The core teclunological content they had discussed and written down could be considered confidential at any that place, Ing Melani i dismissed it as worthless.
So, for the next two or three days, Adele and Johnny worked together, revising the “homework based on Nolan’s festhack.
By Monday, Adele’s foot had almost fully healed. Although she wasn’t confident enough to drive yet, she was able to return to the office and restine. her regular work.
When she arrived at the company. Johnny informed her, “Franklin probably really intends to collaborate with na
Franklin himself wasn’t there, but he had sent someone over last week to make initial contact, Johnny hadn’t fold Adele about it, fearing would distract her.
Someone from Franklin’s side would be coming over later that day. If the conversation went well, they could finalize the preliminary collaboration plan.
The technical director sent by Franklin was from his personal technology company, not from the Collins Group. This was their first time meeting
When the director learned that Adele was also involved in technology, he politely greeted her, “Hello, Miss Miller.
“Hello,” Adele replied.
The afternoon proceeded smoothly, and by lunchtime, Cole invited several people from Franklin’s company to dine together.
When they arrived at the restaurant and were just getting out of the car, they happened to run into Franklin and Julia, who were also getting out of
their car.
Seeing them, Adele paused in her steps.
Johnny rubbed his forehead, not expecting this coincidence.
However, Director Quinn’s eyes lit up when he saw them and called out, “President Collins!”
Franklin and Julia turned around. Upon seeing Adele and Johnny, they seemed a little surprised.
After greeting Adele and Johnny, Director Quinn walked over to Franklin and Julia.
Since Franklin had already noticed them, and they still had business to discuss, Adelei and Johnny exchanged a glance and followed them.
It seemed that Director Quinn also knew Julia, and he greeted her warmly, “Miss Brown.”
“Hello,” Julia replied, her tone a little distant.
Director Quinn didn’t mind, since Julia was now the person most important to Franklin and might soon become their boss. It was normal for Julia to maintain a certain level of distance from the subordinates.
Director Quinn then looked at Adele and Johnny, explaining to Franklin, “I had a meeting with Cole this morning to discuss a potential partnership. Now it’s lunch, so I’m just here with President Gray and the others.”
Franklin nodded and shook his hand, saying, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Director Quinn replied, “It’s no trouble at all.”
Franklin’s gaze shifted to Adele and Johnny, and he greeted Johnny, “President Gray.”
But when it came to Adele, he didn’t say anything.
Johnny responded with a nod and suddenly suggested, “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we have lunch together?” However, Franklin declined, saying, “No, this is a private arrangement, not very convenient. But next time, I’ll definitely invit dinner.”

A privare arrangement? Was this a date with fulla?
Was he trying to avoid being disturbed?
Johnny secretly sneered but smiled and said, “President Collins is too polite.”
As for Julia, she did want to get to know Johnny better, but compared to him, she was naturally more interested in Franklin.
Franklin seemed to be very protective of their private time, and Julia was pleased with this. She didn’t want their personal time to be interrupted.
After hearing Franklin’s refusal, she didn’t insist and walked off with him, leaving the others behind.
Once they were far enough away, Johnny asked, “Does Director Quinn know Miss Brown as well?”
“I’ve met her a few times,” Director Quinn replied. “As you know, President Collins is very attentive to Miss Brown and has brought her to the company several times.”
So that was the case.
Although Adele had been married to Franklin for many years and was somewhat aware of the companies he had started, she had never visited any of them.
That was because Franklin didn’t allow her.
Yet, he never imposed such restrictions on Julia.
