"Good, just making sure," Joseph replied with a sheepish smile.He might’ve been a little slow on the uptake, but he wasn’t stupid. He could more or less read between the lines of what Mason Alvarez had been hinting at."Help yourself to some water," Mason said casually before slipping back into the resting room.Same resting room. Same semi-transparent partition.Joseph poured himself a glass of water and sat down.As he sipped, he found himself—once again—watching an unintentional performance of elegance and allure.To be fair, it wasn’t exactly “unintentional.” And it certainly wasn’t “forced” either. A man was, after all, still a man—and some instincts were simply beyond his control.This woman wasn’t just being careless. She was doing it on purpose. And he couldn’t even bring himself to look away.After a while, Mason emerged again."All set, Professor Wilson. Have you finished your water? If you have, let’s go."She slung her bag over her shoulder, glancing at him."Yes, I’m

"The situation isn’t looking good," the middle-aged doctor said, his brows furrowed after a thorough examination. "He’s not dead... but he’s very close.""Looks like induced acute renal failure."The words stunned the room into silence. Murmurs broke out among the onlookers."Induced acute renal failure? Judging by how he’s not wearing anything, I bet he was doing something... unspeakable.""Isn’t it obvious? A man and a woman, in a hotel room, undressed—what else could they be doing?""Mr. Kim’s been fooling around here since last night. Switched out several women already. Fighting non-stop for a whole day and night—even an ox couldn’t take it!""Seriously. Around noon, I saw him walk in with a woman in her mid-thirties. When I saw him again later, his face looked ghostly pale—like he’d been drained of his life force.""That’s terrifying. Auntie's waist—the blade of death!""People always say lustful men die between the sheets. Today, I actually witnessed it.""Brothers, take this

Listening to the two of them talk, Joseph didn’t seem the least bit hurried. He walked into the kitchen first and put the groceries into the fridge.“What’s the rush? You can’t see it now anyway. We have to upload it to the computer before we can look at anything,” Mason Alvarez said to Alice.“Oh, I’m just worried about Joseph’s health, that’s all,” Alice replied, her tone casual.“Your Joseph is basically fine. Every night he gives you a happy, blissful life,” Mason Alvarez set her things down and flopped onto the sofa, letting out a contented sigh.She had to admit, Alice’s sofa was incredibly comfortable.“What do you mean, ‘happy, blissful life’? I’ve only ever heard of ‘happy life.’ Are you sure you’re using the right words?” Alice rolled her eyes; for a moment, she didn’t catch Mason’s underlying meaning.“Heh, I mean blissful. Isn’t it blissful when you’re with Professor Alvarez at night? Don’t you feel like you’re on cloud nine, unable to stop, teetering between life and deat

By a little past eight, the three of them were finally full and satisfied from dinner.Mason Alvarez had eaten well tonight and looked quite content.“Professor Wilson, it’s about time for me to head home. Would you mind giving me a ride? It’ll only take ten minutes or so,” Mason said to Joseph.“Just let me know when you’re ready to go,” Joseph replied simply.Mason rested for another half an hour before finally calling for Joseph to head out with her.When Joseph opened the car door, Mason took the passenger seat.“Buckle your seatbelt,” Joseph reminded her.“Oh, right.” Mason quickly fastened her seatbelt at his prompting.Joseph drove out of the neighborhood, the car quiet. He barely said a word the whole way, lost in thought.“Professor Wilson, is something on your mind? You look so out of it tonight. That’s not like you,” Mason observed, sharp as ever.“It’s nothing serious, just... some things I’m puzzled about,” Joseph hesitated, then answered.“Puzzled? About what? Tell me, m

“I’m not joking. I mean it,” Mason replied, her tone playful and flirtatious. “After all, you’ve already seen everything there is to see. What difference does it make?”“Professor Alvarez, looks like it’s about to rain. I need to get home and bring in the laundry,” Joseph said, pointing to the sky.“Oh? Is it?” Mason straightened up and took a couple of steps back, glancing up at the sky. But there was no rain. The night was clear, the moon bright and round—where was the rain?At that moment, Joseph started the car and drove off.It was only then that Mason realized something was off. Watching Joseph’s car disappear, she was left speechless.“Coward. Am I really that scary?” she muttered to herself. “What, does he think I’ll eat him alive? Is it my figure or my looks that he finds so objectionable?”She stamped her foot in frustration, whispering under her breath, and only then did she head upstairs alone.But even as she made her way up, Mason wasn’t idle. She pulled out her phone an

Upon entering, Joseph noticed Alice wasn’t in the living room—she must’ve already gone to her room.He grabbed a set of pajamas and went to shower.About ten minutes later, he stepped out, drying his hair, and once again thought of Mason Alvarez’s words.He began to hesitate—should he really do this experiment? But Alice seemed to be asleep already.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He pulled out his phone and sent Alice a message.“Hey, are you asleep?”Alice replied quickly.“Just got in bed. Joseph, what’s up? I knew you were back. I saw you were in the shower, so I didn’t say anything.”Seeing her message, Joseph put his phone away and glanced at Alice’s bedroom door.Standing in the living room, he hesitated again. Should he ask Alice about the experiment or not?After a moment’s thought, he finally walked over and knocked gently on her door.“Is that Joseph?” Alice’s voice came from inside—and as soon as she spoke, the door opened.Alice stood before him in a light, sexy nightgown,

Alice’s bashfulness only made her more irresistible.He straightened, and Alice helped herself up with him.Then, in one smooth motion, he lifted her into his arms and gently laid her on the bed.“You come up too.”Alice’s voice was soft, her eyes full of charm. She patted the spot beside her.“Uh… come up and… do what?”Joseph asked instinctively—then realized how dumb the question was.Alice chuckled. “Just come up. You’ll see.”Joseph had no choice but to climb onto the bed beside her.Once he lay down, Alice pulled the blanket over him and tucked him in.“Um… Alice, I…”Joseph didn’t know what to say. He was completely flustered.“Joseph… I’m ready.”Facing him, Alice closed her eyes tightly, as if bracing herself for what was to come.Joseph looked at Alice, who had her eyes shut tight and her whole body braced as if preparing for battle. He couldn’t help but find it funny.What kind of silly, precious girl was this? So adorably earnest.Unable to resist, he reached out and gentl

“Professor Alvarez is a great colleague,” Joseph agreed.“Joseph, who do you think is prettier—me, or that old woman?”Alice tilted her head, gazing at him with a mischievous smile.“From my perspective? Definitely you. You’re my own personal goddess,” Joseph said with a smile.Truthfully, both Alice and Mason Alvarez were stunning in their own right—gorgeous beyond comparison, each with their own charm.But emotionally, his heart leaned toward Alice.“Hmph, Joseph, you’ve gotten smooth with your words,” Alice pouted playfully.“You’re amazing, and she’s not bad either. Just stating facts. But I prefer you. That’s called favoritism,” Joseph explained with a grin.“Do you like her? Even just a little?”“I want the truth—no sweet-talking or dodging,” Alice said, tightening her grip on his arm and pouting proudly.Joseph felt his scalp tingle the moment Alice asked that question. He had no idea how to respond.The conversation had been going along just fine—how did it suddenly veer into

“Alright.”Joseph tidied up his desk and took a seat.“Professor Wilson, you seem to be in great shape today,” Mason said, eyeing him meaningfully.“Do I? Is it that obvious?” Joseph blinked, surprised.“Tell me… did you conduct an ‘experiment’ last night?” Mason asked, her tone laced with implication.“Experiment? What kind of experiment would I be doing at home, in the middle of the night?”Joseph blinked again, clearly not catching on right away."What kind of experiment do you think it was? What, did you forget what I told you last night? The one you did with your little sweetheart?"Mason Alvarez propped his chin up with one hand and looked at Joseph with a mischievous grin.Joseph understood immediately what kind of "experiment" Mason Alvarez was referring to."Professor Alvarez... why are you asking about that?" Joseph replied awkwardly."Why not ask? I'm the one who told you to conduct the experiment. Shouldn't you be reporting the results to me?""Come on, write a report for

"Even if he does wake up, he might be permanently disabled."Geoffrey wore a bitter smile."Induced acute kidney failure? He must have pushed himself too hard, overexerted his body to the point of collapse."Joseph immediately formed a hypothesis.Leonard and Geoffrey exchanged glances, both visibly shaken by how accurate Joseph’s guess was."What? Am I wrong?"Joseph asked, noticing their reactions."You're not wrong—you're just too right."Geoffrey Harris paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head."Professor Wilson, that Raymond Kim has been frequenting all sorts of shady places for years. After spending a few days in police custody, he probably realized he might end up in prison. That scared him into thinking he might not see another woman for a long time.""So he went wild at a nightclub for a whole day and night, and sure enough, he ended up in trouble."Leonard Sanchez shook his head with a wry smile."Professor Wilson, your insight is frighteningly accurate."Geoffrey Ha
