Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time Novel

---- Chapter 392 On Monday, Maggie still went to Wilson Group for the meeting. Franklin had major meetings of his own, so this time he didn't go downstairs to sit in on hers. But once his meeting ended, Chad and Jake heard him ask, "Has the downstairs session wrapped? Did they send up the follow-up implementation plan? If it's here, bring it to me." Both of them knew Franklin had sat in on Maggie's last meeting. Hearing him now, Chad and Jake exchanged a look, then eyed the stack of files on Franklin's desk. He was flying out tomorrow and had to clear today's entire pile.

By contrast, the plan from Maggie's team wouldn't kick off until next month-and what they'd submitted was only a first draft. He could easily wait until after his trip. ---- Still, since he'd asked, Jake fetched the freshly delivered packet and handed it over. Draft or not, Maggie already had a firm grip on execution. The "first draft" Franklin received was crisp and highly concrete. He flipped straight to the implementation section. Dense technical jargon filled the pages-most of it over Chad's and Jake's heads.

There was a lot here, but after only a few pages, they caught the curve of a smile forming on Franklin's face. He seemed to scan only the key phrases. Then his pace quickened-eight or nine pages skimmed in under three minutes. By the time he finished, that smile in his eyes was almost impossible to suppress. They could both tell he was very pleased. Just as they were about to speak, Franklin closed the file, looked up, and said, "They'll probably go out for lunch. ---- Jake, let them know I'll be joining." Both men blinked.

Recovering, Jake answered, "Understood." Maggie's group did have a team lunch scheduled. As they were about to head out, Mr. Claremont from Wilson Group's tech division told them, "Just got word-Mr. Wilson will drop by." Maggie didn't react. Johnny was present today as well; he curled his lip, leaned to Maggie's ear, and muttered, "Given where this partnership is, there's zero need for him to show up. What's he doing here?" Maggie shook her head. If Johnny didn't know, she certainly didn't either.

Franklin was still tied up, so even after Maggie and Johnny arrived at the restaurant, he and Chad didn't appear until later. When he walked in, Wilson Group's execs and engineers ---- all stood to greet him. After a few polite nods, Franklin's gaze landed on Maggie and Johnny. He stepped forward to shake hands. "I've reviewed the latter section of your plan. The thinking is excellent. Thank you for the hard work." The tech leads from Wilson Group looked genuinely surprised. They'd just submitted it, and he'd already read it? That fast?
