The temperature had been rising since the beginning of July. The weather forecast issued a red alert due to the high temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which had persisted for a week. After repeated calculations and verifications, there was finally some progress in Paul's experiment. With great
This was a rare opportunity for Miranda."If you're interested, you can take this home and look it over carefully." Paul took out a USB drive and placed it in front of her. "This contains the details of the experiment materials." Miranda looked up, her bright eyes filled with emotion. "Thank you. I
Miranda finished her morning run and took a shower. When she came out, she noticed the new pink succulent among the rows of differently-shaped green ones on her balcony.She gently poked the leaves with her finger. Her mood improved considerably when she laid her eyes on the soft and tender succulen
Seated on the couch, Sam smiled faintly when he saw the awkward expression on Calvin's face. "You really don't have to worry about that. After all, Calvin was the one who lied and said that he wanted to eat it, so Miranda made the soup for him. As for her, she won't be coming." Hansel's face darke
At the library, Miranda had been working on two practice papers in a row. She got stuck on the last question for both papers. She'd been trying to solve it for a long time, but she still couldn't find the answer. Finally, she remembered seeing a similar problem in a book and got up to look for the
Hansel endured the lecture for a few seconds before hanging up abruptly. Then, he switched his phone to flight mode. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Once he got home, he felt less agitated and let out a long breath. As he was about to go upstairs, he changed his mind and found himself turning
In the stillness of the night, a soft murmur sounded from the other end of the line, "Mimi, I'm in pain." Miranda could detect a slight quiver in Hansel's voice.In that instant, she felt an instinctive pang of heartache. Hansel was a stubborn man with a cutting tongue, and he'd always put on a bra
Ingrid felt a little unsettled and shook Hansel's arm. "Dear, what's wrong?" He snapped out of his reverie and waved his hand. "It's nothing. I'm fine now, so you can focus on your classes. "You don't need to come here every day anymore. There'll be a lot going on at the office, so I'll be busy th
Christine asked, "Oh, you're talking about Emilia Quimby?"Miranda echoed, "Emilia Quimby?""Yeah, she and Paul were in the Department of Biology together. I heard she was the campus belle back then."Miranda smiled and nodded. "She really was beautiful."Emilia's natural look was simple yet strikin
This wasn't quite like Paul's usual "make every second count" personality. But he said, "Getting to spend more time with my girlfriend is my idea of making every second count, and… I'm fine with that." With that, he left with a cheerful stride.At the lab, Miranda was the first to arrive. Sebastian
They decided to have Jovanian food for dinner. As soon as they sat down, Sandy tugged on Bryan's sleeve and whispered, "This place isn't cheap, right?"Bryan replied, "About 1500 per person."Sandy gasped. "Dr. Quinton really has guts.""I'd say Dr. Jefferson doesn't mind at all. He hasn't stopped
Miranda had no choice but to respond, "No.. It's not like that, Dr. Quinton…"Silas looked as though he had been struck by a heavy blow. His voice dropped to a whisper, "So… Did you do it voluntarily?""Yeah…" she murmured. Silas lamented once more, "Miranda, you're such a lovely young woman. You'd
The door to the break room was forcefully opened. The latter part of Silas' sentence was caught in his throat as he froze at the door, as still as a statue. He blinked hard, but the shocking scene before him remained unchanged. Miranda's slender waist was firmly encircled by Paul's strong arm, pul
Paul asked, "Did I hurt you?"Miranda said, "Are you crazy? We're in your lab!""So?""This is your workplace. Do you think we're at home?"How could he kiss her out of nowhere? What was he thinking?Paul's breathing was slightly heavy. "You're only half right.""What?""We're at the lab, but this i
The next day, Miranda arrived at the lab to find Sebastian and Madison already there. "Miranda!" the two of them excitedly called out to her."How's Mr. Hill doing? Is everything sorted out now?" she asked.Madison nodded. "Yes, it's all taken care of! Thanks to Seb—"Miranda glanced at the two of
Paul's eyes were like two liquid pools, dark and deep like an endless abyss. The desire that burned within them was like a lurking beast. "Goodnight, Dr. Jefferson," Miranda said. Taking a deep breath, Paul's hand lingered on her skin before finally withdrawing it with a gentle pinch on her slende
Meanwhile, in a quiet alley under the same night sky, Miranda couldn't stop herself from smiling as she put away her phone. Paul threw away his trash and walked over to join her. "What's making you so happy?" he asked."A social media post on my food."Paul said, "Whose is it?"Miranda unlocked her
