When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0316

Since it was lunch break, the entire lab was quiet.

Paul opened the door to his break room. First, he washed his hands at the sink and wiped his face before walking toward the inner room.

His clean clothes were kept inside.

Paul pushed the door open and approached the cabinet. As he unbuttoned his shirt, he reached for the clean one.

Miranda had woken up the moment Paul opened the door. Her folding bed was placed behind the door. When the door was open, it concealed her conveniently, creating a natural hidden corner.

However, being concealed didn’t mean being completely hidden. It was just harder to notice her; it didn’t mean she couldn’t see anything.

The sight of Paul taking off his shirt appeared before Miranda the second she opened her eyes. The shirt was already halfway off his shoulders.

Miranda was stunned at the sight.

As she was hesitating whether to speak up to remind him of her presence in the room, he had already taken off his shirt completely.

Well, there was no need to hesitate now. Speaking up at the moment would only make things more

awkward.
