Chapter 124
After the call, Maggie returned to her work.
By 9 p.m., after a session of intense study, she felt much better.
At this moment, Johnny called.
“Want to go out for some fun?”
Half an hour later, Maggie arrived at the bar.
Johnny came out to greet her and asked, “Want something to drink?”
Maggie paused and then said, “Sure, I’ll have a drink.”
Johnny looked at her closely. “Not in a good mood?”
“Much better now.”
Johnny didn’t press her further and ordered a blue–colored, low–alcohol cocktail for her.
Maggie held the drink in her hand, sipping it slowly while listening to Johnny chat with hist
friends.
Neither she nor Johnny realized that someone was watching them from the bar upstairs.
Yves said, “So it’s her with Johnny.”
The man next to him followed his gaze and saw Maggie. He froze for a moment.
Yves noticed and chuckled. “Is she your type?”
His friend didn’t respond but asked, “Do you know her?”
“Yes,” Yves replied. “This is the girl I told you about a few days ago–the one that Rex was

interested in, but then suddenly lost interest.”
His friend looked at Maggie and thought, although their bar wasn’t chaotic, Maggie had a calm and clean aura. Amid the flashing lights and booming music, she stood out, almost like she had accidentally wandered in from another world.
Johnny asked, “Want to go dance?”
Maggie didn’t know how to dance, but she was curious to try. “Okay.”
In the dance floor, with Johnny leading, they swayed to the music for about a minute. Maggie slowly adapted and relaxed, swaying her body lightly.
She had drunk a little and was slightly tipsy. Her face flushed prettily, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of playfulness, adding a hint of charm that wasn’t there before.
Yves clicked his tongue. “Although Miss Miller doesn’t have that conquering allure like Missi Brown, she really exudes that pure, youthful beauty. She’s absolutely captivating!”
His friend didn’t reply.
At this moment, Maggie felt her phone vibrating.
She didn’t stop dancing, but took out her phone to check. After seeing the caller ID, she immediately stopped.
Johnny saw her expression change and leaned over to check. He froze. “It’s the teacher!”
Maggie and Johnny quickly left the dance floor.
As they were heading out, Maggie looked up and saw Yves and a handsome young man sitting next to him at the bar.
Maggie wasn’t familiar with Yves, so she quickly averted her gaze and left the bar with Johnny to answer the call. When she answered, her tone was hesitant. “Hello, Teacher…”
“Come pick me up tomorrow afternoon.”
Chapter 124
Maggie was stunned. “Huh?”
Before she could respond, the call was already hung up.
Johnny quickly asked, “What did the teacher say?”
Maggie replied, “The teacher asked me to pick him up tomorrow afternoon.”
“Did he mention anything else? Or ask if I should come with you?”
Maggie shook her head.
Johnny glanced at his phone, realizing that Nolan hadn’t contacted him. He suddenly felt a
little hurt. “The teacher is biased.”
In such a lively atmosphere at the bar, it was indeed easy to relax.
Maggie felt much better. She reached out and gently covered his chest. “Feeling better now?”
“No, I’ll feel better when you pay for tonight’s expenses.”
“Got it.”
Of course, she was joking.
There was no way Johnny would let Maggie pay. Also, he was worried that taking her to a bar would be discovered by Nolan. After settling the bill at the bar, he left with Maggie.
Maggie drove to Nolan’s villa to pick him up.
After getting into the car, she asked, “Teacher, where are we going?”
Nolan gave her an address.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant and were led to a private room.
When they entered, two men, both with commanding presences, were already seated.

As they saw them enter, the two men stood up. “You’re here.”
THE
“Jordan Hall, Reed Hardin,” Nolan said, still with his usual cool demeanor as he introduced. them. “This is my student, Maggie.”
Maggie had seen them on the news before.
One of them held a significant position in the military, and the other was a major political
figure.
However, when they saw Maggie, their attitude was very warm. They both shook her hand, saying. “We’ve heard a lot about you.”
Maggie, though a bit confused, calmly shook their hands and politely replied. “The honor is
mine.”
Jordan and Reed smiled and gestured for her to sit.
Once she sat down, Jordan said, “We’ve known about you for years. We’ve always hoped that Academician Nolan could introduce us, but with everyone being so busy, it never happened. Recently, our team has been studying the system you developed, and since we all had time these past few days, we thought we’d meet and have a meal together.
After some pleasantries, they began discussing systems, chips, and energy….
Nolan sat quietly on the side, eating and drinking tea, rarely participating in the
conversation.
After more than an hour, Jordan poured a cup of tea for Maggie, which she accepted.
Jordan set down the teapot, his gaze deep and full of experience, but when looking at Maggie, his expression softened. “If I’m not mistaken, Mag, you’re in your twenties?”
Maggie nodded. “Yes, I’m 25.”
“Very young,” Jordan said. Reed immediately added, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
Maggie paused, then answered, “I’m married.
Chapter 121
And almost divorced.
But facing Jordan and Reed, she didn’t feel comfortable revealing too much, so she left it at
that.
Both Jordan and Reed seemed surprised.
But they weren’t ordinary people.
When Maggie mentioned her marriage, a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes, indicating that her marriage had some issues.
In other words, a divorce was likely.
Hmm, their son might still have a chance.
Many prestigious young women were eager to enter the Hall and Hardin families.
In general, the daughters of ordinary wealthy families couldn’t even get into the Hall and Hardin families, let alone someone who had been married before.
But Maggie was different.
Maggie is truly talented.
With the technology that Cole currently possesses, in the next few years, the development. of Cole will be unstoppable. Not to mention that in the future, Nolan’s position is highly likely to be taken over by Maggie.
In other words, Maggie’s future prospects are limitless.
What’s more, Maggie is still so young, yet has achieved so much and remains calm and graceful, with no trace of arrogance–something rare to find in young people.
The more they looked at her, the more they liked her.
As they were speaking, Nolan finally raised his head and cast them a cold, sharp glance.
