Felix’s gaze darkened, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly, but he didn’t say a word. He did, however, walk out with the coffee still in his hand.When the door closed behind him, Miranda stood at her desk and clenched her teeth. “Jerk.”She muttered the word under her breath.After a moment, she took a long breath and patted her cheeks firmly. She still had work to finish. She refused to waste time or energy on something so pointless.When she returned from her rounds, she found a takeout coffee bag sitting on her desk. The packaging made it clear it was freshly brought over from a nearby cafe.Miranda knew right away that Felix must have sent someone to deliver it. She picked up the bag, fully prepared to throw it straight into the trash.But she still had hours of work left. She would be in the hospital until ten o’clock, and she needed caffeine to stay sharp.Her fingers tightened slightly. In the end, she pulled the cup from the bag, took a small sip, and turned back to the

“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 message. “Can I just say he had it coming?”Miranda replied, “You’re not wrong.”“York Corporation’s reputation in the business world has been rotten for years. And Felix still helped him go public. He is basically teaming up with a crook. Now he is being dragged down with him. I want to see how he explains this mess,” Sophie wrote.Miranda finished reading the article. It was clear that some outlets were digging up York Corporation’s past scandals in order to target Felix. Maybe one of Felix’s competitors had finally found leverage against him. Either way, it had nothing to do with her, and she had no interest in paying attention.At that moment, in the top-floor conference room at Gibson C

Mrs. Wood felt a warmth in her chest. Miranda really did think about other people first.“Alright, I will head out now. Eat a little more,” she said with a cheerful smile before stepping outside.Miranda had barely eaten at noon, and she was starving. She had just taken a bite of the pastries when she heard a surprised voice outside her door.“Mr. Gibson? Are you looking for Miranda?”It was Adrian.“No.” A cold voice followed.Adrian watched in confusion as Felix turned around and walked away without another word. Adrian then stepped into Miranda’s office with a stack of files.“Did Mr. Gibson need something from you just now?” Adrian asked curiously.Miranda had no idea Felix had been standing outside her door. She shook her head. “I have no idea. Here, have something to eat.”“It smells amazing.” Adrian grabbed two pieces of pastry and headed out.Miranda picked up her phone and sent a grateful message to Haley. “Thank you for the soup and pastries, Aunt Haley. I really ap

Miranda was assigned to the guest residence at the National Military Medical University. Everything had been arranged flawlessly.When she arrived at the university hospital, she was greeted with a level of respect she had never experienced before. The hospital director came out personally to welcome her, accompanied by several medical experts. A young woman even handed her a bouquet of flowers.Miranda felt caught off guard. She had always preferred to keep a low profile, and this kind of enthusiasm made her a little uneasy.“Miranda, I’m a former classmate of Eugene. He probably never mentioned me, but back in college, he and I played soccer together,” said Dr. Watson with a warm, hearty laugh.Miranda responded politely, “Good afternoon, Dr. Watson. My father really didn’t talk much about his college days.”Dr. Watson smiled at the memory. “Eugene was a star at our university back then. I never imagined his daughter would be just as impressive. You’re young, but you’ve already

Miranda took Mia’s hand and said calmly to Felix, “You can go. Mia will stay with me.”Mia looked up in surprise. “Mom, aren’t we having dinner with Dad?”Miranda gave her a gentle smile. “How about Mommy takes you to the city for a little fun later?”“But… but I want to be with both you and Dad.” Mia blinked her big eyes, her voice soft with hope. She clearly wanted to spend the holiday together as a family.Felix frowned slightly and looked at Miranda.Miranda looked at Mia, noticing the disappointment beginning to cloud her tiny face. It was a night meant for families to be together, and Mia could feel that. She had been hoping for a simple family dinner.Seeing Mia’s uncertain, worried expression made something inside Miranda twist painfully. She sighed softly. “Alright. We’ll have dinner together.”Mia instantly bounced with joy. “Yay! I finally get to spend the holiday with Mom and Dad!”Felix had booked a restaurant downtown in Hamilton.The driver took them to the rest
