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
Sebastian was at a loss for words. What followed was Madison's live commentary on the food. She gushed, "Oh my gosh! This is really delicious! The sauce is a little spicy, but it's not too overwhelming. It's the fragrant kind, paired with pepper and onions. This is absolutely heavenly!"The pancake
This minor incident had little to do with Miranda and her group. They just listened to the news and moved on. Still, hearing about their college's loss always left a bitter taste. Honors and awards in academia weren't just about the college's reputation, but they were also tied to national pride. T
This was just a short interlude. Whoever Harbener drew didn't matter much to Miranda and the others, but it wasn't completely irrelevant, either.At the very least, Harbener could directly eliminate at least one strong country from the competition in the first two rounds.For Hebrana, this somewhat
After breakfast, Miranda, Madison, Sebastian, Emilia, and Santiago set out for the venue.Upon arrival, they signed in, registered, and presented their passports before heading to the hotel arranged by the organizers to drop off their luggage.They had lunch at the hotel and took a short nap. In the
"I'm not joking. If everything goes smoothly, I plan to get engaged by the end of the year." Alex suddenly turned serious."What? Are you for real? The end of the year? That's only a few months away. Alex, are you serious?" Yale dropped his usual carefree demeanor, and his expression grew solemn.Al
Yale said, "Like damn. Nobody saw that coming. That was a big one—Vaughn Quaker's inheritance just dropped right into their lap.""Yeah." Alex nodded. As someone in the industry, he'd heard a few rumors. "I heard that Vaughn Quaker divorced his ex-wife decades ago. He was head over heels for his cu
Felix found it hard to believe Susan had softened her stance like this—Alex and Yale were even more shocked.Yale felt a twinge of bitterness since his mother had never given in like this for him.At her words, Paul's expression eased slightly. "…I was a little impatient that day too."Susan finally
Susan was momentarily speechless. Felix tried to convince her. "You agreed to call Paul to come home for dinner today, didn't you? Wasn't the whole point of this meal for you two to talk things out and clear up the misunderstandings? To mend the relationship?"He then sighed. "But look at you. The
There was a street food market right outside the guesthouse. The five of them strolled from one end to the other. By the time they made their way back, the sun was setting. The sunset painted the sky a vibrant orange with wispy clouds drifting lazily around the warm glow. "It's getting dark. Shall
Santiago lowered his voice as well, copying her. "Emi, you just touched my hand…"Emilia was at a loss for words. Two days before departure, she had requested a change of team members from the college administration. But somehow, Santiago had caught wind of it in advance. Before the administration
After training ended, Miranda and her team had three days to rest. In three days, they would depart for Harbener. This year, the International Academic Exchange Conference was being held in Farden, Harbener. Experts and scholars from all fields around the world would gather there. On the departur
