With her part of the work done, Maggie was about to leave. She turned to Charlie and said, “I have some other matters to attend to, Lane, please entertain Mr. Wilson.”

As she stood up and was about to leave, Franklin glanced at his watch, then looked up at her and asked, “How about dinner tonight?”

Before Maggie could respond, he added, “I’ll have someone pick up Isabella as well.”

Charlie had assumed that Franklin was simply asking her out for a meal to celebrate their successful cooperation. But when he heard the second part of Franklin’s sentence, he froze, realizing that the tone between Franklin and Maggie seemed unusually familiar, almost as if they had known each other for a long time.
