All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1391 - Chapter 1400

Then the team turned their attention to James.As the team lead and one of the project’s biggest contributors, he was an obvious target for toasts. James wasn’t very good at saying no, so he kept smiling and drinking along with everyone else.He was not much of a drinker to begin with, and alcohol showed on him easily. Before long, his face had turned noticeably red.When the last colleague came over to toast James, Miranda remembered that he couldn’t hold his liquor the way Felix could.“Give James a break,” she said with a smile.James hadn’t even registered what she said yet, but Felix’s grip tightened around his wineglass.His gaze settled on Miranda.She was smiling as she stepped in for James, looking every bit like someone who cared about him and couldn’t bear to watch him drink himself sick.She could show James that kind of easy concern without a second thought.But with Felix, there was always a distance between them.Felix lowered his eyes, his lashes shadowing the

Felix opened the passenger door and slid into the seat.Just as Miranda was about to start the car, she noticed that he hadn’t buckled his seat belt. He was leaning back with his eyes half-closed, as if he had forgotten.“Seat belt,” she reminded him.Felix opened his eyes slowly and turned to look at her, his gaze slightly unfocused.He reached for the belt, but after a few clumsy tries, he still couldn’t get it to latch.Miranda frowned and leaned across to help him.Felix let her fasten it for him. But just as she started to pull her hand back, his large hand closed lightly around her wrist.The heat of his palm made her pause.She looked up at him, brows drawn together.“Keep your hands to yourself.”Felix released her immediately.“Miranda,” he said softly. “Thank you.”His voice was low and rough, carrying a tenderness she chose to ignore.Drunk men could be unpredictable. Miranda only wanted to get him home without him causing any more trouble.“Sit still,” she sai

Just as Miranda stepped into the lobby, she came face-to-face with Felix as he walked out of the elevator.He was dressed in a dark button-down, his suit jacket draped over one arm. His silver hair had been styled neatly, and he was clearly on his way out.Felix stopped in his tracks.Since the divorce, he had seen Miranda most often in a white lab coat, focused and composed in the lab. He had seen her confident at the podium and elegant at formal events.But it had been a long time since he had seen her like this.Fresh from a morning run, full of life and energy.Sunlight streamed in behind her. Her fitted workout clothes outlined her lean, athletic figure, while a few damp strands of hair clung to her flushed cheeks.For a moment, Felix couldn’t look away.He knew exactly how beautiful she was. Having a child hadn’t changed that.Miranda felt his gaze on her. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and started to walk past him.“Morning,” Felix said

Adrian let out a relieved breath. “I’m glad we finally got the handover wrapped up.”“Take next week off,” Miranda told him. “The brain-computer interface equipment still needs to be packed and shipped to the base. Once the lab is cleared out, I’ll need to put together a list of equipment for the new project.”“Sounds good. I’m going to get away for a week,” Adrian said. “Call me if anything comes up.”They had all been working at a punishing pace. They had earned the break.After seeing Jacob and his team off, Miranda returned to her office.She looked out at the lab, which would soon be empty, and let out a small breath. The handover was finally behind her. Now she could start looking ahead to the new project.Her phone buzzed.It was a message from Felix.“Has Dr. Gordon’s team left?”Miranda had to give Felix credit. Over the past few weeks, he had taken care of most of Mia’s pickups and drop-offs. On nights when Miranda worked late, Gavin would sometimes arrive with dinne

But now, Coco had a steady job and was becoming more and more valued on Miranda’s team.Fiona, meanwhile, was the daughter of a man accused of murder.Coco might never become wealthy, but she would have a stable life. She would keep moving forward, one step at a time, and build something better for herself.Fiona would have to live with the shame of what Roger had done. Her future suddenly seemed bleak.“I’m fine,” Fiona said coolly, straightening her back on instinct.Coco gave her a small smile. “I’m glad.”Coco ordered two coffees. A few coworkers stopped by to say hello, and she chatted with them easily. She had become genuinely popular around the office.Fiona pressed her lips together.She had once been the cool, untouchable one in the lab. Now, it felt as though no one even saw her.“Isn’t that Fiona? The former chairman of York Corporation in the news today is her dad.”“Yeah. That’s her.”“I can’t believe he did something like that.”Fiona’s face went pale. Suddenl
