"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.
Willow watched Hansel's figure as he walked away. Today, she noticed for the first time that he drove a Porsche, wore a custom Armani suit, and had a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.She glanced down at the cake in her hand, her expression becoming more thoughtful.Meanwhile, Miranda wasn't at sch
The Sutton men had impressive genetics, and Lionel was no exception. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and even in middle age, he hadn't put on much weight. He tried on several suits, and each one fit perfectly."Honey, which one do you think looks best?" Lionel asked Mindy.Miranda instinctively turne
Nonetheless, the scene that followed wasn't at all what the sales assistant had expected.Susan walked up to Mindy, looked her up and down, and commented, "This dress suits you very well."Susan herself had tried on the dress and thought it looked decent, but it was clear that it suited Mindy even b
Miranda had noticed from their previous encounters that Susan didn't seem to like her very much. Given that impression, she thought it was best to act as if they were strangers. After all, apart from a few chance meetings, they didn't have any real connection.Susan, on the other hand, subconsciousl
The next day, the book signing event took place as scheduled.The event was held on the third floor of Book Haven. Even before the entry time, a large crowd of readers had already gathered outside.A dozen security guards were stationed there to maintain order. By the entrance, there was a large dis
In the front row, there were mainly people around her parents' age."W-What's going on here?" she stammered.Her boyfriend was just as baffled and blurted out, "Why is it all older folks here?"That remark instantly stirred up a wave of discontent. "What's wrong with older folks? You got a problem w
It was so embarrassing!In the end, Paul helped her weave through the crowd until they finally reached the outer edge. At last, there was no one pushing her around."Phew—" Miranda exhaled in relief. But then, just as she looked up, she unexpectedly met Paul's amused gaze."Sorry, Dr. Jefferson… I…"
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
