The three-day academic exchange flew by in no time. On the last evening, as usual, there was a banquet.Emilia scanned the room silently, politely brushing off a few younger colleagues who tried to strike up a conversation. Still, the person she was looking for was nowhere to be found."Dr. Blaise."
Jesse clicked his tongue. Paul really had good fortune when it came to women.Paul was originally standing next to him. The next second, he shot forward toward the woman like an arrow. He didn't even bother to grab his luggage.If Jesse hadn't reached out to steady it, the luggage might have rolled
Paul reminded, "Jesse, don't you need to rush home to celebrate your daughter's birthday?"Jesse glanced at his watch. The next second, visible panic spread across his face. "Oh no! I'm going to be late. Here's your luggage. I need to go now! Miranda, see you next time!" With that, he darted off as
Paul's string of compliments left Lionel feeling a little overwhelmed and dizzy. He laughed and said, "Paul, you really have a way with words!" "Mr. Sutton, it's getting late. I'll head back now." Paul got up to take his leave. Huh?Lionel had wanted to keep him there for a few rounds of chess. Ho
Besides, Paul was dressed so formally.The suit's tailored fit highlighted the perfect proportions of his body. With his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, Paul's body was truly irresistible. He opened his mouth the next moment. His deep and seductive voice rang out like the strings of a
In the end, Paul still didn't get his way.Miranda had already sat up, preparing to get dressed. Her attitude was… quite determined. "Mimi…"Bare-chested, Paul leaned against the headboard and whined her name in that pitiful, pleading tone repeatedly. Miranda didn't need to turn around to know tha
Miranda broke into a cold sweat. "And then?"Lionel replied, "I was afraid of waking you up, so I didn't go in."She let out a sigh of relief. "I had to turn on the light and spend ten whole minutes swatting mosquitoes in my room. I still didn't get them all, so I had to keep going," Lionel grumble
Lionel greeted them with a smile, "Paul, you're here! Come and have some breakfast. I've reheated the soup. Be careful. It's hot."Paul sat down at the table. "Thank you, Mr. Sutton.""You're welcome."After breakfast, Paul played a game of chess with Lionel. However, calls from the lab kept ringing
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
As Miranda and Paul reached the apartment building, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep touching your head?"Instinctively, Paul rubbed his head again. "Tsk, that kid pulled really hard. I bet he yanked out a few strands of hair.""Yanked?" Miranda was puzzled. Paul nodded. "It felt a littl
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
Someone in the crowd started to cheer, while others clapped. Paul and Miranda exchanged a glance and came to the same decision. "Let's run!" They finally stopped after putting some distance between themselves and the crowd. Miranda shot him a look. "Don't ambush me like that next time."Paul def
"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
