When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 0586 

Agnes’s eyes lit up. “So, Mr. Sponsor, may I ask a question on behalf of all the single ladies here, including myself? Is that okay?” 

Sam gestured for her to go ahead. 

“Alright! Are you single?” 

Sam replied, “For now, yes.” 

“Then do we all stand a chance?” Agnes was bold in her questioning. 

“No.” 

“Why not?” 

Sam said, “Because I already like someone.” 

As he spoke, he glanced over at Miranda with a smile. Paul’s face remained expressionless, though the water bottle in his hand had somehow been squeezed but of shape. 

Madison glanced at Sam, who was openly displaying his interest, then looked at Miranda, who seemed entirely unaffected. Ultimately, she chose to keep her head down, focusing on her food. 

Indeed, everything was delicious! 

Ignoring the murmurs of disappointment around him, Sam handed back the mic and took his seat. His gaze drifted back to Miranda, noticing her cheek puffed out with food, like a little chipmunk. 

Even he found it odd just how fixated he’d become on one woman. He’d dated before, but none had ever captivated him this deeply or made him feel so invested. Or even so utterly… infatuated.. 

It was as if he could never get enough of watching her. For a fleeting moment, he imagined watching her 

like this forever. 

Paul broke the silence. “You seem to be in high spirits tonight, Mr. Cooper.” 

Sam responded coolly, “So do you, Dr. Jefferson.” 

Their eyes locked, tension sparking between them. 

Madison finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Miranda, I need to go to the restroom. Could you come with 

me?” 

“Gladly.” Miranda leaped at the chance to escape. Only after putting some distance between themselves and that table did she exhale in relief. 

Madison grinned, “Feeling any lighter now, Miranda?” 

“Thank you, Madi, You saved me.” 

She chuckled. “You’re welcome!” 

Getting away from the “battlefield‘ was the best choice. She ought to 

themselves. 

let the “roosters” fight it out.

After the spotlight introductions wrapped up, the event transitioned to free mingling. Music began to play. and colorful lights filled the open dance floor. 

Agnes’s voice rang out as she said, “Alright, gentlemen, step it up! The stage is yours, so go ask that special someone for a dance!” 

With that, she bowed and exited the stage, greeted by thunderous applause. 

Meanwhile, Willow was introducing Hansel to her close classmates. Dressed in a chic Chanel–inspired tweed outfit, she simply radiated charm. 

To her credit, Hansel had proven to be generous. This outfit cost a five–figure sum, and he’d gifted it to her without a second thought. 

He’d even selected a matching tie in the same color scheme to complement her attire. To others, they seemed inseparable, an almost ethereal couple. 

But Willow knew the truth. Although Hansel was physically by her side, his heart was elsewhere- specifically with Miranda. Despite his attempts at appearing indifferent, his gaze often flickered to distant corner. 

It was as though he couldn’t tear his attention away. Yet, he was careful enough to avoid catching Miranda’s or Sam’s attention. 

Willow took all of this in, her heart aching. After a moment, she composed herself, then turned to Hansel with a smile. “Hans, aren’t you going to invite me for a dance?” 

Hansel frowned. “Is that necessary?” 

Willow met his eyes directly. “Aren’t you curious what Miranda’s reaction would be if she saw you dancing with another woman right in front of her?”
