked, “What about you? No intentions there?”
Franklin: “Not decided yet, it’s still early, I’m not in a hurry.”
“Mm.”
Maggie’s thesis still wasn’t finished.
After working on the thesis for a day and a half, on Sunday evening, Maggie and Jessica had dinner outside, then walked around for more than two hours before heading home.
The weekend passed quietly and peacefully without any interruptions.
On Monday, Maggie went to Cole for work as usual.
Starting from that day, those who had previously called Johnny, wanting to collaborate with Cole, began arriving in person with their proposals.
Rex came on Thursday.
Johnny happened to be on a business trip out of town on Wednesday.
Maggie received the news, put down her work, and went to the meeting room.
When she saw the door to the meeting room open, Rex stood up, but when he saw only Maggie walking in he paused.

Maggie extended her hand and politely said,
Hello, Mr. Hardin. My name is Maggie Miller, John went out of town for a business trip yesterday and is not at Cole. I’m handling all matters at Cole now. If you have anything to discuss, you can talk to me just
as well,”
Handling everything herself?
What identity does she have to do that?
Johnny’s girlfriend?
Rex wasn’t sure if what she said was true, or if she was intentionally saying it to show her importance to Johnny,
Even if what she said was true, their proposals involved a lot of specialized materials and technical terms.
Could she understand them?
It was laughable that, knowing he had come to talk about a partnership, she didn’t even bring any technical staff, but came alone to meet him.
However, Johnny seemed to really value her.
Thinking this, Rex, even though he knew she might not understand their company’s proposal, didn’t turn and walk away immediately. Instead, he extended his hand, shook hers lightly, and said, “Then I’ll trouble you, Miss Miller.”
He sat down and handed her the document. “This is our company’s proposal. Miss Miller, please have a
look.”
Maggie took it and said, “Okay, I’ll take a look.”
As she began to look through the document, one of Johnny’s other secretaries knocked on the door and came in, whispering in her ear, “Miss Miller, there are visitors downstairs.
They say their names are Logan and Julia Brown. Should we have them wait in your office?”
No need.” Maggie interrupted, softly saying, “Send them away.”
“Understood.”
After the secretary left, Maggie apologized to Rex and then began reviewing the proposal he had given.

s she looked at the proposal, Maggie thought that although Rex had arrived later than others, he clearly had the confidence to do so. His proposal was detailed and almost perfectly matched her requirements.
Maggie appeared very serious while reviewing the document, almost as if she truly understood it.
She was pretending, and Rex couldn’t be bothered to expose it.
Anyway, he wasn’t in a hurry.
Half an hour later, Maggie put down the document and said, “Mr. Hardin’s proposal really aligns well with what our company needs. We’ll give it serious consideration.”
Rex didn’t want to talk too much with Maggie, planning to discuss further with Johnny when he returned.
But on the surface, he was still very polite: “Thank you for your recognition, and I look forward to the opportunity to cooperate with your company.”
After a pause, he said, “I have other matters, Miss Miller. See you next time.”
Maggie had already sensed that Rex didn’t seem to like her.
Now, in the meeting room, although he was trying to be polite, she could still feel his condescending attitude.
Business is business.
She was just looking for a collaborator and cared about her own interests, not necessarily about becoming friends with him.
She pretended not to notice his attitude and smiled, “Alright, see you next time.”
After that, she instructed Johnny’s secretary, “Secretary, please see Mr. Hardin out.”
Rex left.
Downstairs, he saw a familiar figure. “Miss Brown?”
Yes, Julia and Logan hadn’t left.
Johnny’s secretary had told them “Mr. Gray is away on a business trip” to send them away, but they didn’t leave.
They had thought “Johnny is away” was just an excuse for him not wanting to see them, so they waited

downstairs, thinking they’d talk to him when he came down.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Johnny who came down, but Rex.
It had been half a month since Julia was injured.
Her wounds had almost healed, though not completely, but she was well enough to return to normal life.
Rex had gone to Wilson Tech last week and didn’t see Julia. When he asked the staff there, he learned she had been injured.
Julia’s injuries were deep, and her hospital stay wasn’t easy, so her face still looked a little haggard.
Rex looked at her, feeling a little heartbroken.
