Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 641 - Bab 650

The meeting continued, and Felix forced himself to stay focused as the team presented the project updates. Every now and then, his suppressed cough would slip out.Miranda kept her head down, taking notes. Suddenly, Felix spoke up, his voice slightly hoarse. “Miranda, what are your recommendations for the safety testing plan?”She looked up, her expression calm and steady. “The company can activate a level-three protection protocol. The details are on page fifteen of the report.”Felix frowned slightly and flipped to the page.Nothing unusual happened afterward. Once the meeting ended, people began filing out. Ben remained in his seat and glanced toward Felix with concern. “Mr. Gibson, how did you end up catching a cold?”“I got caught in the rain,” Felix replied.“Did you go to the hospital for medicine?”“Not yet. I’ll go in a bit.”Ben blinked. Felix had come to work sick without even stopping by urgent care first. His dedication was impressive, maybe a little too much.“Mi

That night, Miranda received a call from Keith. He told her there would be an executive meeting at ten the next morning and asked if she could spare an hour to attend. Miranda agreed.In addition to being a researcher, Miranda was also a business owner with eight companies under her name. That evening, she temporarily set aside her work from DE and opened the financial reports Keith had sent. The two of them went over the details online.The next morning, Miranda put on a tailored royal-blue pantsuit. The pearl stud earrings she chose gave her a clean, polished look. After dropping Mia off at school, she drove to the Moutin Hotel.At the hotel’s breakfast lounge, Miranda dined like any other guest while the general manager and an assistant stayed close by, carefully watching her reactions to the food and service. Once she finished, she walked into the conference room. Sixteen senior executives immediately rose to greet her.“Good morning, Ms. Stone.”Miranda gave a small nod and h

Miranda let out a cold, almost mocking smile. “If I ever decide to get married again, you will be the first to know.”The elevator chimed as the doors opened on the ground floor. She walked out without looking back. Behind her, Felix finally stopped suppressing his cough.*At noon, Miranda pulled up in front of Lincoln Corporation. Leo was back at work today. His complexion looked much better than the last time she saw him, though the arm that had just come out of its cast was still a little stiff.She got out of the car and opened the passenger door for him. The gesture made Leo both embarrassed and touched. “I can handle opening a door.”Miranda gave him an easy smile. “I told you I would take care of you until you recovered.”Leo slid into the seat. The faint scent inside the car made him smile without realizing it.He had already booked a restaurant nearby. It only took ten minutes for Miranda to pull into the parking lot. As they walked inside, a server quickly approached.

“So many days have passed. He should be fine by now.”“Exactly. He never skips this kind of launch event.”When Coco pulled Miranda downstairs to watch the presentation, a sudden stir rose from the entrance. From a distance, the crowd slowly split apart, forming a clear path.Felix walked in wearing a sharp black suit. His posture was straight and commanding, and he looked completely recovered.Miranda instinctively tugged Coco in the opposite direction, wanting to slip out of sight. Felix’s gaze swept across the entire lobby like a hawk and landed on her almost instantly. Miranda turned just in time to meet his eyes.His stare lingered for only a brief second before he looked away and continued toward the stage. He showed no trace of illness.Ben rushed forward the moment Felix approached and shook his hand. “Next, let’s invite Mr. Gibson to say a few words.”Felix took the microphone. His deep voice filled the hall. “My apologies for arriving late. I have always placed high ho

Miranda frowned slightly. Ben’s explanation only half-convinced her. She decided she would take a closer look at the robot herself before forming an opinion.She hung up the phone and returned to the living room just in time to see Mia happily playing with the robot. Mia tilted her head and asked in a soft, sweet voice, “Airi, I want to hear Daddy tell a story.”The robot’s eyes blinked twice. A moment later, Felix’s gentle voice flowed out of the speaker. “Mia, what story would you like to hear?”“Wow! It really sounds like Daddy!” Mia clapped excitedly. “I want The Little Mermaid.”Miranda stood off to the side, brow furrowing again. Felix had even recorded his own voice for the robot. She could not deny that it was, in its own way, a form of fatherly presence.“Airi, come here. Follow me.”Mia walked toward the sofa, and the robot followed behind her. When she sat down, the robot stopped in front of her. Felix’s deep and magnetic voice began narrating the fairy tale in a warm,
