Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1091 - 챕터 1100

Three days later, Miranda was getting ready to leave for Hamilton for the award ceremony. Since the trip would take two days, she had no choice but to contact Felix to work out arrangements for Mia.Felix hadn’t been at the lab for the past two days, so she could only call him.“My flight to Hamilton is tomorrow at ten in the morning. I’ll need you to take care of Mia for two days,” Miranda said over the phone.“Okay. I’ll take good care of her,” Felix agreed without hesitation.Once he said yes, Miranda had nothing else to add, so she ended the call.Early Friday morning, Miranda dropped Mia off at school. Mia already knew Miranda was going to receive an award, and she was incredibly proud. She also promised very seriously that she would behave and wait for her to come home.After dropping her off, Miranda took a cab to the airport. The award ceremony hosted by the International Medical Research Council was at two in the afternoon, so she would make it in time.Once she arrived

“Dr. Lewis, was there really something like that?” Miranda asked, blinking in surprise.Dr. Lewis looked at her. “You turned down the chance to go abroad for further study back then. Don’t you remember? But I’ve kept that spot open for you ever since.” Then he added, “I remember I had Dr. Liam ask you about it at the time. She told me you weren’t planning to go overseas because of your daughter.”Miranda’s thoughts immediately went back two years. She did seem to remember Samantha asking her about something like that, and she had turned it down without hesitation.“Felix fought hard to get that spot for you,” Dr. Lewis continued. “It really was a shame you didn’t take it. Still, with everything you’ve achieved now, you have every reason to be proud.”Miranda’s eyes widened slightly.Felix had gone out of his way to get that opportunity for her?Was this from the same time he gave that combined master’s and doctoral spot to Fiona? He had made those arrangements for her too?Mir

An assistant leaned over and said, “Fiona, are you watching Miranda’s interview too?”Fiona let out a cold laugh. “What’s there to watch?”“I heard you and Miranda used to be classmates. Is that true?” the assistant asked, clearly fishing for gossip.Fiona gave a short, mocking laugh. “Yeah, we were classmates. But everything she has came from her father and her ex-husband, Felix Gibson. And now she’s up there acting like she did it all on her own.”The assistant immediately leaned in, eyes wide with interest. “Seriously? You mean Miranda only got that award because of her father and ex-husband?”Another assistant cut in. “Even so, that is still pretty impressive.”“Impressive?” Fiona said with a dismissive sneer. “Her father left behind a lot of research notes. She is just building on the academic foundation he gave her. If she managed to make a couple of breakthroughs that way, that’s not exactly surprising.”Both assistants nodded right away, clearly buying it.“So I guess M

“Then it’s settled,” Mike said with a smile.A server soon began bringing out the food, and before long the table was covered with beautifully plated dishes. Every plate looked almost too pretty to touch.“Try this,” Mike said, serving her a piece of fish. “It was caught fresh today. It’s supposed to be incredibly tender.”Miranda smiled. “I can serve myself. You eat. You just got back, so you must be starving.”Mike paused for a moment, a quiet warmth spreading through him. He really had just landed, gone home for a quick shower, and come straight here to pick her up.As they ate, they caught up on each other’s lives. Mike shared a few stories from work, and Miranda told him about the award ceremony. The mood stayed light and easy.“My dad thinks very highly of you too,” Mike said, setting down his fork and lifting his glass. His eyes were steady and serious. “He really admires you.”Miranda blinked in surprise, then smiled, clearly touched. “Please thank Uncle Justin for me.”

Miranda spotted a tower nearby that visitors were allowed to climb, and on a whim, she turned to Mike and said, “I want to go up there and see the view.”“Okay. I’ll go with you,” Mike said.They headed toward the old tower together. The view from the top was beautiful, but because it was such an old structure, the stairway inside was extremely narrow. Only one person could go through at a time, and anyone tall had to duck to avoid hitting the beams overhead.That made things a little awkward for Mike.They had just passed the second level and were heading up to the third when four people started coming down from above. In the tight space, the girl in front said politely, “Excuse us. Could you let us through? We need to get down.”Miranda quickly stepped back onto a slightly wider landing below. At the same time, Mike had nowhere else to move, and his tall frame boxed her in. The first woman coming down was a little heavyset, and as she squeezed past Mike, she accidentally bumped
