Chapter 1984
Those words were nothing more than a joke.
Sierra had her principles. She couldn't snatch someone else's man away.
However, it should be fine if she simply asked for his name, right? She thought. Hence, she put on a smile and asked, "What's his name?"
"Who was the one who said that he has a girlfriend, huh?" Maxtor didn't answer but replied with a question instead, looking like a hooligan who was trying to pick a fight. "Did he actually tell you that he has a girlfriend though?"
"He didn't have to. Anyone with eyes can tell." Sierra turned back and saw the two walking side by side towards the dormitory.
The two of them stuck close to each other. The young man stood tall and upright, and the girl was slender and delicate. Even though she couldn't see their faces, their backs were a picture admirable enough. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Although Sierra didn’t want to admit it, she had to give it to them that the two were indeed a perfect match in terms of appearance.
"He is sort of like the school hunk in our school, and also a top scholar to boot. He was admitted to our school with super high grades last year. Since childhood, he has been the model child praised by all the adults." Maxtor's eyes followed Sierra's. "His name is Johan Silas. J-O-H-A-N S-l-L-A-S."
"Johan Silas?" Sierra mouthed it silently, and like a knee-jerk reaction, committed this name to her memory.
After all, no matter what times they lived in, goodlooking and talented people were hard to come by-
"Hey Johan, wait for me." Maxtor carried Sierra's luggage and without telling her in advance, he ran after Johan.
Sierra stayed rooted.
After a few steps, Maxtor stopped and turned back. "Sierra, why are you still standing there?"
Sierra still didn't move. She didn't know him, so why would she chase after him?
So that she could watch as the couple promenade their affection to the public?
To her defense, she was no masochist to do that to herself.
When Maxtor saw that she wasn't moving, he returned and dragged her along with him. "Is he
not good looking enough for you?"
Sierra followed him unwillingly and asked, "Excuse me?"
"What I mean is that there are too many girls who are whipped for Johan!" Maxtor said, "It's not just the girls from our school, even the girls from school next door are in love with him. If you're not aggressive enough, he'll fall into the trap another she-devil has laid, and you won't even get a single taste of him."
What she-devil? And did he mean by a taste of him? Sierra found his words crude so she paid him no heed.
Maxtor was still blabbering ad infinitum. "I know that there are many excellent men in the world. Considering your identity, I'm sure you have many of those men revolving around you. But a man as outstanding and loyal as Johan is one in a million."
Sierra grasped on the points that Maxtor was trying to make. Johan was an outstanding and loyal man.
However, no matter how outstanding or loyal he was, he would only be so to another woman. It had nothing to do with herself.
Was Maxtor telling her all this so that she could see with her own eyes how loyal of a man Johan was? Was this all a tactic to get Sierra to back off?
There was no need for her to back off. She was a person with high principles, and her hatred for cheaters topped that list. Never would she wind up as a woman who would get in the way of someone's relationship.
She admitted that when she had laid eyes on Johan for the first time, she was really attracted by his looks, so she took the initiative to hit on him.
However, she jettisoned away all those thoughts to the back of her head the moment she found out that he was taken.
Sierra wrenched her wrist and broke free from Maxtor's grip before saying, "Maxtor, this is our first time meeting. We are not even considered acquaintances, are we? So do you actually think that it's appropriate for you to be dragging me around like this?"
Once again, Maxtor showed Sierra how his shamelessness had no end. "You might not know me, but I have known you for a long time. That's why I can't bear to let our school hunk, Johan, get gobbled up by some run-in-the-mill peasants."
Sierra looked at Maxtor with raised eyebrows. How did any of his words relate to what she was saying just then?
However, Maxtor did not bother her and once again grabbed her by the wrist. He said, "Don't look at me like that. There are some things that I can't tell you right now. You'll understand why I'm saying this after you've spent some time with us."
Sierra was confused by Maxtor's words. What couldn't he tell her right then? And what was she supposed to understand after spending time with them?
It seemed like he was asserting that Sierra and them would be friends.
At least at that moment, she had no inclination to befriend Maxtor at all.
While she was in a daze, Maxtor had already dragged her along to Johan who had been waiting forthem up ahead.
Without bothering if Johan actually heard him, Maxtor pushed Sierra toward Johan and said, "Johan, this is Sierra. She's our junior and also the top scorer in the entrance exam this year."
"We have already met." Unlike his earlier coldness, Johan wore a sincere smile on his face. His voice was like a warm summer breeze in March that blew right through Sierra. "Hi, Sierra! I'm Johan, which I believe Maxtor has already told you." "H-hi!" Not only was Johan's attitude different, the smile on his face was also genuine. It was definitely a smile from the bottom of his heart.
It turned out that the smile was not only for that girl but as long as she was around, that smile would naturally appear on his face.
As Maxtor had said, he really was an unequivocally devoted man.
She knew that Johan had a reason for smiling at her like that, but Sierra still couldn't control the quickening pace of her heartbeat.
As her heart beat faster, her brain seemed to take a life of its own. She nodded honestly and said, "Yeah, Maxtor told me."
"I'm your senior from now on. If you need help with your studies, feel free to come to me." Johan's voice was particularly pleasant and his handsome face was even more striking under the sun.
"Okay, Johan." Sierra nodded honestly like a star struck little fangirl.
"Well, since we're all well acquainted now, let's send them to the dormitory now." Maxtor looked over to the girl beside Johan. His gaze was somewhat upset, his tone unfriendly. "Johan, what room number is she in? We can head there together if it's on the way. Otherwise, I can take her, and you can take Sierra to her room."
No matter how one heard it, there was a clear intention lurking in his words, but Johan didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Sierra was too confused to notice anything wrong with what he had said.
"They are staying in the same room and they will be roommates from now on." Johan shifted his gaze from Sierra to the girl and said, "Miranda, this is Sierra, who you've been wanting to meet."
