This summer felt unusually hot.From Monday to Friday, classrooms, labs, and the library all had their air conditioning turned on. The weekends were just as nice, with the cool breeze from the air conditioner at home and chilled watermelon to enjoy.Sitting in the cool air, eating watermelon, and re
"What a pity," Winter muttered.She smiled faintly and continued, "It's okay. A broken phone can be replaced, and a lost SIM card can be reissued. My number hasn't changed, so I won't lose contact."After all, most of the time, they contacted her. Winter rarely took the initiative to call anyone. If
Naturally, Winter didn't hear anything. She took a picture of the bar counter with her new phone, focusing on a wine glass hanging upside-down. The background was blurred out. Then, she gave it a caption, "It's a lazy afternoon, feeling bored in the summer."She hit the post button. Then, she threw
Changing the password was basic stuff."Do you only do this with me or with everyone?" Zach asked."Of course not everyone. Like my mom or Mimi, I text them the new password whenever I change it. And when they come over, I won't change it after. Why do you ask?""Then why did you change it after I k
Zach said, "No… Why do you want to end the partnership just like that? We can talk things out!" Winter sneered. "Didn't you just imply that the partnership will end if I don't agree? Look, I hate forcing people, and I despise people who change their minds all the time. We had an agreement, and now
Miranda nodded. "It's no trouble.""Thank you."As soon as Paul stepped inside, the cool air hit him. It was a stark contrast to the heat in his own home. Since it wasn't his first time in her apartment, Paul casually changed into a pair of house slippers while Miranda went to get him a glass of wat
Paul emerged from her bathroom. The bathroom door was facing directly toward the coat rack, leaving the two of them no chance to avoid each other. Their gazes met instantly!Paul was holding onto the clothes he had just changed out of. His hair was still wet, water dripping down his hair and soakin
It wasn't the first time they had worked together. Paul washed the vegetables and helped out with chores, waiting for Miranda's instructions. Meanwhile, Miranda was in charge of chopping and cooking. Soon, four dishes and a bowl of soup were served at the table. They sat across from each other. Pa
Winter said, "Mr. Jensen, we'll be off—"Suddenly, Miranda interjected with a smile, "Why not join us for a meal? After all, we've already booked the restaurant.""Really?" Sawyer was so thrilled that he could barely speak.Winter was puzzled. She gave Miranda a look that said, "Are you serious?"Mi
"Hello." Miranda nodded slightly in greeting.Sawyer left his friends behind and walked up to her. "You're here for a haircut too?""Yes.""Well… I mentioned wanting to treat you to a meal last time. Would you happen to be free today?" he asked. Miranda replied, "I'm sorry, I'm here with a friend."
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
