Miranda probed further, "So, whose call did you get yesterday? You were so angry that you got hospitalized."Christine snorted in response. Miranda remained calm. "Let me guess… Could it be the dean? No, he wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. "Then maybe… Mr. Banks? But I heard he has been
After reassuring Christine, Miranda helped her wash up and reminded her to finish the IV drip before going through with the hospital discharge. Before leaving, she called Olivia aside. "I've spoken to Dr. Young, there will be a car to take you both to the retreat tomorrow. While you're away, I'm co
"It's all thanks to the two construction teams from Mr. Cooper," Jack said.Initially, he brought them over to construct the foundation, but Jack quickly realized he had underestimated their skills. Not only were they great at civil work, but these people were also professionals in interior design a
Illuminated by the streetlights, Miranda and her two companions chatted as they walked. The cold wind blew, and their breath instantly turned to mist that rose slowly into the dark sky. "Mimi, do you want a latte? It's my treat…" Jack grinned, flashing her a bright smile. Miranda was about to rep
There was a street food market right outside the guesthouse. The five of them strolled from one end to the other. By the time they made their way back, the sun was setting. The sunset painted the sky a vibrant orange with wispy clouds drifting lazily around the warm glow. "It's getting dark. Shall
Santiago lowered his voice as well, copying her. "Emi, you just touched my hand…"Emilia was at a loss for words. Two days before departure, she had requested a change of team members from the college administration. But somehow, Santiago had caught wind of it in advance. Before the administration
After training ended, Miranda and her team had three days to rest. In three days, they would depart for Harbener. This year, the International Academic Exchange Conference was being held in Farden, Harbener. Experts and scholars from all fields around the world would gather there. On the departur
Their noses touched, their breaths intertwining. Naturally, their lips met as well. At first, Paul's kisses were gentle and warm, like the soft glow of the spring sun. But soon, it became more urgent, more demanding, as if he needed more of her. By the end, his kisses crashed over her like a fierc
"Hey, Dr. Quimby. They've already left. Why are you still staring?" Santiago asked.Emilia withdrew her gaze and retorted, "It's none of your business."Santiago wasn't offended at all and continued smiling. "What's so interesting about watching other people in love anyway? Experiencing it yourself
Madison immediately reached for the door of the cab. "Wait… Miranda hasn't gotten in yet!"Sebastian sighed helplessly. "Dr. Jefferson is here. Do you really think Miranda won't have a ride?""Oh!" Madison finally understood. She glanced out the window and, sure enough, there was a parked SUV behind
"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
