No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1325

"Ellie, you're here!" Joel stood up with a smile and came over to greet her.

"Wow, Dr. Sutton's here!" the members of Joel's team exclaimed, pleased to see her.

Eleanor smiled and waved a hand. "Please, don't call me that. Just use my first name."

The team members who hadn't met her before came over to introduce themselves one by one. Eleanor greeted each of them, and the atmosphere was light and cheerful. They were all friends and colleagues, and the conversation buzzed with excitement about the project's success, punctuated by frequent laughter.

Just then, a male colleague looked around curiously and noticed one team member was missing—Faye.

He quickly sent her a text. [Faye, how come you're not at the dinner tonight?]

[There's a dinner tonight? How come I didn't know?] Faye texted back.

[You didn't get the email?] the colleague asked, surprised. [It's to celebrate the success of our project.]

Faye was at her family's house. Staring at the message, she bit her lip. How could she be the only one left out of such a big celebration?

Just then, another message came through. [Joel's team and Dr. Sutton's team are all here.]

Faye's expression darkened instantly. Eleanor was there? Was that why she wasn't invited? Was it Joel's idea, or did the order come from someone else?

Faye took a deep breath, but still feeling wronged, she dialed Joel's number.

Joel, who was in the middle of a lively conversation, saw her name on his screen, picked up his phone, and stepped out of the restaurant.

"Hello, Faye," he answered.

"Joel, I heard you guys are having a dinner. Was I forgotten? I didn't know anything about it," Faye asked, her voice light and casual.
