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…"
That was until Minnie Garrison's disappearance. Everything changed.This shift was closely linked to the fact that the elderly couple had been living abroad for a long time.Thinking of his aunt, who was still missing and whose fate remained uncertain, Sam couldn't help but glance at the elderly pai
Miranda felt a bit embarrassed, realizing her thoughts had been seen through, but she wasn't overly flustered. After all, it was their first meeting, and having a little caution was entirely normal.She figured the elderly couple, with all their life experiences, would understand her position.Sure
Paul stood by the elevator on the third floor, seemingly ready to go downstairs to look for someone.Following a chime, the elevator doors opened, and Miranda stepped out."Dr. Jefferson," she greeted."Where'd you go?""Where are you headed?" They both asked at the same time, though their tones we
When they arrived at the restaurant, the server led the four of them directly to a private room. They ordered the dishes, set up the barbecue, and started cooking.True to Madison's enthusiastic recommendation, the flavors were indeed delicious, and the ingredients were fresh, but the spiciness was
"All done," Paul said.Miranda moved her neck and shook her head a bit. To her surprise, the hairpin felt quite secure, with no sign of coming loose."Hey! Your boyfriend learned that really quickly! Looks like he even did a better job than me!" the vendor said cheerfully.Paul gave a small smile.M
"Really, there's no need," Paul hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I already have someone I like.""What!" Lionel's eyes lit up. "Really? Have you confessed? Why aren't you two together yet?"The barrage of questions hit Paul hard, and he fell silent, thinking he should've just kept quiet.T
Mindy had said, "If you're not sure what to eat, go for the most expensive. Price may not mean everything, but it does show a level of sincerity." As expected, when Zach heard the name of the restaurant, he raised an eyebrow. But after a moment of thought, it didn't surprise him. Since they were ho
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
