Miranda smiled faintly. “It’s okay, we can talk about it.”
Even with her reassurance, the conversation fell silent.
Then, Winter’s side of the call got noisy. “Mimi, I need to go. The family dinner’s starting, and my mom’s looking for me.”
“Alright,” Miranda said.
After they hung up, Miranda was about to put her phone away when she got several WhatsApp messages.
It was from Sam.
He sent over documents about an international lawsuit, along with receipts and a quick update on how things were going. There were also a few forms she needed to sign.
Miranda was surprised at how quickly things were moving with the lawsuit, considering how complicated and slow international cases usually are.
Miranda downloaded the documents, signed them online, and sent them back to Sam.
Sam quickly confirmed he got them and then sent a playful message, “You trust me that much? Aren’t you worried I might betray you?”
Miranda replied, “You wouldn’t.”
Sam felt a warm feeling inside and smiled. Her trust seemed to make him happy. He then typed, “Don’t worry, it’s just some routine paperwork. Nothing more, I promise.”
Miranda raised an eyebrow, not impressed. She wasn’t naive. She had carefully checked every document before signing. Besides, if Sam wanted to deceive her, he wouldn’t use such obvious methods.
A few seconds later, Miranda’s phone buzzed again.
Sam: “Merry Christmas Eve, Miranda. I hope my wish comes true next year.”
By 9:00 pm, the Christmas special was on TV.
