It was only after leaving Hansel that Miranda rediscovered her purpose. She gradually regained her former radiance and charm, but the moment also filled him with deep regret, which overshadowed his earlier admiration for her.Willow quietly observed the changes in his expression but kept her own dem
As they walked further, they saw a relaxation room that Miranda had specifically designed just beyond a door. It had eight suites, each equipped with a bed, wardrobe, full-length mirror, and a sink.Outside in the communal area, there were coffee tables, bookshelves, a swing, and a ping-pong table f
Miranda nodded. "That's one way to put it."Nevertheless, Madison frowned at this. "It's satisfying, sure, but would the college really allow that? They're not stupid.""Dr. Young said she'd handle the college. All we need to do is focus on our projects and do our part.""Fantastic! It'll be like we
Madison stood quietly by. She was just blinking, not daring to speak. The atmosphere… Well, it was something.Miranda's gaze shifted between the two of them. Sam's eyes held a teasing glint, appearing casual yet carrying an undeniable intensity.Paul, by contrast, looked calm and composed. His gaze
"She's always been like that. The more pressure she's under, the calmer she becomes," Hansel said suddenly.Willow smiled. "While we toured the lab earlier, I noticed it not only has a dedicated lab area but also a relaxation zone, and they even included a kitchen…"Hansel's eyebrows shifted slightl
Hansel instructed Dan, "Turn around, head to Vientiane City.""Understood, Mr. Johson."…The meal went relatively well, thanks to the relaxed atmosphere Willow intentionally created. However, during dinner, Hansel ordered a bottle of red wine. By the time the wine was finished, he was already intox
Joseph let out a cold laugh. "How do you think this ends? Here, see for yourself!"He grabbed a document off his desk and threw it in Sophie's face.Sophie picked it up, and her face turned paler with each line she read. There were words regarding disciplinary action… project funding slashed by half
"It's good that you understand!" Sophie snapped just as Yasmine's phone rang."Hello?" she answered, and whatever she heard made her face go white."How can they be doing an inspection all of a sudden? This wasn't supposed to happen! Plus, didn't they just inspect us?"Alright, I'll be there right a
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
