The night was dark and quiet. The only sounds were the keyboards tapping and the handling of lab equipment.Paul glanced over to see Miranda diligently recording data. The light illuminated her face and cast a faint shadow from the bridge of her nose.He had always worked late alone, sometimes even
Lilian thought, "Fine. I'll give you the massage. If anything goes wrong, it isn't my fault anyway. You're the one asking for it."Then, she said, "Okay. Please lie down."Ingrid reclined on the couch. "You only get things done when you're being threatened. Looks like you only learn the hard way. Ho
After turning off the water and putting on a bathrobe, Hansel swiftly twisted the doorknob just as the shadow was about to press against the door. When he pulled it open, he bumped straight into Ingrid."Who let you in here?" His eyes blazed with fury. "I told you this room was off-limits. Can't you
Evelyn sighed in relief upon hearing that. "It's good that it's nothing serious. Does she need to take any medication?"The doctor shook his head. "The patient's health is fine. There's no need for medication. Just take her home and let her rest."Evelyn pursed her lips and realized that Ingrid was
Miranda felt a lump in her throat but understood Christine's words. For Christine, research always came first. She didn't care about the length of her life but rather the depth of the sea of research.Perhaps she would never reach the bottom or might tire out on her path, but that didn't matter. Sh
Miranda blinked in confusion. She wondered if Matthew didn't have any conscience.After dozing off for an hour, she glanced at the clock and realized it was already 8:00 am. She quickly gathered her things and rushed to the lab.Paul noticed she was half an hour late and looked slightly off. "Didn't
Hansel's head was pounding, and his mood grew increasingly irritable. He switched to silence mode and set his phone face down on the table. He said coldly, "Continue."Everyone else kept their eyes on the floor to avoid any stray glances.After the meeting, Hansel returned to his office and glanced
Ingrid furiously marched to her room and slammed the door shut.Martha had just woken up the following morning and was still in her sleepwear when she heard Ingrid yelling from upstairs."Bring me to the hospital now."Martha's lips twitched. Last time, she had been flustered and genuinely worried.
The police arrived swiftly. Upon receiving the report, the hotel immediately sent staff to cooperate with the investigation. First, they sealed off Paul's room and collected air samples. Next, they proceeded to the surveillance room to retrieve surveillance footage, accompanied by the hotel manager
"You— What's wrong?" Miranda asked. The heat from Paul's palm was like a burning hot iron. The moment he touched her wrist, Miranda felt an extraordinary scorching sensation from his skin. "Miranda, do you know what you're doing?"Miranda waved the fever patch in her hand. "I'm about to stick this
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
Miranda spoke in a tone that was neither hot nor cold, her attitude as indifferent as always. Elizabeth couldn't help but glance inside the room. "Have you seen Dr. Jefferson?""Yes, we met at the banquet. We came back together.""And after that?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. "After what?" Miranda l
Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute. She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end. Whe
Miranda sneered coldly. "Does this mean any woman with a bit of achievement must have climbed her way up by sleeping with men in your eyes? Speaking of which, let's just take a look at Dr. Rachel Browne from Echo Bay Institute of Technology. "Not only is she one of the country's top astrophysicists
Paul came looking for Miranda after asking a waiter for directions. Unexpectedly, he saw Wyatt chasing Miranda just as he approached. Paul blurted out those words in that moment of urgency when he saw Wyatt reaching out to grab her. Wyatt's hand froze in midair. Meanwhile, Miranda was momentarily
"Mind having a chat?" Wyatt asked.Although Miranda felt puzzled, she maintained a smile on her face. "I don't mind, but we don't seem to be in the same academic field.""Didn't you say during your speech at the forum yesterday that the charm of research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration? I
These old-timers like Crosby weren't strangers to trying to matchmake Paul, whether setting him up with relatives or pairing him with students. Over the years, they had tried countless times, and Paul's answer was always the same. "Not considering it at the moment."Crosby hadn't planned on bringing
