Felicia attended the meeting. However, Max did not show up on behalf of BlueMarble Investments. Instead, the vice president arrived alongside three other senior executives. Dannie had also accompanied them to join the discussion.
Felicia looked at Dannie, silently noting just how highly Max valued her presence.
The project was spearheaded by the Finance Bureau, and both companies were highly cooperative. Progress had been exceptionally smooth so far.
When the executives from BlueMarble Investments looked at Felicia this time, their expressions were noticeably different. The wife of their CEO was working as a core executive at a rival firm like Roen Capital, which seemed highly inappropriate no matter how one looked at it.
Of course, no one dared to openly voice their thoughts in such a setting. They simply greeted her with standard professional titles.
The meeting lasted until it finally concluded at half past five in the evening.
Roen Capital was expected to host a formal dinner to treat the visiting executives. Felicia chose not to attend. After the meeting ended, she stayed behind and worked overtime for another hour. Even when she finished her tasks, she lingered in her office for a while longer.
She held her phone, noticing that Anne had not contacted her today to ask when she would be home. Ever since they returned from their sailing trip and Olisha appeared at the Oakridge Estate, Max had not reached out to her, even during his business trip. He was acting as if she had committed some unforgivable offense against him.
She pocketed her phone, packed her things, and finally left work. She went alone to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
By sheer coincidence, she ran straight into Darin.
"Evelynn, are you here by yourself?" he asked.
"Do I look like half a person?" Felicia retorted sharply.
Darin didn't take offense. He just offered an easy smile. "I am dining alone as well. Why don't we eat together? Dinner is on me."
Felicia was about to open her mouth to refuse when Darin quickly added, "Just consider it doing a favor for your business partner."
Hearing this, the words Felicia was about to say died in her throat.
Taking advantage of her hesitation, Darin asked a waiter to prepare a table for them.
"Right this way, please."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
