Zach frowned, feeling uninterested that night. "No need, take her away," he said.The manager's smile didn't falter as he motioned for Dani to leave, and they both walked away without protest.A little further down the hallway, Dani asked, "Didn't you say Mr. Zach usually likes company when he stays
The moonlight shone like water, stretching across the night.The next morning at nine, Zach woke up and went to find Winter. Just as he reached her door and prepared to knock, it swung open from the inside."Sh—"Uh!Standing in the doorway was a young man, his hair tousled as if he'd just woken up
"Why are you staring at me like that? Hurry up, I'm dying of thirst!" Winter urged.Resigned, Zach got up. As she gulped down the ice water, Winter finally felt fully awake."Did you have something to talk about? You've been waiting so long, I actually feel a bit bad..." she remarked.While he was f
"What you said before that.""Since Mr. Zach requested it…""The one before that."The manager replied, "Room 1901 checked out?"Zach's eyes widened. "She checked out?""Y-Yes, about ten minutes ago.""Shit—"The manager was puzzled. "Sir?""Get those women out of my sight! I can't stand looking at
The sudden flood of memories caught Miranda off guard. Was she really the one who had stubbornly grabbed his collar and refused to let go?Facing Paul's teasing gaze, she felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up."Remember now?" Paul asked with an amused tone."Sorry, I…" She s
Mindy was speechless, giving him a look that said, "Seriously?" It seemed Lionel couldn't praise someone without including himself.By 1:00 pm, Paul was prepared to leave. Lionel, still working on the plants on the balcony, called out, "Mimi, walk your Uncle Paul out!"Paul stumbled, his back stiffe
"Overseas?" Mindy asked, feeling stunned."Yes," Miranda confirmed. "In Southeast Alanda, both the e-book and physical sales of 'Murder Weapon' and 'The Deserted School' have consistently ranked among the top sellers."Mindy was taken aback again. "I didn't even know those books were released overse
For years, Mindy had dreamed of having her mystery works published again. She'd approached Edith countless times, but Edith always had an excuse to push it off.And now, someone was suddenly telling her that her work could be published.Warren continued on, "If you agree, we'll immediately apply for
Paul was at a loss for words.Miranda spoke again, "I'll need to wait a little longer. Dr. Jefferson, why don't you head to the garage first?""Alright."He wanted to stay, but there was no suitable excuse. In the end, he had no choice but to leave first. Miranda stood by the side of the road for a
"That's more like it." Madison hung up, but she still found it strange. Whenever they went out together before, Sebastian was always the one who arrived first. He would have already bought her favorite latte and snacks by the time she showed up on the dot. But today, something felt off. The feeli
At first, Wanda struggled because she typed slowly and made many typos. Gradually, she discovered she could use voice-to-text features. Later, a neighbor who ran a parcel delivery station in the neighborhood told her about becoming the leader for a group buy community. All she had to do was to shar
Miranda had been living in the lab for almost two weeks. Originally, the intensive focus period could have ended two days earlier. However, Madison seemed to be exceptionally motivated and decided to put in extra effort for some reason. She insisted on finalizing the second phase of the experiment
Miranda was momentarily stunned. "Dr. Jefferson? When did he get here?""Around 2:00 pm. He waited for over an hour. But since you haven't returned, he left about ten minutes ago." Ten minutes ago…"Miranda, is Dr. Jefferson under a lot of stress lately? Did their lab get assigned another project?
Miranda took the earring, thanked Sawyer again, and put it back on as she walked.He began, "Ms. Sutton…""Is there anything else?" she asked.Sawyer stammered, "I… I was wondering if I could treat you to a meal. How about tonight? If you're busy, just let me know when you're available so I can resc
Jordana froze momentarily, then chuckled. "You saw right through me… Fine. I'll lower it by 10%, but that's my bottom line."Miranda raised an eyebrow. "30%. That's my limit."Jordana paused. Miranda set her coffee cup down, stood up, and casually finished her drink. "Looks like we won't reach an a
"What's on your mind?" Miranda chuckled. "I'm not made of iron. If the task isn't urgent, why pull an all-nighter? What's the fun in that?"Madison agreed, "You're right. Then, how come you…""I just got up a little earlier than you."Madison sighed in relief and grinned. She asked casually, "How mu
When the rainy season began, the weather turned unpredictable. Yesterday had been sunny, but it drizzled today. Paul, who hadn't brought an umbrella, arrived home drenched. He immediately took a hot shower and changed into his loungewear.While drying his hair, he noticed the bare mattress and froz
