Miranda had forgotten to contact one person.

In the afternoon, Paul called her to check how things were going on her end. At that moment, she was busy in the lab. They exchanged a few quick words before hanging up, and her last words had been, “I’ll contact you once I’m done, okay?”

But now…

Frustrated with herself, Miranda picked up her phone and opened WhatsApp. There were several unread messages from Sawyer asking her what she was doing, whether she had eaten, and if she wanted to join him for a meal. But there wasn’t a single message from Paul.

She began typing but stopped halfway through, deleted everything, and initiated a video call instead.

A few seconds later, Paul answered, and his face appeared on the screen. Before Miranda could even apologize, she heard his soft, deep voice.

“Are you done with your work, Mimi?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“Are you tired?” he asked.

“No, I’m fine. Sorry, I should have contacted you right after leaving the factory.”

“It’s okay. I’ll be here whenever you
