Chapter 74
The group had heen seated for quite a while, enjoying then meal, yet Franklin and Johnny hadn’t exchanged a single oined
Upon hearing this, Franklin picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his lips. He glanced at Jenny and emitri Tve intred comfered a v you think. Mr. Gray?”
Johnny, naturally, wouldn’t miss the opportunity for business.
“It’s an honor for us at Cole to have Mr. Collins’s attention.”
If Franklin and Johnny truly formed a partnership, Julia would be pleased.
After all, if the two men started getting closer, her chances of interacting more with Julia would increase it would then be easier for her to thin
over.
Thinking of this, she cast a cold glance at Adele.
Adele had mostly been talking with Professor Liam. Though he paid some attention to the others at the table, he didn’t seem too concerned.
If Johnny really wanted to collaborate with Franklin, she had no objections. There was no reason for her to turn down potential profits.
As the meal neared its end, everyone began to rise, as it wasn’t necessary to remain seated once the food was finished. Those with business interdions would gather by the nearby sofa to discuss.
Franklin had only casually mentioned the possibility of working with Cole during dinner, but whether this would come to fruition. Adele wasn’t sure.
However, Kevin, who was dining with them, seemed genuinely interested in collaborating.
Sure enough, before the meal was even finished, Kevin and the management team he brought were already chatting with Johnny.
Adele followed them over.
When it came to technology, Adele was proficient. As for the negotiations, that was Johnny’s domain.
Adele sat quietly, rarely speaking. But when she noticed Johnny’s cup was empty, she took it and said, “I’ll refill it for you.”
Johnny smiled. “Thanks.”
Seeing Adele acting as Johnny’s secretary, Julia and Lauren were now more certain that Adele’s role at Cole was likely to be nothing more than assisting Johnny.
Adele, holding the cup, turned around and took a few steps. As she got closer to Franklin, someone near her suddenly pivoted, unintentionally bumping into her.
Adele lost her balance for a moment, and before she could steady herself, she fell forward, landing right into Franklin’s arms.
Everyone around them froze.
At first glance, it seemed like Adele had been knocked over, but who could say for sure if it was truly an
accident?
After all, what were the odds that she would fall straight into Franklin’s arms?
Moreover, Adele was extraordinarily beautiful, with a slender figure, soft curves, and skin so fair it resembled milk…
Though Julia was also quite beautiful, many of the men present still thought Adele was the more stunning one.
To have a woman like her deliberately fall into one’s arms was… well, let’s just say it sparked some thoughts in the minds of many me
But Franklin was different.
With a cold expression, he gently steadied Adele by her shoulder and immediately pushed her away, showing no sign of being distracted by her beauty.
I Tabad It for Revenge
It wasn’t until she was pressed against him and inhaled his familiar went that Adele realized the had fallen leto EMOTION
Once she registered what had happened, her expression turned neutral. She stood up straight, muttered an Tmerry, and loved to
Julia and Lauren, too, were now convinced that Adele had deliberately thrown herself into Franklins armes
Lauren scoffed and said to Julia, “I told you she couldn’t just sit still.”
“But no matter how hard she tries, it’s useless.”
Because Franklin wasn’t moved in the least.
“True.” Lauren smiled. “Tranklin’s reaction really does give you a sense of security.”
Julia smiled sweetly and lowered her head.
Logan furrowed his brows. He felt he had misjudged Adele. Who would’ve thought that such a quiet woman could have so many tricks up her derve?
Noticing the situation, Johnny paused his conversation with Kevin and quickly walked over to Adele.
“Are you alright?”
Adele shook her head.
“Did you sprain your ankle?”
“Just a little.”
