But just as she left the house, she bumped into Paul, who'd just returned. It was raining outside; the closed umbrella he held was dripping wet.
"Good morning. You... didn't stay up the entire night, did you?" "I did. We're in a rush to collect data from the experiment." Even though Paul had just returned from the lab, he had to hurry back again after picking up something.
"This is for you." Miranda handed him a glass of warm milk. "It'll keep you warm." There was a pause before Paul thanked her. "Thank you." "Remember to change out of your drenched clothes." She pointed at his shoulder. Paul turned to look at it and realized it was wet.

"So, you'd better stop your side hustles. It's more important to take good care of Hans. I heard he had gastritis again yesterday. You-" Before Tina could finish her sentence, someone interrupted, "Tina, who are you speaking to?" A tall and elegant woman was walking toward them. As she neared, Miranda realized she wore the latest haute couture from Covetus' spring collection. No wrinkles could be seen on her well-cared-for face, and she held an exotic leather Kelly clutch from Hermès.

She was surprised. Wasn't this Hansel's so-called girlfriend? She sized Miranda up. A look of disgust crossed her already sour expression.
Miranda had left hin only a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. She hadn't applied any makeup, nor had she tidied up her hair. How embarrassing! Evelyn glanced at the library behind her and then at the two books in Miranda's hands. Her gaze becthoughtful.
"What a coincidence, Ms. Sutton," she said with an emphasis on “coincidence In other words, she thought Miranda was so desperate to get on her good side that the latter had put on such a lact of a chance encounter.
"You tried your best; I'll give you that." Evelyn sighed. "Still, an imposter will remain an imposter no matter how hard she tries to pretend to be the real thing. Stop pulling these tricks in the future. I won't fall for them.
"Since we ran into each other today, I should make myself clear. Hansel will never marry you. However, you've1 worked hard to look after him for the past few years. Your efforts won't go unnoticed. After he gets married, you'll still get to meet him.
