Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 839
“It’s nothing,” Miranda said with a small smile. “I was having dinner at a friend’s place. Same neighborhood. I just had to walk a few minutes to get home and send it.”“A friend?” James asked, curious.“You know him,” she replied easily. “Leo.”James blinked in surprise. “You and Leo live in the same neighborhood?”Miranda nodded. “Yeah. Cloudcrest Residence is one of the best residential communities in the city, especially regarding security.”That explained Felix’s distraction the night before.James couldn’t help thinking back to the dinner. Felix had clearly been elsewhere in his head. Now it made sense. Still, he found himself puzzled. Why would an ex-husband look so unsettled?Was it because his former wife and his longtime friend were under the same roof?“James?” Miranda laughed lightly. “Where did you drift off to?”“Nowhere,” he said with a faint smile, brushing it aside. He had met Leo before. The man was courteous, measured, and every bit a gentleman. Miranda was

Miranda held Mia close, her thoughts drifting back to a distant memory.“We met at a hospital,” she said quietly.“Oh? So who liked who first?” Mia asked, playing the curious little detective.Miranda hesitated for half a second before answering stiffly, “Mommy liked Daddy first.”“And Daddy liked Mommy too, right?” Mia pressed.Miranda let out a soft breath. “It’s late. Let’s stop chatting and go to sleep, okay?”“Okay.” Mia nodded obediently, then picked up a stuffed doll and began whispering a story to it.Miranda closed her eyes.The memories came anyway.The sharp scent of disinfectant. A long hospital corridor. Seventeen-year-old her colliding headfirst into nineteen-year-old Felix. The documents in her arms spilling all over the floor.She had stood there flustered and embarrassed, just a nervous teenage girl.He had remained calm, composed in a way that didn’t match his age.After that day, she stopped studying at the university library. Instead, she went to the hos

Mia was hopping and skipping along, but as they neared the entrance to Miranda's building, she suddenly skidded to a halt, her small hands clenching together tightly.Under the streetlight by the entrance stood a tall figure with his back to them. He was smoking. The dim yellow light stretched his shadow long across the pavement, the ember at the tip of his cigarette flaring and fading in the night. There was something heavy about him, something dark and brooding.Mia stared at the silhouette.Why did that back look so familiar?It looked like—“Daddy!”She let go of Miranda’s coat and ran toward him.Miranda had been watching her step and did not react at first. When she looked up and saw Mia racing toward the man beneath the light, she recognized him instantly.Felix.Felix turned at the sound of Mia’s voice. The moment he saw her, he crushed the cigarette under his shoe and crouched down, catching her in his arms.“You’re back pretty late,” he said softly.“We were at Unc

A few minutes later, James received the file. He turned his laptop slightly toward Felix and Ben.“Miranda just sent it over,” he said. “This is the analysis based on our latest round of experimental data. Mr. Gibson, Mr. Zeller, take a look. This will be a massive asset for our civilian project. It’s our first major breakthrough discovery.”Felix and Ben were seated on the same side of the table. Felix’s eyes rested on the document Miranda had sent to James.“Mr. Gibson, look at this figure here,” Ben said, pointing to a specific data point on the screen.“Mm,” Felix replied absently.Ben glanced at him, then exchanged a look with James. Neither of them understood why Felix suddenly seemed distracted.Ben cleared his throat. “Mr. Gibson, should we continue this another day?”Felix checked his watch, set down his knife and fork, and rose. “Apologies. I have something urgent to take care of. Dr. Moore, please continue your discussion with Mr. Zeller.”James and Ben stood to see

“I just got here,” Leo said.Miranda slipped her phone back into her bag and stepped out of the car to stand beside him under the row of trees. A sharp gust of cold wind swept through. She had only worn a light trench coat and instinctively wrapped her arms around herself.“Next time, bring something warmer,” Leo said gently.He was in a suit. It was not particularly thick, but he handled the cold better than she did.“I will,” Miranda replied with a small smile. The tip of her nose had already turned pink from the chill.“Go sit in the car. I’ll bring Mia out,” Leo said, trying to usher her back.Miranda shook her head. “It’s fine. I won’t freeze in a few minutes.”Leo looked at her helplessly and silently wished the school gates would open soon so they could pick up the kids and leave.Soon enough, the gates opened. Miranda and Leo walked inside together and came out holding the children’s hands.Mia suddenly grabbed Miranda’s hand and pleaded, “Mom, can I go to Uncle Leo’s

“No,” Miranda replied without hesitation. She sent the message and walked straight toward her office.Fiona remained where she was, staring at Miranda’s retreating figure. She bit her lip. This time, she would prove herself. She would earn her place in the project on her own merit.Back in her office, Miranda’s phone buzzed again. Another message from Felix appeared.“No time? Or do you already have plans?”She glanced at it once, then turned her phone face down on the desk without replying.Ten minutes later, Fiona waited outside James’s office. When she saw James walking down the hall with Adrian, her heart skipped. She quickly forced a bright smile and greeted Adrian first.“Adrian, long time no see. I heard you’re taking over James’s position. Congratulations.”Adrian’s face remained expressionless. He gave Fiona a curt nod and turned back to James. “James, I’ll head back to my office.”“If you run into anything you’re unsure about, call me anytime,” James said, patting his
