Chapter 598

Once the business talk wrapped up, the sky had already gone dark outside. Benjamin suggested they all grab dinner together.

ranklin shook his head. “Sorry, I’ve got something I need to take care of. Let’s do dinner another time.”

enjamín laughed. “This something you need to take care of, you’re not going to go have dinner with Ms. Brown, are you?”

ranklin paused, but didn’t deny it.

enjamin caught on instantly. So that was a yes.

le was mid–sentence when his eyes landed on Maggie, and he caught himself. “Sorry, I – what I mean is, because you two —~

le knew the situation between Maggie and Franklin, he did. But over these past weeks, whenever the three of them had met to talk business, the two of them

ad carried themselves like nothing more than professional counterparts, so completely detached that he’d genuinely forget sometimes that they had any other istory at all.
