The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 839

Ophelia Powell, having married Zachary Zollinger, had fully integrated into the Zollinger Group.

Her current mission in life was aggressively poaching every lucrative contract the Powell Group tried to secure.

Today's target was Ms. Finch, the influential director of a premier pharmaceutical lab in the Capital.

The Powell Group had been courting her for a partnership, and Ophelia was determined to snatch it.

After lavishing Ms. Finch with expensive gifts and relentless flattery, Ophelia had finally secured this lunch meeting.

Everything had been going smoothly until Ophelia tried to transition to business.

Ms. Finch expertly deflected every attempt, showing zero interest in a collaboration.

Ophelia knew closing this deal would be an uphill battle, so she maintained a pleasant facade, preparing for a long game.

But halfway through their meal, Ms. Finch suddenly stood up and marched straight toward Winona's table.

The aloof, strictly-business demeanor Ms. Finch had shown Ophelia vanished, replaced by a radiant, genuine smile as she looked at Winona.

"Winona Jowett! What a delightful coincidence," Ms. Finch said warmly.

They had never officially met, but Ms. Finch had avidly followed the news of Winona's recent award.

Brilliant female researchers were rare enough; one of Winona's caliber was a unicorn.

Winona didn't recognize her, but Valor Bell certainly did.

Despite knowing Ms. Finch was a direct competitor for Winona's talents, his professional courtesy won out, and he made the introductions.

Winona had read several of Ms. Finch's peer-reviewed papers and deeply respected her work. She immediately stood and shook her hand.
