Chapter 161

Maggie's calm demeanor made it seem as if she had already known that they would cooperate.

Rex didn't think much of it, assuming that Johnny had probably discussed it with her beforehand.

He coldly said, "Looking forward to a pleasant cooperation."

Upon arriving at the restaurant and getting out of the car, as Maggie and Johnny were about to head upstairs, Rex, with sharp eyes, noticed Franklin and Julia entering from another side. He stopped in his tracks and greeted them, "Mr. Wilson, Miss Brown."

Franklin and Julia noticed them as well.

Franklin responded, "Mr. Hardin, Mr. Gray."

Johnny smirked without any warmth, "Mr. Wilson."

Before he could say anything else, Johnny added, "You guys chat, we'll head up first."

With that, Johnny and Maggie entered the elevator together.

Earlier, when Rex had met Johnny at Wilson Tech, he had already noticed that Johnny clearly didn't like Franklin. This time, Johnny didn't even try to hide it, which surprised Rex.

He didn't know what animosity existed between Johnny and Franklin, but it was clear that Franklin had a much friendlier attitude towards Johnny.

After Johnny and Maggie left, Franklin and Julia turned their attention back to the table.

Julia asked, "Is the cooperation between Mr. Hardin and Mr. Gray settled?"

Rex smiled and said, "Yes, it's done."

Julia had known that the cooperation between Cole and Rex hadn't worked out before. She knew it was because Rex had upset Maggie, and as a result, Johnny had also started to distance himself from Rex. Previously, Johnny had firmly rejected any cooperation with Rex, but now Rex had succeeded.

This made Julia wonder if this meant that, even though Maggie was important to Johnny, when it came to
