“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

“What? Felix wants to transfer you to Sarma City?” Xena asked in surprise.In that instant, Fiona understood. Felix had made the decision without even consulting Xena.Half her heart went cold. She forced herself to stay steady. “Yes. Dr. Liam called to inform me and asked me to think it over.”There was a brief silence on the other end. “So what are you planning to do, Fiona?”“I’ve thought it through. I’m going to pass the evaluation on my own merits and earn my place in the project fair and square.”Xena let out a soft sigh. “All right. Then take the evaluation. Since he’s handed full authority to James, if I pressure him to break his own rules, it’ll only put him in a difficult position.” She paused. “What position was he offering you in Sarma City?”“I didn’t ask for details. Dr. Liam said it was a lead researcher role.”Xena sighed again. “It seems Felix hasn't treated you unfairly. It’s just that you don’t want to go.”“I know. Mr. Gibson has been good to me, but I’m jus

Miranda hung up the call without hesitation and set her phone aside. She had no interest in answering it.She knew very well that if Felix placed Fiona into any project, it would ultimately come down to Fiona’s own ability. Without real skill, being pushed into a team would only make things harder, not easier.Fiona belonged exactly where her abilities allowed her to stand. That was the only way she could truly grow, rather than staying trapped in resentment and jealousy toward others.What Xena was doing was not helping Fiona. It was hurting her.Technical barriers were not something that could be broken through overnight. With James overseeing the process this time, even if Felix tried to use his authority to force Fiona into the civilian project, James would make his stance clear.James would never violate his professional principles unless Felix truly intended to drive him out altogether.It was true that Felix rarely refused Xena. He gave her almost anything she asked for. B

Xena’s fingers tightened around her handbag until her knuckles turned white. The sales associates were still standing nearby, so she forced a composed smile onto her face.“Thank you for your concern,” she said evenly. “We’re both focused on our careers right now. There’s no rush.”“Is that so?” Sophie replied with a bright smile. “Still, regardless of how rushed you are to have a baby, you really ought to get legally married first, don't you think?”The color drained from Xena’s face.Seemingly satisfied, Sophie picked up the neatly wrapped gift the associate handed her. “I’ll be going now. Take your time choosing.” She paused, then added lightly, “And that belt might come in handy. You really should keep Mr. Gibson in check. It’s not a great look for him to keep hovering around his ex-wife. It disrupts her life, too.”After Sophie walked away, Xena’s chest heaved with suppressed fury.An associate approached with her purchase. Xena swallowed her irritation, accepted the bag, an

Felix frowned slightly and glanced at his watch. “Ask her to head home for now. I’ll reach out to her later.”Gavin nodded and stepped out.Standing in front of Xena, he offered an apologetic smile. “Ms. Spencer, I’m sorry. Mr. Gibson has an important video conference starting shortly. He asked that you head back for now. He’ll contact you later.”Xena smiled gently. “I understand.”Gavin gestured toward the elevators. “Let me walk you down.”“Thank you,” she said with a gracious nod.Dressed in a refined Chanel-inspired tweed set, Xena carried herself with effortless elegance. With her artistic background and delicately sculpted features, she was undeniably beautiful. Gavin remained impeccably polite, though standing beside her in the elevator, he felt a subtle pressure. Some women were so striking that their presence alone commanded the air around them.In the lobby, Xena stopped him. “You should head back upstairs.”Gavin nodded and returned to the elevator.As Xena cross
