"I remember you liked steak but found cutting it troublesome, so you'd rather not eat it. Since then, every time we had Jovanian food, I would cut it for you."Miranda looked at the neatly cut pieces of steak in front of her with an indifferent look. She hadn't come here to eat, and simply sitting w
Hansel's deep gaze locked with hers, and he said softly, "You know what I want."Miranda frowned."It's simple—come back to me. If you do, forget the consent letter, I'll give you anything you want.""That's impossible!" Her answer was absolute and firm."Mimi…" Hansel let out a bitter laugh. "I kno
"It's funny in a certain way." Sam replied.Miranda had to admit he really knew how to twist things in his favor.Sam's smile faded as he suddenly turned serious, "Alright, tell me—what happened? Why did you have to see him? Is there something you need from him?"Miranda raised an eyebrow, feeling a
A flicker of something dark passed through Paul's eyes.Sam said, "I heard you're usually very busy, Dr. Jefferson, spending most of your time in the lab. You seem to be home quite early today.""Heard?" Paul asked coolly. "Who told you that?"Paul had a lecture that day, covering a course for the F
Raul laughed. "I wouldn't call it wisdom, but I do have some experience.""I'd like to hear it," Hansel said. Raul sat in the chair next to him and began speaking slowly, "Like they said, keep things stable at home and enjoy some excitement on the side."At home, you need a woman to take care of al
Miranda eventually agreed. It was solely because Hansel agreed to sign the consent letter; there was no other reason. Hansel's lips curled into a smile, and he handed the phone back to Martha before going upstairs cheerfully.Holding the phone in her hand, Martha couldn't help but sigh. It had bee
After saying that, Miranda strode onto campus, leaving Hansel with a bitter smile.He muttered, "I never thought about doing anything like that… Am I really that terrible in your eyes?"Miranda went to class first. After class, she headed to the lab with Madison and Sebastian.There were still five
"Damn it!" Hank grabbed his foot, hopping around in pain. As he jumped, he let out a series of yelps.Miranda put on a look of surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry. My hand slipped. But I'm sure getting hit is not a big deal to you because of your thick skin, right?"Seeing this, Madison turned and picked up
"By the way, how's your family?" Miranda suddenly asked.Emilia was completely caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "How do you know?""I heard from the pea… I mean, Santiago."Emilia's grandmother had been hospitalized recently. Her father had passed away years ago from liver ci
That night, Emilia couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed before finally giving up. She spent the entire night researching everything about Miranda, including her résumé, research direction, and thesis publications…By the time she finished, Emilia had no choice but to admit that Miranda was t
Miranda remarked, "Dr. Vain, do you have a cramp in your eyebrow?"Santiago smirked. "Mimi, you do this every time. Oh, I get it. You actually like this kind of banter, don't you?"Miranda mentally rolled her eyes. Paul was way better at this game.She replied, "I've said this many times before. Ple
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
Despite Santiago's flamboyant demeanor, he was still competent at his job. At the very least, his training content was useful. Miranda listened attentively to his lecture. Even Madison eventually stopped nitpicking, despite complaining about him the whole time. Santiago ended the class at 5:30 pm,
Although Madison was annoyed, she had to admit that Emilia was right. She could complain all she wanted—after she finished the task. Emilia straightened her expression and began asking questions. Perhaps Madison's emotions hadn't fully calmed down yet. She answered the questions with imprecise term
At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi
Madison hesitated for a few seconds but couldn't hold back. "Dr. Quimby knows the rules better than anyone. So, why break them?"Miranda watched Emilia disappear into the distance, lost in thought.That evening, they skipped the cup noodles. The convenience store had better options—corn dogs, fruit
