Her expression turned a little unpleasant. But... Maggie made it sound so easy. Could she really pull it off? Or had all the praise from domestic and international netizens about her recent paper gone to her head? Had she started to believe she actually had that kind of skill? Just as Julia was thinking this, she noticed that Franklin was watching Maggie with a hint of amusement in his eyes-like he genuinely appreciated the suggestion. Julia froze for a second. Did he...
really think that about her? Then Reed suddenly asked, "Franklin, sounds like you agree with Maggie's take on this?" Franklin replied, "I do." Before Julia could process that, Reed continued, "Then tell us-what are the benefits of doing it this way?" Franklin began to elaborate on the reasoning behind the strategy. Only then did Julia realize just how much was wrapped up in the plan beyond just technical execution.
---- And judging from their reactions-Johnny, Ryan, even Franklin-it was clear they all grasped the brilliance of the suggestion the moment Maggie said it. But she? She hadn't understood until Franklin spelled it out. Just as that hit her, she noticed Reed looking at her with a smile. "Miss Brown, you've been frowning. Still confused about something?" It was obvious he had noticed she had just caught up and had asked on purpose.
Though Reed's tone was kind, and his smile sincere, Julia still felt her face burning with embarrassment. But she quickly composed herself and replied modestly, "Yes, I just caught up with you all."
