After Zach stormed out, Winter glanced at the dishes on the table with disdain. If she'd known he'd storm out, she should've made him clean up before leaving.She picked up her phone. "Hey, can you book a cleaner for me for two hours? Yeah, to clean the whole place… especially the couch…"Meanwhile,
"That's not fair, Mom! Your child is me, not Winter. Why are you threatening to break my legs just because I said a few things about her?" Zach protested.Phoebe responded firmly, "Because she's the daughter-in-law I've chosen, and no one can bully her, not even you."Zach's nose and eyes started to
"What happened?" Miranda asked them.Madison and Sebastian looked up sharply, looking like they had found their savior. Madison rushed toward her, tears welling up in her eyes even though she tried to hold them back. Sebastian followed, his expression visibly tense and his fists clenched tightly.
Madison said, "We were all there at the time. It wasn't like the lab was unattended. The machine was just in standby mode because we weren't using it temporarily. We were going to use it again later. Who in their right mind would cut the power?"Miranda already had her suspicions, but she needed mor
Sophie crossed her arms, looking down at him. "What complaint?""Don't play dumb! Every other lab passed the fire inspection, but Miranda's lab got a violation notice. You dare say you had nothing to do with that?"Sophie smirked. "I'm busy. Between writing reports and papers, I don't have time to p
"Who let you in? Our lab doesn't welcome two-legged animals. If you know what's good for you, get out before we have to throw you out," Sebastian said coldly."Who the hell are you calling an animal?" Hank's face flushed with anger.Sebastian responded casually, "Whoever answers is the one I'm talki
Paul had a lecture that day. During the break, he overheard two students discussing how a lab at the Faculty of Bioinformatics had been slapped with a fire safety violation and was ordered to shut down for rectifications.He didn't think much of it at first, but then he heard them mention "Miranda"
Miranda was slightly taken aback. "You're giving me your jacket, but what about you…""I'm not cold," Paul responded calmly. "Thank you."As they reached the corner of the street, Paul asked her to wait a moment. He stepped into a nearby convenience store and returned in less than a minute, holding
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
