Then her father leaned in, eyes gleaming with curiosity.“Sweetheart, are you still seeing that Professor Wilson?”“Of course. He just left. I walked him to the elevator,” Mason answered nonchalantly.“What?! He’s not your boyfriend? Why didn’t you let him stay the night?” Her father’s tone turned urgent, while her mother’s face twisted into something between agony and disbelief—like her daughter had just turned down a billion-dollar lottery ticket.“Mom, what are you talking about? He’s a grown man—how could he just sleep over at my place? That’d be so inappropriate!” Mason Alvarez sighed, exasperated.“He’s your boyfriend. What’s inappropriate about that?” her father chimed in without missing a beat.“Oh, come on, Dad, Mom—I’m not even sure what’s going on between me and Professor Wilson yet!” “What if we don’t get along in the end? Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?” Mason tried her best to explain, though her heart was anything but calm. As if she didn’t want Joseph to stay the nig

“I believe you? Not a chance!” Mason Alvarez grumbled, nearly hurling the mirror in her hand at Joseph.“Well, if you don’t believe me, forget it. Want to throw water on me too? Then we’ll be even,” Joseph said with a helpless smile.“Oh, don’t tempt me—I will pour water all over you,” Mason retorted without hesitation.“Go ahead then. Once we’re even, let’s never bring it up again,” Joseph chuckled.“No way. I won’t let it go that easily. I want you to remember what you did to me. I’m keeping this little piece of leverage for life,” Mason said smugly.She couldn’t quite explain it, but ever since meeting Joseph, strange and intimate moments like this kept happening between them. Maybe this was what people meant by fate?She glanced at Joseph thoughtfully, her mind wandering.Joseph just smiled and focused on driving.Alice’s place wasn’t far from Mason’s apartment—barely a seven or eight-minute drive.Soon, they arrived at the foot of her building.“Come on up, Professor Wilson,” Ma

“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
