Miranda had forgotten to contact one person.In the afternoon, Paul called her to check how things were going on her end. At that moment, she was busy in the lab. They exchanged a few quick words before hanging up, and her last words had been, "I'll contact you once I'm done, okay?"But now…Frustra
Miranda said, "The data's already out, but it doesn't meet my requirements."Finley Nilsen, the senior technician, took a deep breath. "That fast?" Her speed amazed him—her data processing was as fast as a full lab team."Alright," he said. "I'll change and be right there. I promise I won't hold you
Sawyer froze on the spot. It took him a while to return to his senses. However, Miranda was already gone.…Miranda had a smooth negotiation with Harvey, as she had no objections to the price. Harvey was impressed by her straightforwardness and decided to finalize their partnership immediately. He i
Looking at Sawyer's resigned expression, Miranda didn't know what he was imagining in his brain right now. Nonetheless, she couldn't help but feel a little speechless. At 3:00 pm, the boarding announcement sounded over the speakers. After boarding, Sawyer walked around the economy-class cabin twic
Miranda asked, "Tell me honestly, when did you arrive?"Paul was about to say that he arrived ten minutes ago when the words caught in his throat. Finally, he gave her a helpless smile. "Alright… an hour ago.""Why did you come so early? Didn't I send you my flight details?""I wanted to see you soo
"Um… Did I say anything wrong?" Miranda asked.The veins in Paul's forehead were throbbing. She began analyzing with a smile. "The fact that he gave me a reminder instead of demanding an answer in a rage shows that he has a kind nature. At the very least, his values are solid. "Once everything was
Paul asked, "Don't you know why I'm smiling?"Miranda replied, "Should I?""It's because of you. What do you think?"Miranda looked into his eyes and saw a depth of affection that seemed ready to overflow at any moment. She asked, "Dr. Jefferson, let's play a game, shall we?""How does it work?""We
Miranda's biological clock woke her naturally at dawn. She got up, freshened up, and changed into her clothes. She had a class in the morning, but it was still very early. Miranda headed to the kitchen to check on the oatmeal she had made using the electric slow cooker last night. Steam billowed o
"…Sorry," Hansel said. Miranda turned and walked away, but he caught up with her again."Stay away from me!" she snapped."Okay. I won't touch you or even come near you." He took a step back. However, his gaze lingered on her face and was filled with longing as if he had a thousand words to say.Mi
What Hansel saw instead was Miranda in Paul's arms. Her arms wrapped around Paul's neck as if it were second nature to her. Her smile was bright and radiant—youthful in a way that was full of life.…Back at the apartment, Paul and Miranda went into the kitchen. She made steamed broccoli and shrimp
Before starting the engine, Miranda texted Paul to ask if he was working late that night."No." His response came fast.He then sent a photo of an empty shopping cart and wrote, "I just got to the grocery store. Do you want to join me?"Miranda quickly replied, "I'll be there in 30 minutes. Wait for
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
