When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0901

Miranda felt that if she didn’t find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all–nighter.

Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he still intended to keep going after waking up?

Miranda’s scalp prickled in disbelief after seeing his reckless determination. She knew Joli was driven, but she hadn’t expected this level of intensity. He was working himself to the bone, acting like his health didn’t matter!

“What are you standing there for? Pack up quickly and come out. We’ll be waiting for you at the door.”

With that, Miranda left with Paul. Joli stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

“Wait a minute…” he thought.

Lunch? At her house?

Joli didn’t make them wait long. He cleaned himself up in five minutes and was out the door in a jiffy. By cleaning up, it really was just washing his face and taking his lab coat off.

He hadn’t even bothered to fix his hair, so it was still a little messy when he reappeared. Nonetheless, he looked presentable, as if he had intentionally styled his hair in a casual

manner.

As expected, the saying was true. A good–looking face could make even the worst hairstyles look stylish.

Bewildered, Joli got into the passenger seat of Miranda’s cat. Paul raised an eyebrow at him before opening the door to his own car.
