Thanks to Solomonâs influence, Miranda saw a major improvement in her productivity. Over the course of just one morning, sheâd finished two sets of worksheets.
When Solomon checked them, sheâd scored 95 marks on both of the worksheets, to his
surprise.
Heâd heard that Miranda had graduated three years ago and had only recently picked up studying again. Heâd never thought sheâd be this smart! No wonder Christine held her in such high regard.
Miranda didnât know what was running through Solomonâs mind at that moment. She gave him a heads up that she was going to the bathroom.
On the other hand, when Ingrid saw her leave, she als got up and followed her.
âWait.â
Miranda turned around. She didnât seem surprised by Ingridâs appearance. âYes?â
âLast night, I delivered homemade pumpkin soup to Hansâ mansion. He loved it. He devoured the entire bowl and didnât leave a single drop behind.â
Ingrid smiled slightly, revealing a pair of dimples. âNot only that, he even asked me to stay the night.
âI never knew he had such a rough yet sexy side to him. I barely slept the entire night,â she continued, purposely making the lies sound plausible.
Lowering her head shyly, she fluttered her eyelashes and put on a bashful expression, as though sheâd been ravished thoroughly last night.
Mirandaâs heart twinged in pain. She found it difficult to breathe..
âAre you jealous?â Ingrid whispered in her ear. âDo you have regrets? Too bad you donât have any more chances.â
Suddenly, Miranda smiled. She stared at Ingrid and asked meaningfully, âHow do your know youâre the only one heâs done those things to?â
Ingridâs face paled.
Miranda continued, âYou might just be one of many. Of course, you wonât be the last one either.â Ignoring the scowl on Ingridâs face, she walked away.
After finishing the last question on his worksheet, Solomon finally realized that the seat. next to him had been empty for a while. He picked up his phone to send Miranda a text, but she returned just then.
Sasha koted over and saw her pale face, he grew worried: âAre you alright? Do you
Dipping tingalls into her palm harshly, Miranda shook her head. âIâm fine. Maybe in tod hot because it feels a little stuffy. Let keep going â
At 5:00 pm, they called it a day
Solomon remembered that heâd unexpectedly had to take a raincheck for dinner
esterday. âMy roommate told me about a decent barbecue restaurant that opened recently. Do you want to go together? Itâll be my treat.
Miranda stood there quietly. No one else could tell, but her mind had been drifting many miles away the entire afternoon. She shook her head apologetically. âSorry, but I donât feel that well today. Letâs go next time.
Solomon didnât take it personally. âSure. Iâll treat you next time.â
The moment Miranda got home, she crumpled onto the couch as if all the energy had drained from her body.
The goldfish that sheâd been rearing for some time had grown bigger. As she watched the goldfish blow bubbles and swim around the fish tank, she slowly grew sleepy.

When she awoke again, the already completely dark. She picked up her phone. to check the time; much to her shock, it was already 8:00 pm.
No wonder sheâd woken up from hunger.
Putting on her slippers, she walked to the kitchen to make some food. Halfway there, she remembered that because sheâd been so busy recently, sheâd already used up all the food in the fridge. Sheâd been supposed to buy groceries this afternoon, but sheâd forgotten.
At this hour, the supermarket was still open. She grabbed her keys and headed there. There werenât many vegetables left, but the seafood section still had a great selection.
In the end, she bought a piece of salmon. Suddenly, she craved garlic herb seasoning, so she went to the spices section.
After searching high and low, she found a pack of preâmixed garlic herb seasoning. As she reached for it, her hand accidentally came into contact with the back of someoneâs owns all © content.
