Evelyn replied, "You need to go. Don't think that just because you got into grad school, you can stop maintaining relationships. Your grades are still in their hands. Sending a little something never hurts. Look at the gourmet honey and bracelets from last time…""Gifts, gifts, gifts! All you ever t
"Alright," Joli agreed readily. After hanging up, he let out a subtle sigh of relief. Theodore scratched his head, confusion flickering in his eyes.At a coffee shop outside the campus, the flow of customers picking up their orders made the environment somewhat noisy. When Miranda and Madison arrive
"I… I'm not unhappy, just… it's so sudden. I can hardly believe it," Joli stammered, struggling to process how such good fortune could come his way.Madison leaned forward eagerly. "So you're saying yes?"Still hesitant, Joli asked again, "Are you sure this is really okay?"Miranda nodded reassuring
"At Infinity Lab, you'll have your own workspace, the freedom to propose your own projects, and even the chance to slowly build your research team," Miranda explained."I'm inviting you, not to change your research focus or adapt your goals to fit ours, but to offer you a better environment and more
Joli gave Madison a slight nod, and she quickly added, "Welcome aboard.""I have one more request…" Joli began hesitantly.Miranda interjected knowingly, "It's about Theodore, isn't it?"He looked up abruptly, surprise written all over his face. "How did you know?"Miranda smiled faintly. "I also kn
Sebastian's lips twitched. "What do you mean by all men? Don't lump me in with that.""Oh, please. Haven't you heard the saying? All men are the same!" Madison shot back.Sebastian emphasized, "Well, I'm not like him."Madison crossed her arms. "I don't believe you.""Then try me!" he challenged, tu
Paul glanced at her phone and sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness in his tone. "Cancel the ride. I'll take you home."Take you home…The words stirred something in Miranda's heart, and a faint smile touched her lips. "Alright."…Inside the car, the heater was on, and the chill was quickly d
Miranda turned to look behind her.She wasn't sure when Paul had arrived or how long he had been standing there, but his eyes were filled with amusement. His gaze fell to the pile of crumbled snowballs at her feet, and his smile deepened."Playing in the snow again?" he asked.Miranda replied with a
Emilia was at a loss for words. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "One last question. Did you reject my résumé because I truly wasn't a good fit, or was it because… I gave you that candle?"Paul answered, "You truly weren't a good fit."He hesitated for a moment before elaborating, "Your
Only a fairy like Miranda could tame a slave driver like Paul!Bryan added, "You really saved the day and brought peace on earth."Miranda chuckled. "You guys are really too dramatic."As Sandy took the plate of food Paul handed to her, she pointed at the computer screen nearby. "Let me tell you, we
The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
Winter soon ended her call with Miranda, feeling dejected. She tossed and turned in bed, an uneasy creeping up within her. Suddenly, she sat up. "Why do I feel like I got tricked?"Meanwhile, Miranda hummed a tune after the call. Feeling good, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she

Miranda nodded. "Alright. How about I trade the stuffed toys for you?"Austin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me?""Yes.""No way! Human trafficking is illegal!"Miranda retorted, "This isn't trafficking. It's a prize, so no money is involved.""It's still not allowed!""Why not?"Austin spoke cl

"Okay," Paul agreed without hesitation. The square was bustling with people, brimming with excitement and energy.To the left was the dance area, where a group of elderly women were swaying their hips to the music. They were surprisingly in sync. To the right, street vendors lined the walkway, sel
Just as Zach thought he had turned the tables, Winter pinched the softest part of his waist and twisted it a full 180 degrees. "Ouch!" he yelped in pain. Winter flashed him a sweet smile. "What do you think I'm doing?"Zach didn't reply. It was better to not mess with a fierce tigress like her!Wi
