"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
Thinking back to the recent chaos at Hansel's company caused by Ingrid's mother and her troublemaker brother, Zach couldn't help but click his tongue.He thought, thank goodness the child was no longer in the picture; otherwise, Evelyn might have been sobbing her heart out in the restroom by now.Ju
All three of them had been drinking, so they each pulled out their phones to call for a driver once they were outside. While waiting, Calvin felt the urge to smoke. He put a cigarette in his mouth but realized he couldn't find his lighter.He asked Zach for one, who pointed to the back seat of his c
"What?" Calvin paused, not fully understanding."When I broke up with Miranda, did I make a mistake?" Hansel asked, his voice tinged with regret."Hans," Calvin said, looking at him with a mix of pity and exasperation. "Are you only now realizing this?"Hansel was at a loss for words."Miranda is an
Miranda looked closely at the display again and shook her head. "No, it doesn't mention that."Mindy walked over and stood next to her daughter, both of them facing the information board. "It says here that after the reform and opening-up period, Garrison Garden was returned to the Garrison family.
Mindy was notoriously bad with directions. It wasn't just in this big garden; she often got lost even in small, unfamiliar alleyways."Mom, how did you find the way?" Miranda asked, puzzled.Mindy seemed momentarily stumped by the question. "I… I'm not sure. I just had a feeling that we should go th
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
