No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 770

When Eleanor finished work, Joel came by to discuss the commercial project. Goodwin Biotech was assembling a new R&D team, but from their side, only Faye was being transferred.

“I got the email. Honestly, Faye leaving the team is for the best,” Joel said. Faye was too emotionally invested, and she seemed to go out of her way to provoke Eleanor. Joel had wanted her off the team for a while now.

Besides, Faye’s open infatuation made Joel uncomfortable. He believed that mixing feelings with work only undermined one’s professionalism.

Because of her sister’s connections, Faye had her pick of projects—everything except the core neural interface research.

“I’ll make sure everything’s handled properly. We can make the basic data available, but anything involving patents has to go through the approval process, per the partnership agreement,” Joel said.

Eleanor nodded. “Alright.”

Just then, Joel’s phone rang. He answered, “Hello?”

“Dr. Kingsley, Mr. Goodwin would like you to come to Goodwin & Co. for a private meeting,” came Gavin’s voice.

“What’s this about?” Joel frowned.

“Mr. Goodwin didn’t specify, but he asked if you could come by after work,” Gavin replied, sounding insistent.

“Alright, I’ll be there,” Joel said.

After hanging up, he turned to Eleanor. “Ian wants to see me after work. Do you know what it's about?”

Eleanor thought for a moment, then shook her head. “No idea. Maybe it’s something urgent on the business side.”

“If it’s work-related, I would’ve thought he’d want to talk to you too,” Joel mused.

“I’m just about done for the day—you go ahead,” Eleanor told him.

Joel nodded. They headed downstairs to the parking lot together. Faye, who was on her phone in the lobby, glanced over and felt a pang of jealousy watching them.
