Chapter 0195
Miranda had an idea, but before acting on it, she needed to wait a bit longer….
She’d have to wait until the contract expired so she could proceed with the next steps.

One day, Miranda set out as usual, planning to head to the library. As she stepped out of her apartment building, she ran into Paul.
He was busy preparing for a new project and had pulled several all–nighters. He was just returning from
the lab.
“Good morning. Dr. Jefferson,” Miranda greeted him with a smile.
“You can just call me Paul when we’re not in school,” he replied with a hint of exasperation.
Remembering something, he added, “Oh, by the way, there’s something I wanted to get your opinion on Do you remember the unfinished project I mentioned to you before?”

Miranda nodded. She definitely remembered. That project aligned closely with the research are Interested in. And…
It was such a carefully selected and refined topic that it seemed a shame to abandon it halfway.
Paul asked, “Have you thought it through? Do you want to continue working on it?”
Miranda nodded without hesitation. “Of course, I do! But… I don’t have access to a lab, and I can’t complete the data portion, so I still can’t-”

All conclusions needed data support, and data came from countless experimental records. Without materials or equipment, she couldn’t conduct any experiments.
Paul suggested, “You can use my lab.” He paused and then added, “For free.”
Although his lab was established only in recent years, it was well–equipped with state–of–the–art facilities and equipment on par with the world’s leading standards.
“Really?” Miranda’s eyes widened in disbelief, surprised that such an incredible opportunity would land in her lap.
Paul smiled slightly, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Do I look like I’m joking?
Miranda hesitated for only two seconds before nodding enthusiastically. “Yes, yes! Thank you!”
On her first day at the lab, Miranda arrived punctually at 8:00 am. Paul came out personally to greet her.
“Morning,” he said.
Miranda smiled slightly. “Looks like you got here even earlier.”
Paul had been sleeping in the lab for the past few days. The facility included a dedicated rest area and even a shower room.
So, despite the slight fatigue on his face, Paul looked neat in his clean shirt, with bright eyes–far from the stereotypical image of a disheveled, sleep–deprived researcher.
“I brought you breakfast.” She had brought smoked salmon bagel and milk, Paul’s favorites.
Given that Paul was offering her free use of his lab and even took the time to meet her, Miranda felt that just bringing breakfast seemed like too modest a gesture. Still, it was the thought that counted.
Paul wasn’t one to fuss over small details, and sure enough, he accepted the breakfast with a smile. ” Thanks.”
At 8:20 am, Paul led Miranda to change into a lab coat and registered her fingerprints and iris information. From then on, she could directly access the lab without any hassle.
The sealed metal doors slid open on both sides, and Miranda followed Paul inside, glancing around curiously at her surroundings.
