“What precious treasure? I have no idea what you're talking about! Let me go!”Alice struggled against Mason, clearly flustered.“You said it last time!” Mason pressed, unwilling to let the matter drop.“I was talking about the plush toy Joseph won for me at the amusement park! It’s right there—see it for yourself.”Alice glanced toward the corner of the room.Following her gaze, Mason turned and saw the stuffed toy on a shelf.“This? You already told me about this! So this is your so-called ‘precious treasure’? I thought it was something... else.”She released Alice, but her gaze slyly drifted downward—settling on Alice’s ample chest with a look so roguish it made Alice instinctively cross her arms.Something about Mason’s eyes always felt suspiciously

“We’ve watched quite a few of Professor Wilson’s lecture videos before,” Gerald Ortiz said candidly, “but this time, we’re fortunate enough to be here at Nova University in person.”“So, a few of us discussed it and thought—why not sit in on one of his classes ourselves?”Geoffrey Harris hesitated, a flicker of unease flashing across his face as his mind raced through the possible implications.“Old Ortiz, in principle, there’s no issue with attending his lectures. It’s just… Professor Wilson has recently been entangled in some troubling matters,” he said tactfully.“Oh? You mean the incident on your university’s forum? You’re worried it might cloud our judgment of him?” Ortiz asked straightforwardly.“You’re aware of that too?” Harris looked rather

"Only questionable data requires experimental verification. If it's fine, there's no need to re-test it," Joseph replied without looking up."How can you tell just by looking? What, do you think I’m a computer? I don’t have every set of data memorized, nor can I instantly calculate the right results," Mason grumbled."My memory’s not bad. Professor Martin’s data, results, clinical outcomes—I may have worked on or read them before. Once I finish my own work, I’ll take a look for you," Joseph said, glancing at her."Really?" Mason’s eyes lit up."Just a look. If I spot any problems at a glance, I’ll point them out. That way, you won’t have to go through it line by line," Joseph clarified."That’s already a huge help. It’ll save me so much time and boost my efficiency," Mason said, warmth spreading through her chest. Her admiration for Joseph grew.This man might look sluggish most of the time, but when it mattered—he delivered.That’s what a real man was: someone who came through when i

"I’m just jealous of Mr. Wilson. He gets to enjoy this every day.""Some people are just born lucky. I’ve said it so many times, I’m tired of being jealous," Mason sighed dramatically, as if truly lamenting her fate."You’re impossible. Can you act normal for once?" Alice muttered while straightening her clothes.After about twenty minutes, Joseph parked the car in front of a fresh market.Knowing they were here for groceries, Mason eagerly hopped out."Mr. Wilson, I’m starving. I'm expecting a feast!" she declared enthusiastically.The two women entered the store and promptly raided the shelves, grabbing anything delicious and expensive.By the end of their spree, they had stocked up enough food for at least two days.Never underestimate a woman’s shopping instinct—even at a grocery store, once the mood hit, there was no stopping them.Roughly half an hour later, they returned to the car with bags in both hands.Another ten minutes passed before Joseph pulled up in front of the villa

“And even if it’s just the two of us—what, are you afraid I’ll eat you alive?”Joseph cleared his throat, flustered. “That’s not what I meant. If that’s how it is, then fine. I’ve got work anyway, might as well get it done at home.”“Our work’s the same, remember?” Mason added, raising her brows. “Professor Sanchez already sent everything to our emails. You should’ve received it too.”“It’s Charles Martin’s academic records, his papers, research results, and some experimental data.”Joseph quickly opened his inbox to check—sure enough, the files had arrived.“Working from home is fine,” Joseph muttered. “But I only have a desktop in my bedroom, no laptop. And if we’re working together… in my room… that’s just weird.”Mason shot him a look. “What’s so weird about it? A room is for sleeping, yes, but it’s also for working.”“Mr. Wilson, what exactly are you thinking? Or are you worried you’ll lose control and try something inappropriate while working?”Joseph sat up straight, exasperate

“No problem,” Joseph responded calmly.The task at hand was manageable, and he would see it completed.“Well then, Mr. Wilson, that’s all from my side. If you’re busy, feel free to go,” Harris said after glancing at the clock.Joseph checked the time himself—it was almost time for his next class.“It’s getting late. I have a lecture coming up—I’ll take my leave,” he said.He bid farewell to Harris and Sanchez and turned to go.“Mr. Wilson—” Harris called out just as Joseph reached the door.“Yes, Principal Harris?” Joseph turned back.“If any students express confusion or concern about your situation, please explain it to them patiently.”“I will. You have my word,” Joseph replied with a warm smile before stepping out.“Principal, from what I’ve seen on the forums, most of the students are supporting Mr. Wilson. His own students practically revere him. I doubt there’ll be any misunderstanding,” Leonard Sanchez remarked once Joseph had left.“That may be so, but I worry about unexpecte
