wasn't sure how much time passed, but soon, the car arrived at Isabella's school. Maggie got out of the car to accompany het inside, while Franklin stayed in the car.

Maggie stood by the car. Despite the lingering awkwardness, she chose not to push the situation further. She turned toward the car and told Franklin, "You go ahead. I'll take a taxi to the company later." Franklin glanced at her briefly and said, "It's on the way."

Maggie hesitated. She didn't want to ride in his car, but she also didn't want to make a big deal of it. Since he didn't seem to care, why should she?

In the end, she said nothing. After watching Isabella enter the school, she turned and got back into the car.

Maggie didn't even notice until she heard

Franklin's voice. "We're here."

She looked up to see the car stopped in front of the building. The car, a luxurious Bentley, was drawing attention from several people around. Maggie quickly grabbed her bag and rushed to get out of the car. Not wanting to attract unnecessary attention, she murmured, "Thank you." Franklin glanced at her and responded briefly with, "Mm."
