The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 405

The moment Felicia hit send, she finally felt her heart settle. It was done. Now she just needed to handle the handover and all the follow-up details.

Lina knocked and stepped inside, bringing up some issues about the next phase of operations. She mentioned that an overseas partner was coming in today to talk about distribution. Did Felicia want to meet them herself?

Felicia nodded. “Sure, Lina, you handle it.”

“Alright,” Lina said, but she didn't leave.

Felicia looked up from her desk. “Something else?”

Lina hesitated, then smiled a little sadly. “Just thinking about how we probably won’t see much of you in the future. I’m really going to miss you.”

Northstar Dynamics’ success wasn’t just on Felicia’s shoulders. It had been a team effort, and Lina was easily one of the most important people in making it happen.

Felicia stood up and walked around the desk, pulling Lina into a hug. “I should have talked to you all before making the decision. I’m sorry.”

Lina hugged her back. “I was a bit mad when I first heard, but I get it. You’ve been exhausted. You deserve a break.”

Felicia nodded, stepping back. She looked Lina in the eyes, sincere. “Thank you, Lina. Let’s keep in touch, okay?”

Lina just nodded. “You should get ready. The meeting’s at two.”

“Got it.”

Max showed up at Holden’s villa. Inside, a couple of bodyguards were waiting.

One of them stepped in front of him. “Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Holden isn’t available right now.”

Max just looked at him. “Go let him know I’m here.”

He didn’t wait for an answer. He just walked over to the sofa and sat down.

The bodyguard hesitated but eventually went upstairs.

Ten minutes dragged by. Then three stunning girls came down the stairs, their skin marked in a way that made it clear what they’d been up to. They stopped, surprised to see a tall, sharp-looking man sitting on the couch. They glanced at each other, then sauntered over, hips swaying.

The one in front made a move to sit on Max’s lap, but he shot her a look and said, “Leave!”
