The first person to receive an invitation was Mason. Since the invite was sent by express mail, Madison mailed it to Gulsberg two days in advance. Mason was puzzled when he got a call from the courier. Had his wife bought something online again? But why would she use his number?Could it be… She bo
Mason handed the invitation letter to Audrey. "Here, see for yourself."She took it with a puzzled expression. After reading it, she was momentarily stunned. "Madison really built a lab…""Our sweetie is every bit as capable as any son, and you're still complaining about her? Hmph, I'm telling you,
"Sit down." Joseph insisted. "Mr. Banks, do you not understand what I'm saying? I'm very busy, and I don't have the time to spare…"Joseph shouted, "I asked you to sit! Are you deaf? Do you need to narrow your eyes at me while I talk to you? Who do you think you are? I show you some respect, and yo
As night fell, the moonlight shone bright and clear. A gust of cold wind blew. Miranda walked to the main entrance of the lab and looked back for a moment. Then, she said, "Transcend, turn off the lights."A robotic voice sounded out of nowhere, "Miranda, please verify authorization."When she look
Miranda opened the car door and was about to get out. Suddenly, Sam called her back, "I have another question."She turned back. "What question?"Sam waved the invitation in his hand. "Does Hansel have one?"Miranda deadpanned, "Can you not mention him?""Well, as expected. I just wanted to confirm.
Miranda helped Paul back to his home and made sure he was settled. After confirming multiple times that he was fully conscious and could take care of himself, only then did she return to her own place. Miranda was sweating from the exertion, so she took off the padded jacket. Perhaps she had been t
Audrey spent her days collecting rent with Mason and focusing on her beauty regime at home. Otherwise, how else could she stay so young, beautiful, and fashionable? When Madison complimented her, it really made her happy."Mom, Dad, let me introduce you to my classmates. They're my close friends who
Joseph only saw a five-story building, seemingly just completed, towering over the empty wastelands and nearby construction sites.Sophie scoffed. "What kind of lab would be built out here? Honestly, it's impressive that Miranda found a place like this to fool everyone."Joseph, who had been calm up
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
"What's on your mind?" Miranda chuckled. "I'm not made of iron. If the task isn't urgent, why pull an all-nighter? What's the fun in that?"Madison agreed, "You're right. Then, how come you…""I just got up a little earlier than you."Madison sighed in relief and grinned. She asked casually, "How mu
When the rainy season began, the weather turned unpredictable. Yesterday had been sunny, but it drizzled today. Paul, who hadn't brought an umbrella, arrived home drenched. He immediately took a hot shower and changed into his loungewear.While drying his hair, he noticed the bare mattress and froz
Miranda immediately pulled out her phone and sent a message to Paul. "Dr. Jefferson, my dad sent me some braised beef. There's some for you as well. When will you be home? I'll bring it to you." She also sent him a photo along with the message.He replied promptly, "Please thank Mr. Sutton for me,
At the end of May, Mindy traveled to Jandersville for the launch event of an Intellectual Property adaptation movie.Since it was the weekend, Lionel accompanied his wife. He also brought Miranda a large bag of pre-packaged braised beef and six cans of homemade pickles."It's all organic and no addi
"You didn't even come after me? Bryan, do you even care about me?" Elizabeth said.After a long pause, he finally responded, "…Where are you?"She replied, "At the coffee shop by the campus gate. You've got five minutes to get here."He responded with a hum. By the time he reached the coffee shop,
Elizabeth stormed into the lab and marched toward Paul. "Why did you fire me?" she demanded. "Was it because I took a week off for sick leave? Or did something go wrong with the project?"He looked at her, then scoffed. "Just because the police couldn't figure out who did it doesn't mean I don't kno
