old Brielle had hoped that her husband would be overjoyed to hear this news, that it turned out to be her naive thinking.

Felix never showed much enthundas, he simply did his best to fulfill the role of a responsible father to be while I was pregnant. But deep down. I suspected he resented the obligation

So, to honor that memory, I selected a sophisticated version of that dress, trying in remind Felix of that heartbreaking period. The drem was elegant navy blue like the deep might sky. Simple, yet stunning. Beautiful in the seme that it was perfectly tailored, with clean lines that cntioned my transformed figure perfectly. The dress had a subtle sophistication that commanded respect.

I was sathdied by my appearance. Though the memories related to this style stung, I was hopeful that it would provoke Feliz into revealing something

With my hopes strategically positioned, I went to a restaurant to confrunt my former husband. It was wise that he picked a secure place for dinner. Due to our business dealings, it would be impossible to have a professional dinner at a public place. Boston’s media was renowned for spreading rumors about celebrities and the business community

It would be bell to deal with another scandal!

As I walked in, my

“So, professional!*

A tingling sensation shot up my spine as I raised my head and saw impeccably dressed Felix. He observed me with calculating eyes. Ignoring has analytical remark, looked around as a waiter rushed to assist me.

“Good evening, matam. Let me.”

Felix didn’t let him complete his sentence and dismissed him,

“Thanks!”

After sending the waiter away with his authoritative tone, be gestuped for me to follow him to our reserved talle, sending subtle signals across my senses. I was frozen to my spot for a moment.

Was he really the same Felix I married?

Looking at that courteous man, I refused to believe my eyes. ouldn’t be the same man who didn’t care when I begged for his attention.

“Miss Becker, this way!” My trance was broken by Felix’s voice as he guided me to the corner table reserved for us. I sighed while following his lead. The servers made sure to provide perfect lighting after we were seated

Grinning inwardly, I glanced at felix, thrilled by the upcoming shock. I keenly observed his face for any reaction

As the lights illuminated my outfin clearly, Felix finally got a complete look at my dress. His face showed a brief flicker of recognition, sending satisfaction through my heart. I could see his breath catch for a moment: his startled expression was proof of my success.

Seizing this opportunity, I leaned forward slightly and slowly adjusted my napkin, smiling mysteriously. I looked directly at him and asked in a confident tone,

“Is there something wrong, Mr. Reed?”

Felix’s eyes locked onto mine, staring deep into my soul. I was taken aback by the intense stare. His gaze traveled from my face to my outfit as he swiftly composed himself like a master and met my eyes again.

“What are you trying to accomplish. Miss Becker

His controlled smile in response made my sides flutter, making me slightly nervous as he said,

Ein concealed complaint made me chuckle. I responded to him,

“The competation is tough among established professionals. But it’s rare to find gifted children for STEM fields for tented ables: he will be a great engineer in the future.”

Zoe’s mention w

ay to ease into the real conversation, as Felix didn’t suspect me when I asked him casually.

“Did you know I was struggling back then? Why didn’t you try to help me when I needed it

Tel’s eyes showed pain as his face took a troubled look. He took a few deep breaths, then said. “Twas sorry about what happened, but I truly didn’t know how much you were suffering. I thought you left because you found someone better.”

His straightforward response knotted my stomach, sending shivers down my spine. I found myself at a loss for words, unable to ask whether my identity was obvious or if my appearance had given me away

I was pondering over other methods to get information from bam when my cell phone rang, bringing me back to reality.

Felix also looked at my phone as it was on the table. I glanced at Jis curious face before attending the incoming video call. The picture of a handsome Edonde man appeared on my screen as the call connected. The warmth in his blue eyes calized me as he spoke gently,

As Telax was sitting beside me, he could see the man on the other side, and God! It provoked him as well. His face darkened at the sight of his old acquaintance: Mr. Bright Wilson

That businessman was a former aerospace engineer who had retired from technical work to fiscus entirely on his investment portfolio His reurement had left a space which provided an opportunity for Felix to shove in the community. Back in the days when Felis first started out, he was commonly.

But this interruption backfired completely as Bright used it to redirect the conversation to their past collaboration,

“Nothing is more exciting than developing cutting–edge technology, Felix, I truly missed the innovation and excitement of engineering. It makes a professional feel alive, Our collaboration was remarkable.

Bright had a long list of Felix’s technical struggles from his early years. Their mention made Felix squirm in his seat. His helplessness fairly i me; it was a sight to watch his discomfort. My hand flew to my face as I suppressed my laughter.

My attempt to hide my amusement received an icy place from Felix. Limmediately returned to neutral expressions, pretending to be absorbed in Bright’s conversation.

After one attempt, Felix did ask him about his current projects and interests. But like a skilled conversationalist, Bright didn’t even budge continuously talking about their technical collaboration.

After a few rounds of this, Felix eventually had to accept defeat as he sighed,

“If you want to laugh, just laugh. I dont care

As the discussion was prolonged because of Bright’s connection with Felix, I concluded in with formal pleasantries. I hadn’t informed Bright about my past with Felix: it would be unsafe to discuss that era for so long,

“I’ll come to pick you up at the airport, Bright. See you soon.”

Wath that, I disconnected the call, checking my cell phone. I was thinking about making an excuse to leave when Felix’s suspicious tone resounded in

“Bright retired from engineering long ago. How do you know him, Miss Becker?”

The look of disbelief on his face twisted my gut, making me panic. His actory gaze was fixed on me as if I were a woman who manipulated multiple men. My relationship with Bright was indeed special, more than business partners or old acquaintances.

But why should I tell him?

Did he tell me about his ex wife?

Poting my tongue to halt a savage reply. I spoke carefully,

“Mr. Bright is someone I know through badness connections. And regarding Henry…

Shoot!

Why did mention Henry without any prompting?

Cursing myself inwardly, I spotted fury in Felix’s eyes. He was furies to hear about Henry all of a mulden. So, to defuse some tension, Lecovered my mistake with an expistsation

“Henry is my business advisor.”

My response made Telix smile meaningfully. He leaned in and raised his brow

“So, you are single now?”
