Chapter 0975 

Miranda asked, “Tell me honestly, when did you arrive?” 

Paul was about to say that he arrived ten minutes ago when the words caught in his throat. Finally, he gave her a helpless smile. “Alright… an hour ago.” 

“Why did you come so early? Didn’t I send you my flight details?” 

“I wanted to see you sooner.” 

Their eyes met, and a smile spread across Miranda’s face. “But I’ve only been gone for less than three days.” 

Paul replied, “To me, it felt like an eternity.” 

“You…” 

“Yes?” 

Miranda’s cheeks were flushed. “You’re quite good at sweet talks…” 

Paul said seriously, “I only speak the truth.” 

Miranda could only click her tongue in mock exasperation. 

Sawyer witnessed their intimate interactions as he stood nearby. It was like a sharp blade piercing his heart. So, her boyfriend was Paul Jefferson? 

But they seemed so distant last time at the hospital. They didn’t seem like a couple at all. 

Sawyer pursed his lips into a straight line, and he suddenly felt a surge of anger. Miranda must have hired him to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to reject him! 

He stormed over in anger. “Miranda, there’s no need for you to do this!” 

Miranda and Paul were both taken aback. 

Sawyer continued, “You can reject me, but you can’t… You don’t have to put yourself at a disadvantage just to lie to me.” 

Women would always be the one on the losing end when intimate behavior like hugging and kissing were involved. 

Sawyer turned to Paul. “I don’t know why you’re cooperating with Miranda in this childish act, but do you realize how damaging this kind of behavior is to a woman’s reputation?” 

Although he felt hurt and disappointed by Miranda’s rejection, he wasn’t the type to not know when to stop pursuing. It wasn’t worth it for her to reject him by staging a fake relationship with another man and risking her own reputation 

It truly wasn’t worth it.

Miranda and Paul exchanged a glance. 

Paul’s darkened gaze was icy and cold. This guy clearly had ulterior motives. He was after his girlfriend. 

Meanwhile, Miranda sized Sawyer up, as if she saw him in a completely new light. She had to admit that his values were actually quite upright and admirable. 

She met Sawyer’s gaze with a serious expression. ‘Mr. Jensen, you’re mistaken. This isn’t an act, and he’s not someone I hired. We only confirmed our relationship the night before I left for Zettenburg.” 

Stunned, Sawyer took a moment to process the news. “The night before you left for Zettenburg?” 

“Yes.” 

“Then you… I…” Sawyer stammered. 

Miranda said, “You’re a fine man and a professional. I was able to find the right materials on this trip to Zettenburg all thanks to your connections. I’m truly grateful. I hope you meet someone even better in the future.” 

After she had finished, Paul took her hand and grabbed the handle of her luggage with the other. “Let’s go.”

The two walked off together, leaving Sawyer rooted to the spot. 

Maybe he had stood there for only a few seconds, or perhaps it was a few minutes…
