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
"I didn't have time to exercise during the day, so I'm running a bit more tonight," Paul replied.Miranda stood at the same step and waited for him to catch up with her, and then they continued walking up together. "Thanks for your help today. If it weren't for you, we would have been kicked out,"
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
