He had long memorized all the public records posted on StarNet. Cheiron was twenty-four, and Baar was twenty-five. As for the other two men, even the Central Brain had no official files on them. They were most likely unregistered residents from some remote, run-down planet, with no confirmed ages to speak of.
Timothy ran through the list in his head. Out of all five matched partners, he was the only one who could use this special nickname for her.
This was a title meant just for him and no one else.. 1
The moment he figured this out, the faint hurt in his heart faded completely. He agreed without hesitation. “Sounds great, My Lady!”
His voice was bright and cheerful, and he flashed a wide grin right after speaking. He was sharp when it came to dealing with people, and he knew exactly how to go with the flow. To grow closer to Margaret, the name he used never mattered much to him.
Margaret waved a hand to send him off. “Alright, head back to your room and get some sleep.”
“Good night, My Lady.” Timothy left with a satisfied look and walked back to his own quarters.
Silence finally settled over the room. Margaret leaned back against the sofa and opened the StarNet Mall on her Holo-bracelet. She planned to pick out a few new clothes to change into.
A virtual screen unfolded in mid-air, displaying a wide variety of outfits.
She scrolled casually through the items until her gaze landed on a pink lace dress. It had an intricate design, with layers of soft, sheer fabric paired with its gentle pastel shade,
As she stared at the dress, the image of Phoebe’s pitiful face popped into her mind out of nowhere. That woman always favored this style of clothing and loved to play the helpless victim while hiding behind other men.
What a bummer.
A look of distaste crossed Margaret’s face. She quickly swiped the page away. She decided to just buy a set of pajamas for the night first.
Before she could pick a suitable style, the doorbell rang.
Who will come visiting so late at night?

Margaer pulled up the surveillance feed by the entrance. A sleek black hoven ar, understated yes Juxuryom, sat outside the yard in the dim night. The car window was rolled down partway, and she could make out the side proble of a man in the driver’s seat
It was Cheiran
Margaret pressed the button to unlock the main door and also granted him access to the building’s underground garage. The hovercar glided smoothly inside.
A few minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door. The rhythm was steady and polite.
Margaret walked over and opened it.
Cheiron strod in the doorway, his posture tall and straight. He wore a soft, dark gray casual shirt with the cuffs rolled up loosely. One hand held a sleek silver suitcase, and the other carried a paper bag marked with the logo of a high-end luxury brand.
It was clear that the leading figure from the Academy of Sciences intended to stay here for a long time.
Chetron spoke in a warm gentle tone and held out the paper bag toward her. “I apologize for stopping by so late and disturbing your rest.”
Margaret took the bag, looking confused. “What is this?”
“When I went back to pack my things, I noticed all the clothes you told me to throw away were just your everyday wear, Cheiron said calmly, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary. “I picked out a set of pajamas on the way here, sized to match your old clothes. See if they fit you well. The small case you asked for is inside the bag, too.”
Inside her mind, Primo began to chatter excitedly. “Listen to this! Look at this! This is what a top-tier male should be like. It’s all about the little details. This is a truly thoughtful man who knows how to care for others. Mr. Jewett has completely won me over. He’s earned the number one spot for sure.”
Margaret tuned out Primo’s noisy ramblings.
She lowered her eyes and spoke softly. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Cheiron glanced down the hallway. “Which room is mine?“
Margaret gestured toward the row of rooms across the hall. “There are three empty rooms over there. You can pick anyone you like.” She paused for a second and added a quick update on who was already staying there. “Timothy is in the left room, and Baar is in the one on the right.”
Right after she finished speaking, the door on the left swung open suddenly.
Timothy had clearly done this on purpose. He had left his door slightly ajar all along, quietly keeping an eye on what was happening outside.
