Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Maggie arrived at the restaurant only to find Julia sitting alone in the private dining room no Franklin in sight.

Julia let out a small sigh. “Dad got a call right before you came. Said something came up and had to take off.”

Maggie gave a quiet “mm” and left it at that. Whether Franklin showed up or not made no difference to her either way.

She spent the weekend resting, and come Monday, Maggie was over at Wilson Group more often than not. Since HJ Tech and Wilson Group had only recently started working together, she’d occasionally run into Yale around the office.

Wednesday rolled around, and by late morning Maggie’s team had wrapped up everything on their plate. Mr. Jarrell from Wilson Group offered to take them all out for lunch.

Maggie politely turned him down. “I actually have plans today. Rain check?”

“Sure thing, next time.”

Yale and the rest of the HJ Tech crew were there when she said it. Jarrell extended the invite to their side too, and they were happy to

accept.

That’s when Yale chimed in and told his boss he had plans as well and couldn’t join.

They all rode the elevator down together, then went their separate ways once they hit the lobby. Maggie got in her car and headed

out first.

Once she reached her destination, she called Nolan to see how far out he was.

Right, the person she was meeting for lunch tod

was Nolan. Along with a friend of his.

When she heard Nolan had already arrived,

got out of th

car, and sure enough, spotted him and his friend a moment later.

She walked over and greeted him. “Professor.”

Nolan nodded, then introduced her to his companion.

They shook hands, exchanged pleasantries, and were just about to head inside when Julia and Yale’s group came walking straight toward them.

Both Yale and Julia stopped short for a second.

Julia recovered quickly and stepped forward with her usual polished smile. “Dr. Nolan.”

Nolan glanced at her, said absolutely nothing, and walked right past like she wasn’t there.

Nolan’s friend, who actually knew who Julia was, caught the whole exchange with an amused look. “Miss Brown here is the girlfriend of the man running Wilson Group,” he said, not bothering to lower his voice. “She greets you and that’s how you react? I’ve known you a long time, you’re not usually like that with people.”

He’d known Nolan for years and understood that while Nolan could be proud and standoffish, he wasn’t actually rude. He didn’t look

down on peuple just because they were below his level. As a rule, even a total stranger who recognized him and offered a friendly hello would at least get a nod back.

Completely looking through someone like they didn’t exist? He’d never seen Nolan do that before.

“Don’t like her.”

Short, simple, and straight to the point.

The thing was, Nolan’s friend hadn’t waited until they were out of earshot to ask. He’d said all of that right in front of Julia, and Nolan had answered the same way.

His friend didn’t seem the least bit worried Julia might hear.

Or rather, he just flat out didn’t care.

Maggie had never met this friend of Nolan’s before today, but she’d heard about him. Old money, serious connections, serious pull, and an attitude to match. Pushing forty and still acted like the world owed him something, never scared of anyone a day in his life.

Hearing about someone is one thing. Seeing them in person is another. Maggie quickly realized the man in front of her made every story she’d heard sound like an understatement.

So when he turned around and said all that to Nolan right in front of Julia without blinking, Maggie just stood there frozen for a

second.

She didn’t say a word though. As the junior person in the group, she fell quietly into step behind them.
