Paul had a lecture that day. During the break, he overheard two students discussing how a lab at the Faculty of Bioinformatics had been slapped with a fire safety violation and was ordered to shut down for rectifications.

He didn’t think much of it at first, but then he heard them mention “Miranda” in their conversation. After asking for more details, he realized it was her lab. Without hesitation, he headed straight over and happened to catch the three students talking.

“Dr. Jefferson,” Miranda greeted him, “What brings you here? Please, come in.”

Madison and Sebastian also quickly greeted him with respect.

Paul nodded and said, “I’ve heard about everything. If the fire safety corrections are followed strictly, it will take at least two months. Move everything to my lab in the meantime. There’s plenty of room for your equipment.”

It sounded like a reasonable solution. But instead of agreeing immediately, Madison and Sebastian both looked at Miranda, silently waiting for her to decide.

Unknowingly, Miranda had become the backbone of their little group. Whether they were facing a problem or needed to make a decision, the two instinctively sought her opinion.

Moreover, they knew that Paul hadn’t made the offer because of them.

Miranda hesitated for a moment, then politely declined.
