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
"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
