Winter took Miranda's hand and said, "Come on, let's go! I planned everything out before coming. I'll make sure you'll have the time of your life today!"…Right after that, an endless volley of screams continued for almost five minutes. "Save me!"Miranda rubbed her ringing ears. She looked at Wint
After lunch, Winter bought two tickets to an animal show. Excited, she took Miranda to see the dolphins.They followed the crowd to the southwest corner of the theme park, where the animal show hall was. The hall was air-conditioned. Compared to the heat wave outside, it felt like they'd come to hea
"You may enter now."Behind the staff was a curtain that opened to the sides. A slight breeze blew from inside, lifting a corner of the curtain and revealing a pitch-black corridor.From time to time, shrill screams sounded. Winter swallowed and grabbed Miranda's hand, shuffling forward.Miranda had

At that moment, the staff's voice came from the entrance. "The route malfunction has been fixed. Please stop pushing and instead move toward the exit in an orderly manner…"With someone managing the crowd, the chaos quickly came to an end.Miranda didn't bother giving Hansel another look before leav
Hansel was in the middle of a candlelit dinner with Ingrid at an upscale restaurant. When he saw the messages, his face fell.Ingrid saw how his expression turned dark all of a sudden. "What's wrong?" she asked cautiously. Biting back his anger, Hansel said nothing. He unlocked his phone and typed

"By the way, how's your family?" Miranda suddenly asked.Emilia was completely caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "How do you know?""I heard from the pea… I mean, Santiago."Emilia's grandmother had been hospitalized recently. Her father had passed away years ago from liver ci
That night, Emilia couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed before finally giving up. She spent the entire night researching everything about Miranda, including her résumé, research direction, and thesis publications…By the time she finished, Emilia had no choice but to admit that Miranda was t
Miranda remarked, "Dr. Vain, do you have a cramp in your eyebrow?"Santiago smirked. "Mimi, you do this every time. Oh, I get it. You actually like this kind of banter, don't you?"Miranda mentally rolled her eyes. Paul was way better at this game.She replied, "I've said this many times before. Ple
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
Despite Santiago's flamboyant demeanor, he was still competent at his job. At the very least, his training content was useful. Miranda listened attentively to his lecture. Even Madison eventually stopped nitpicking, despite complaining about him the whole time. Santiago ended the class at 5:30 pm,

At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi
