The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 697

From the looks of things, even though Felicia hadn't accepted Max's advances, she was starting to waver. To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, it was best for her to keep her distance from him.

After Felicia left his office, Jeremy called Darin.

The call connected immediately.

Jeremy explained the situation. Darin said, “Felicia definitely can't be around Max anymore. Have her wrap up her work as soon as possible and head to Cloudville.”

He knew Max all too well. Max never failed to get what he wanted, especially when it came to a woman.

Felicia was, at the end of the day, still a woman. She was no match for Max.

Felicia returned to her office.

A considerable amount of work had piled up over the past few days.

A knock came at the door, and Mason walked in.

“Evelynn!”

As her assistant, he knew her work ethic better than anyone. Working for her, no matter how busy or tiring, always felt worthwhile.

He was well aware of the office gossip, and while he knew Jeremy wouldn't fire Evelynn easily, he couldn't help but worry.

It was unbelievable that Evelynn was actually Max's wife. Mason had seen firsthand how Max had targeted her before. Now, Max was not only publicly acknowledging her but was also willingly conceding profits. The whole situation felt completely surreal.

Felicia noticed his concern and said reassuringly, “Don't worry, I'm not leaving Roen Capital. But I will be transferring to the Cloudville branch. Do you want to come with me?”

Mason was taken aback for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as I'm working with you, Evelynn, I don't care where we're based.”

Felicia smiled. “Alright then.”

She worked late that evening to catch up, ordering takeout for dinner with Savannah since she couldn't go out.

“Then come home soon, Mommy,” Anne insisted. “I'll wait for you to tuck me in before I go to sleep. I'll have Daddy come pick me up.”

“No, Daddy can stay with me. I can come home on my own after I’m done.”

After she hung up, Savannah remarked, “She’s such a little clinger.”

An undeniable warmth filled Felicia's eyes whenever she spoke of Anne. She truly was a wonderful child.

Felicia didn't finish her work until nine o'clock. By then, Anne would already be asleep, so she decided to go back to her own apartment at Oakridge Estate for the night.

Felicia packed her things and left her office.

Jeremy was leaving for the day as well.

They rode the elevator down together, and as they walked toward the main entrance, they immediately saw the man lounging on the lobby sofa.
