Giving Up Research Rights Left Her Broke
When I went downstairs to leave, it was already past midnight.
In the darkness, Vanessa was sitting by the vending machine, dozing. When she heard noises, she immediately stood up, handed me a cup of coffee, and said, “Stephen, you’re off work? I bought this for you. It’ll help you stay awake. I added milk and sugar, so it’s not bitter.”
I looked at the coffee she held up and said, “Vanessa, do you know? Actually, I hate coffee. I don’t like spicy food either. On the contrary, I like sweets.”
