Chapter 656: Lunch

The elevator reached his floor. Before stepping out, he said, “You free at lunch? I’d love to grab a meal with you and Mr. Wilson.”

When he said Franklin’s name, his eyes had drifted to Maggie, who was already walking off the elevator with the others like Yale and Julia weren’t even there.

Julia paused. “I’m free, but Franklin’s been slammed lately, think he already has something going on at lunch. Let me check with him first and we can figure it out, okay?”

“Sure.”

Maggie and Yale ended up on the same floor at Wilson Group that day, and they crossed paths a couple of times. Neither acknowledged the other.

Around noon, Maggie sat down with Cole’s engineers in the Wilson Group cafeteria. Yale, meanwhile, got a call from Julia, Franklin had pushed back his earlier commitments, reserved a private dining room, and wanted to take him out for lunch.

That morning Julia had mentioned Franklin was buried in work, so Yale had figured it’d be at least a few days before a lunch like this could even happen. He’d seen firsthand at the AI tech conference just how packed Franklin’s schedule was.

Honestly? He was a little floored.

Julia and Franklin had apparently already left Wilson Group. Franklin had sent someone to come pick Yale up and bring him to the

restaurant.

By the time Yale arrived, they were already there.

He felt a flash of embar

“Not at all, we just got here ourselves.” Franklin smiled easily. “I actually wanted to take you out when I saw you at the conference the other day, but things were just nonstop. Never could find a window.”

“Mr. Wilson, please, I saw how much you had on your plate. You already pushed back your schedule just to have lunch with me. I feel bad enough as it is.”

Franklin waved it off. “It’s nothing.”

Yale found Franklin surprisingly down to earth, And he understood perfectly well why Franklin had dropped everything the moment he heard about the lunch request, it was because Julia mattered to him. Simple as that. Someone she cared about wanted to meet, so Franklin made it happen without a second thought.

Franklin lifted his teacup and took a slow sip, a quiet warmth in his eyes as he looked at Yale. “I heard the technical architecture for our joint project with HJ Tech was your work. I went through it, there’s some genuinely creative thinking in there. Really interesting stuff.”

Yale didn’t actually know much about Franklin beyond the obvious, old money family, rumored to have been a top student his whole life. What he’d studied in college, though, Yale had no idea.

He jumped at the opening and they fell into a conversation about the technical architecture behind the collaboration. And it didn’t take long for Yale to realize that Franklin could go toe to toe with him on everything, system architecture, logic parameters, you name

1. More than that, Franklin kept finding angles Yale hadn’t considered, quietly filling in gaps Yale hadn’t even noticed were there.

Mid-sentence, Yale just stopped.

“I have to say, I didn’t expect you to know Al this well, Mr. Wilson.”.
