When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 0574 

Miranda just let that random guy pull her away. She even nodded sweetly while saying, “Sure.” 

Sam watched, his eyes practically glowing red with jealousy. Who even was that guy? 

Normally, if Sam even accidentally brushed against Miranda, she’d jump back two steps, but with this guy. 

ner earlier. 

Apparently, he’d completely missed Jack’s conversation with the diner owner 

“Mr. Cooper… Mr. Cooper!” Harry Wayne, the project manager who was accompanying Sam, called his name but failed to get a response. He finally raised his voice and called out again. 

“What!” 

The icy stare Sam shot him made Harry’s scalp prickle, his breath catching in his throat. “Your, uh.. your phone is ringing.” Harry gulped nervously and wiped the sweat from his brow 

Meanwhile, Sam took out his phone. Without a word, he declined the call. Harry’s heart sank, and his 

anxiety grew. 

Meanwhile, Miranda and Jack had already started eating 

Jack asked, “What do you think?” 

Miranda nodded immediately. “It’s delicious” 

The owner caters mainly to construction crews, so she makes it tasty and serves generous fillings. Here, eat some more,” Jack said while giving the other half of the sandwich to Miranda before digging into his 

meal. 

“Jack, that’s too much I can’t finish it ” 

“You sure can! Look at how thin you’ve gotten–you need to eat more to build some strength 

Miranda was speechless. Her cousin’s love came entirely in the form of food. 

“By the way, that guy just now seemed suspicious. He doesn’t look trustworthy. As a young woman out in the world, you need to be cautious 

“Don’t think I’m being overprotective it’s better to be safe than sorry. You can’t spot a bad guy just by looking at his face 

At that moment, Jack’s sense of responsibility as her older cousin surged With Lionel and Mindy not around, he felt it was his duty to protect and educate his little cousin 

An old saying came to his mind. “Prevention was better than cure 

Meanwhile, Sam–unaware he’d just been labeled a suspicious character–had completely lost his appetite. The fragrant meal in front of him held no appeal whatsoever. 

His attention was locked on the scene nearby. It was Miranda and Jack, sitting together, laughing and 

chatting

And when he saw Jack passing food from his own plate to Miranda without her objecting. Sam’s face tightened. His jaw set, and his eyes burned. 

Harry sat next to him, hungry to the point of desperation, and was nearly in tears 

Not only was he witnessing his boss’s worsening mood and increasing tension, but he also had to sit there, inhaling the tantalizing aroma of food he couldn’t touch–someone, please save him! 

Suddenly, Sam stood up. He grabbed his plate and walked over to Miranda’s table. “Mind if I join you, Miranda?” he asked with a smile, convinced he looked effortlessly charming. 

The reality, however, was less flattering. Dressed in a dusty work uniform and wearing a dirt–streaked safety helmet, he looked no less rugged than Jack 

Miranda paused for a moment before replying. “Not at all, feel free!” She even smiled at him. 

Truthfully, as Sam walked over earlier, a thought suddenly struck Miranda. Since he had a construction site here a sizable resort project, no less–he probably had a cent workforce at his disposal, right? 

Could she possibly. 

Miranda’s mind raced, considering the possibilities 

Unfortunately, Sam missed all this, seeing only that the woman he liked had smiled at him. Instantly, his heart soared, and he shot a challenging look at Jack 

It was as if he was saying, “Step aside, buddy. You dont measure up!” 

Jack raised an eyebrow 

This suspicious man had some nerve, all night. How unbelievable!
