Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap. "Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He's already beaten
In chess, a stalemate would result in a draw. With the first two rounds taken into account, the two indeed ended with a tie. Paul remarked, "Mr. Cooper, your chess skills are impressive."Sam replied, "You flatter me. However, praising me is just a roundabout way of praising yourself. Who knew you
Hendrix suddenly thought of something. "Go check the number of papers published in 'Nature Biotechnology' by scholars within the country for last year."Beckett immediately opened his laptop. Five minutes later, he reported, "For last year, local scholars published a total of six papers in 'Nature B
The substitute lecturer was an unfamiliar face. He appeared to be in his 40s or 50s, with a balding head. His teaching method consisted of reading directly from the slides. There was no interaction, no humor, and lacking in any sense of entertainment. Soon, he lost the students' attention. "Where'
Paul tapped on the counter with his knuckles. "Your ID is needed to register your personal details.""Oh, right…" Elizabeth quickly rummaged through her bag. The people waiting behind her were beginning to grow impatient. Out of courtesy, they didn't say anything rude. Instead, they just let out a
Elizabeth couldn't hide her delight when she caught sight of Paul's back the moment she stepped out of her room. She called out to him without hesitation. To her surprise, the person she despised the most turned around at the same time as Paul did.Her smile faded slightly as she spoke, "Oh, Mirand
Miranda was the picture of youthful vitality and demure grace, and Paul was momentarily captivated by her."Dr. Jefferson, Dr Jefferson!" she called out to him. Startled, he snapped back to reality. "I'm sorry. What did you just say?"Miranda couldn't hold back her laughter, and Paul looked even mo
After posting the photos, Miranda put her phone away. She was completely unaware of the chaos unfolding in the comment section.The two of them headed back as it was getting late. Unexpectedly, they ran into Elizabeth again in the hotel lobby. "Dr. Jefferson, Miranda," she greeted them with a strai
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.Miranda's eyelashes fluttered, then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, reached for the robe beside her, and slipped it on. Glancing over at Paul, who was still asleep next to her, she quietly got out of bed.In the kitchen, she was preparing breakfast. As sh
Zach straddled the man and threw a few more punches at him. Winter was flung to the ground by his violent shove and twisted her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her the moment she tried to move. "Zach, have you lost your mind? I'm calling the police!" she shouted. Her words made Zach pause mid-ac
The moment those words left Zach's mouth, the poker table fell into dead silence. The chaotic noise around them seemed to fade into the background as a deafening explosion went off in Hansel's mind. Only one sentence echoed over and over in his ear…Miranda had a boyfriend…Had a boyfriend…Boyfrie
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav
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
