When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0078

Miranda took the brown paper bag. Then, the two of them headed to Bedford College.

As they chatted on the way, she noticed that Sam was very knowledgeable once again. No matter what kind of topic she brought up, he was able to carry the conversation effortlessly.

He spoke in a steady voice and had a gentle manner. Miranda found it quite comfortable talking to him.

They walked around the campus and eventually passed by the stone wall. When Miranda looked to the side, she spotted a familiar face.

Paul had just finished class and was about to head to the lab. When he lifted his gaze, he met Miranda’s smiling eyes.

He halted in his tracks. Then, he noticed Sam, who was standing next to Miranda.

“I didn’t expect to run into you. Did your class just finish?” Miranda asked.

Paul nodded. “I’m going to the lab. What about you?”

“I’m showing a friend around the campus. I should introduce you to each other. This is Sam Cooper.”

Miranda turned her eyes to Sam next. “He’s Paul Jefferson.”

As their eyes met, Sam smiled almost unnoticeably and extended his hand. “Dr. Jefferson, I’ve heard a lot of good things about you.”

Paul shook his hand. “Likewise. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
