"Mimi… I miss you so much… Will you come back, please?"The only response Hans got was the dark, empty living room and the harsh wind howling outside.…The next morning, Miranda woke up early. She washed up and made breakfast. After tidying up, she got ready to head to the lab.As she was closing t
The technician sighed. "You've asked me five times already. I'm still working on it. I need to find out what's causing the issue before I can restore the data properly."Bryan quickly replied, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Please focus on your work."He couldn't help but glance in Paul's dir
"Six months ago, they launched a new feature."As Miranda mentioned this, the technician's eyes lit up. "Are you talking about the AI Recorder?"Everyone else looked puzzled. This wasn't their field of expertise, so they didn't fully understand.Paul said, "You must be referring to Sun Terminal's so
Elizabeth's expression shifted slightly, and she snapped, "Miranda Sutton, what nonsense are you spouting? I've entered every single report from our group into the system, and none of them are missing!"If anyone doubts it, you can check the entry logs. Even though most data was lost due to computer
Within seconds, a large amount of related data appeared on the screen. Sandy shouted, "Sir, sir! Come over, quick! Check if these are the data…"The technician hurried to the computer and began working. After a bit of clicking, he said, "It looks like some data is being read back, but I'm not sure i
Paul: "Yes. Someone broke into the surveillance room and brought the virus into the internal network through the monitoring system."Miranda: "Who was it?"Paul: "The person was wearing a mask, so their identity isn't clear, but it's certain they're someone from Bedford College."Miranda pressed her
"Get out!" Hansel shouted."Hans…" Ingrid pleaded."I said get out! Can't you hear me?"Ingrid bit her lip as she trembled with hurt. There wasn't even a trace of pity on Hansel's face. "And one more thing. Unless I give you permission, don't you dare step foot in this room again. Got it?""Why?" I
"What kind of medicine?""The kind that… makes a man… interested…"There was silence on the other end for a couple of seconds before a sudden scoff. "Have you really fallen so low that you need to drug a man to get him going?"Ingrid flushed with anger. "Just tell me if you can get it or not. The re
"So, are you saying the school is behind this?""Not necessarily. Dr. Jefferson probably wanted to focus on research anyway. I mean, research gets results—what does teaching get you? A bunch of lovestruck students fangirling over him? Haha.""What do you know? That's just an excuse. There's way more
Paul regretted not landing a punch on Hansel when he had the chance.Miranda pulled her shirt back down and turned to him. "Where's my yogurt?"He chuckled. "Here."She took it, quickly opened it, and held it out to him with a smile. "Thank you for saving the damsel in distress today. Here's your re
"And you think an ex-boyfriend like you deserves it?" Paul shot back. The mention of "ex-boyfriend" immediately silenced Hansel.Paul glanced at his face. His eyes landed on Hansel's left cheekbone, which was scratched and still oozing blood."You should be grateful Mimi didn't get hurt. Otherwise…
"…Sorry," Hansel said. Miranda turned and walked away, but he caught up with her again."Stay away from me!" she snapped."Okay. I won't touch you or even come near you." He took a step back. However, his gaze lingered on her face and was filled with longing as if he had a thousand words to say.Mi
What Hansel saw instead was Miranda in Paul's arms. Her arms wrapped around Paul's neck as if it were second nature to her. Her smile was bright and radiant—youthful in a way that was full of life.…Back at the apartment, Paul and Miranda went into the kitchen. She made steamed broccoli and shrimp
Before starting the engine, Miranda texted Paul to ask if he was working late that night."No." His response came fast.He then sent a photo of an empty shopping cart and wrote, "I just got to the grocery store. Do you want to join me?"Miranda quickly replied, "I'll be there in 30 minutes. Wait for
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.Miranda's eyelashes fluttered, then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, reached for the robe beside her, and slipped it on. Glancing over at Paul, who was still asleep next to her, she quietly got out of bed.In the kitchen, she was preparing breakfast. As sh
Zach straddled the man and threw a few more punches at him. Winter was flung to the ground by his violent shove and twisted her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her the moment she tried to move. "Zach, have you lost your mind? I'm calling the police!" she shouted. Her words made Zach pause mid-ac
The moment those words left Zach's mouth, the poker table fell into dead silence. The chaotic noise around them seemed to fade into the background as a deafening explosion went off in Hansel's mind. Only one sentence echoed over and over in his ear…Miranda had a boyfriend…Had a boyfriend…Boyfrie
