"Sam, what's your problem?" Hansel asked as he approached him."What are you talking about?" Sam replied."Why did you suspend the development project?"Sam casually took another sip of tea. "I didn't want to collaborate with you, so I suspended it. Do you have an issue with that?""You suspended it
"Do you seriously think that cutting ties with me will make Miranda forget our friendship and agree to be with you?" Hansel asked. "You're so naive." He snatched Sam's cup and smashed it on the floor. The porcelain shattered, and sharp shards flew everywhere. "I never knew you were such a love-stru
Sam said, "Miranda grew up in a loving family. Do you know what that means?"Hansel turned to face him.Sam continued, stressing each word, "It means she had the heart to love and the courage to walk away without regret. She was willing to stand against everything and everyone for what she believed
Hansel skimmed through the documents and called the project manager. "All of these projects are canceled.""W-What?" The project manager thought he had misheard. These were some of the company's flagship projects, with several nearing completion. And now, he was being told they were off the table.H
Mindy snapped, "We're not taking your gifts. Plus, we didn't do anything to earn them. We're not family, and regardless of their worth, we can't accept anything from you."Besides, you and Miranda are history. Right now, you're just a stranger to us. So, there's no reason for us to accept anything f
Lionel's warmth toward Paul starkly contrasted with the icy indifference he showed Hansel. The difference was impossible to miss.Hansel didn't catch the rest of their conversation as he had already descended two flights of stairs. He vaguely heard a door close and knew Paul must have entered Mirand
"Dr. Jefferson, are you done?"Miranda's voice snapped Paul out of his daze."Yeah, it's done.""Thanks."Paul's gaze drifted back to Miranda's waist again. He wasn't thinking about anything inappropriate, but because she was so thin. He wondered if she had been eating properly.…Hansel sat in fron
"Now that's more like it. You should've said something sooner." With that, Madison excitedly linked arms with Sebastian and hurried toward the campus exit. He tensed up and tried to pull his hand away, but she wasn't letting go."Come on. Don't be shy. We're friends." Then, she picked up her speed.
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
