Chapter 146

He knew that Maggie would undoubtedly whisper in Johnny's ear, distorting the truth about what had happened between them.

Not too concerned about Johnny's attitude, he said, "A few days ago, I visited Cole. I'm not sure if Mr. Gray is aware of that?"

"I'm aware. Mag told me," Johnny replied. "I've seen Mr. Hardin's proposal, and I think it's good, but... Personally, I'm not fond of it. So I'm afraid, Mr. Hardin, the collaboration is..." Rex hadn't expected that Johnny would be so biased because of Maggie, not recognizing right from wrong.

He frowned. "I thought Mr. Gray was someone who separated personal and professional matters."

"I am," Johnny said, no longer hiding his true feelings. "But it depends on the situation."

The implication was clear: when it came to Maggie, there was no guarantee that Johnny would separate personal from professional matters.

His father had instructed him to focus the next two years of collaborations on Cole, which meant that the prospects of these two projects were better than most people thought. Though there had been some unpleasantness between him and Johnny, Rex didn't intend to give up on collaborating with Cole just yet.

He said, "Since Mr. Gray thinks my proposal has issues, I'll bring a new one to Cole soon."

He glanced at Harry and added, "Since Mr. Gray still has other matters, I won't keep you any longer. Farewell."

With that, he turned and left.

Rex didn't mention Maggie at all.

Harry, listening to this, quickly deduced that Johnny's refusal to collaborate with Rex had something to do with Maggie.

Although Harry and Julia had good relations with Franklin, Johnny had never been particularly fond of ni, despite the high quality of Harry's proposal. Now, however, with Harry putting aside personal grievances and inviting Maggie to join the dinner, Johnny felt a bit more favorable toward him. Still, he remained professional and replied, "Monday? Not sure yet. If I'm free, I'll contact you. You don't need to worry about it, Mr. Becker." Harry smiled. "I'll take your word for it, Mr. Gray."
