Miranda nodded. “It’s no trouble.”

“Thank you.”

As soon as Paul stepped inside, the cool air hit him. It was a stark contrast to the heat in his own home. Since it

wasn't his first tin her apartment, Paul casually changed into a pair of house slippers while Miranda went to

get him a glass of water in the kitchen.

It was already 4:00 pm. Miranda assumed he had eaten lunch, but she asked out of courtesy anyway, “Dr.

Jefferson, have you had lunch?”

“Yes, | have.”

“Well... how about sfruit? I just cut some.” She disappeared into the kitchen again and returned with a fruit

platter.

“Thank you.”

Miranda sat on the couch and picked up a piece of melon with a fork. Munching it, she asked, “Did the workers

mention when your air conditioner might be fixed?”

“It's not too difficult to repair, but a part needs to be replaced. They don’t have it with them, so they'll have to

get it from a nearby shop. It could take another two to three hours to be restored.”

“That's pretty quick. Don’t worry and just stay here for now. Go back after your air conditioner is fixed. It’s too

uncomfortable without AC in this weather.”

“Thank you. You can do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me,” Paul replied.

“Alright.” Miranda nodded. As she was about to head to her bedroom, she turned to Paul and pointed in the

direction of the bathroom. “Dr. Jefferson, the bathroom is over there if you want to take a shower.” Paul's white

shirt was soaked with sweat and clung to his body, outlining the muscles on his shoulders and back. Now that he

was in the air-conditioned room, the wet fabric would be chilly.

The rapid change from hot to cold wasn’t just a matter of being comfortable. It could easily make him sick.

Paul almost choked when he heard Miranda's words. The half-eaten piece of melon was still in his mouth, and he

struggled to swallow it, unable to spit it out.

Finally, he recovered and said, “No, no, it’s fine. I'll go hand shower first, then I'll cover.” Miranda

nodded. “Alright, that’s okay too. If you feel any early symptoms of a cold, like sneezing. congestion, or a runny

nose, just letknow. | have smedicine to prevent a cold.”

“Okay.” Paul returned hwhile Miranda retreated to her bedroom. She still had one paper left to read. It was

better to complete her tasks for today rather than leave them for tomorrow.

After half an hour, Miranda closed her laptop. She held her arms high and leaned back, satisfied after stretching

her sore back.

It was the weekend, and she had a guest over. She had also bought plenty of fresh ingredients the day

before. At the very least, she should cook a hearty dinner for her guest.

Miranda opened the fridge and scanned the contents, mentally planning out sdishes she wanted to make

for dinner.

Since there was no one in the living room, Paul likely hadn't returned. She took off the cardigan she was wearing

and hung it on the coat rack in the corner of the living room.

The cardigan over her tank top felt just perfect, not too hot and not too cold.
