When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0597

They met again at the small restaurant outside the main gates of Bedford College. By the time Miranda and Paul arrived, Sam was already there.

“Miranda, you’re here…” He walked up to her with a smile, his eyes focusing intently on her. He ignored Paul, acting as if he didn’t exist.

Miranda said, “Mr. Cooper, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Paul couldn’t help but smile when he heard Miranda addressing Sam in a formal manner.

It was only then that Sam seemed to notice him. “Dr. Jefferson, we meet again.”

Paul maintained the smile on his face. “Yes, it seems we are fated to run into each other all the time.”

“After you.” With that, he gestured for Paul to take the seat next to him. Then, he pulled out the chair on his other side for Miranda, If they sat in this order, it would be Paul, Sam, and Miranda.

“That side faces the door, which had a lot of traffic,” Paul said. “It gets windy when people entèr and leave. Miranda should sit beside me.” He pulled out the chair next to him.

Miranda thought for a moment and agreed that it made sense, so she changed spots. Now, the seating arrangement was….

Miranda, Paul, and Sam.

“Do you feel warmer now?” Paul ignored the darkened expression on Sam’s face as he asked Miranda.

She nodded. “Yeah.”

Narrowing his eyes, Sam said, “I have to say, it is really quite drafty on this side. I think I’ll switch seats too.

The seating arrangement changed once again, putting Miranda in the middle.

Paul was at a loss for words while Sam turned to Miranda with a smile. “I’ve already ordered the dishes. They’re all your favorites.”

Miranda thanked him but quickly realized she couldn’t let it be just about her food preferences since Paul was present as well. “Dr. Jefferson, why don’t you take a look at the menu and see if there’s anything you’d like?”
