If that wasn’t the world turned upside down, what was?
Meanwhile, in the other private dining room.
Juha had just learned what Daphne had done.
“You really didn’t have to—she started.
“I know.” Daphne smiled. “And honestly, it wasn’t entirely for you. I just got back, I was a little bored, figured I’d have some fun.
Julia knew better. At the end of the day, Daphne had done it for her. She smiled. “Thank you.”
“Since when do we need to say that to each other?” Daphne laughed, then added, “I’ll tell you what though, after that whole thing yesterday. I have been in the best mood ever since. And she actually thought I wanted their partnership. Ha!”
Julia smiled.
That reminded Daphne of something. She raised an eyebrow. “Oh right, didn’t you say Glen joined Cole because of you too? Wanted to stick up for you? Whatever happened with that? I didn’t see him there yesterday.”
Julia paused mid–sip of her soup. “He… developed feelings for Maggie.”
Daphne blinked. “No way. Maybe–”
“It’s true.”
Daphne blinked again. Julia’s tone left no room for doubt.
She frowned, genuinely caught off guard.
In her mind, Glen was as stubborn and headstrong as they came. Someone like him, who had been so into Julia, falling for someone else that easily?

After a moment, Daphne came back to herself. “Huh. Didn’t realize she was that popular.”
She and Johnny were practically strangers.
But his name had come up enough times that she knew exactly who he was.
Maggie must have told Johnny about what went down at Cole yesterday, because when they ran into the two of them earlier, the look Johany gave her was ice cold.
Clearly, he was serious about Maggie.

They charted a litle while longer, and as they were wrapping up and getting ready to leave, julia glanced at her phone. “Franklin just texted. He’s free tonight, so he’ll make it to your welcome back dinner.”
Daphne smiled “Perfect. He pulled a lot of strings to help me get settled back in New York. I’ve been wanting to treat him properly.” She paused, then laughed. “Thungh honestly, the only reason he was willing to help like that is because of you.”
“Oh stop it,” Julia said. “You two have always gotten along. Franklin would’ve helped you with or without me.”
That afternoon, Maggie was busy at the office when she got a call from Isabella. Franklin had called Isabella, asking her to join him to meet a friend who’d just returned from abroad. So she wouldn’t be staying for dinner at the Miller house tonight.
