Being suddenly transferred like this made her feel as if she were something embarrassing that Felix had rejected at a single glance.She had been spoiled by her family since she was little. When had she ever been treated like this?If it had been any other man, she wouldn’t have spared him another thought.But if that man was Felix Gibson, then there was nothing she could say.Holding the box in her arms, Yara stepped into the elevator, her eyes filled with defeat and unwillingness.She kept replaying what Melanie had said.Felix didn’t like having female assistants around him.Why?Did Felix have some strange preference when it came to hiring?Or was Miranda just that possessive and controlling? Had she forced him not to use female assistants? Did she clear away any woman who might get close to him?Yara couldn’t help wondering what kind of spell Miranda ha
“Can I ask whose decision this was?” Yara asked, gathering her courage.“It came from higher up.”“Who exactly higher up?” Yara pressed.With Wesley’s connection behind her, she didn’t believe just anyone would dare move her out of this position.“Ms. White, I’m guessing this came from Mr. Gibson himself. Please cooperate with the reassignment.”Yara’s face heated at once.Had she done something wrong today?Had Felix personally ordered her transfer?But a man like Felix was so far above her. He probably hadn’t even remembered who she was. How could he have had her moved so quickly?Unwilling to accept it, Yara called her aunt, Melanie.Melanie was shocked too.“What? You’ve only been there a week, and they’re already transferring you?”“Aunt Melanie, can you ask Uncle Wesley to check with HR? He knows the HR director, right? Could he find out what happened?” Yara pleaded. “I really like this position.”Melanie had arranged for Yara to enter Gibson Corporation because she
“I’ll get it ready right away,” Yara said at once.A flash of excitement and hidden ambition crossed her eyes.She quickly headed toward the file room, not forgetting to take out the small mirror she carried with her and check her makeup.This was the first real chance she had had to get close to Felix since joining the company a week ago.To her, even if she was only handing out documents or refilling water, it was still a chance to make herself visible to him.Standing in front of the glass window of the file room, she carefully fixed her hair and adjusted her suit, making sure she looked her best.In the reflection was a young, pretty face full of energy.But beneath that brightness, there was also desire and calculation.Compared with other women, Yara had connections inside Gibson Corporation.That was what gave her the confidence to dream of something impossible.She thought of what her aunt had said about Felix’s ex-wife.So what if Miranda was a scientist?So what i
Felix deliberately leaned closer, his gaze openly intense.“You know exactly how much I want that misunderstanding to become real. So you said that on purpose to get under my skin, didn’t you?”The last word came out low and intimate, like a hook tugging at her heart.Miranda turned her face back toward the window, refusing to meet his eyes. She also felt embarrassed because he had seen right through her.“Drive,” she said. “I need to get to my meeting.”She clearly had no intention of continuing the conversation.“I won’t force you,” Felix said, each word clear and steady. “But in my heart, you have always been, and always will be, the only Mrs. Gibson. That was true in the past. It’s true now. And it will still be true in the future.”Miranda turned her head sharply and found herself looking into a pair of gentle, solemn eyes.For a moment, her breath caught.Felix’s gaze was open, serious, and quietly hopeful.Just then, Miranda’s phone rang.She glanced at the screen and
Miranda paused.Felix only smiled at her.The two of them shook hands with the principal, and Miranda couldn’t very well correct him on the spot.The principal was in his early fifties and had previously served as the head of a well-known international elementary school. He had years of experience in education.A gentle homeroom teacher took Mia by the hand and led her to her classroom.Miranda waved goodbye to Mia and watched her small figure walk away, her heart filled with pride and a little reluctant worry.After all, Mia was starting at a new school. As parents, they couldn’t help worrying.Part of them worried about whether she would adjust well.The other part simply struggled with the anxiety of letting her go.After dropping Mia off, Miranda and Felix walked side by side toward the parking lot.“Do you need me to take you to the lab?” Felix asked.“No, it’s fine. You should go to the office.”Miranda did not want to take up his time.Especially now that she knew t
Miranda was still caught off guard when Mia took her hand and said, “Mommy, you have to say good night to Daddy too.”Only then did Miranda realize what Mia had whispered to him earlier.She held Mia’s hand and, without looking at the man beside her, said quietly, “Good night.”Then she led Mia away.When they returned to Miranda’s side of the house, Mia lifted her little head and said, “Mommy, I remember Daddy used to say good night to us every night. He used to kiss us too.”Miranda could tell Mia was thinking about the past.She gave a soft hum.“Okay.”Mia immediately bounced happily on her toes, then went upstairs to brush her teeth and get ready for bed.That night, Mia lay in Miranda’s arms, her big eyes blinking.After a while, she suddenly hugged Miranda and said in a small, hurt voice, “Mommy, I don’t ever want you and Daddy to separate again.”Mia’s sudden words were like a tiny hammer, tapping the softest part of Miranda’s heart.Her breath caught slightly, and
“The new drug’s clinical results look promising. We are still a little short of what we ideally hoped for, but every patient responds differently. Three early-stage patients have already made a full recovery, and that alone is a miracle.”Miranda nodded and steadied her emotions. When it came to he
“I am so sorry, Dr. Warren,” Miranda apologized at once.“It’s alright.” Dr. Warren gave her a kind smile and stepped aside.Miranda ended up standing almost shoulder to shoulder with Felix. Her back went rigid, and the familiar cedar scent he carried made it hard for her to breathe normally.Whe
Miranda looked at him, hoping he would be a little more serious.They held each other’s gaze for several seconds. Then Mike’s Adam’s apple moved, and he quietly made a request that felt a bit bold.“Can I get a goodbye hug?” He paused, then added, “A friendly one. Just a polite hug between friends
“Looks like Felix is in trouble.”Miranda paused for a moment before opening the link. The headline read: “Gibson Corporation Backing York Corporation’s IPO, Allegedly Involved in Secret Bribery of Regulators.”Miranda frowned. She could only think that Felix deserved it.Sophie sent another mess
