Chapter 138
To see the master he admired, Daniel had cycled through more than a dozen outfits, trying to find the
perfect bnce between casual and presentable.
“Right, the master himself is about to show up, no time to waste!” In a fit of desperation, Daniel tousled
his hair into a chaotic mess, aiming to look a bit unkempt, not wanting to outshine the star of the show.
Daniel then turned to Mamie, “Listen, Mamie, Phoenix is a real deal! You’ve got to seize the moment
when he arrives! I’m telling you these tech wizards usually don’t get out much, not around someone like
you. With your looks, I bet you could make his heart skip a beat!”
“Bro, you’re overthinking it,” Mamie replied. “For all we know, he might already have a girlfriend. Plus,
tech nerds usually don’t have the best hairlines. What if Phoenix is bald?”
Given the tech wizards were staying up all night coding and losing hair, Mamie thought her concern
was not entirely unfounded.
Scratching his head, Danielmented, “I should’ve shaved my head! What if Phoenix feels inferior
seeing my lush hair?”
Mamie felt Daniel was worrying too much.
“Daniel, someone like Phoenix must be pretty old, right? What if he’s like sixty?”
Daniel stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then he said, “Good point. I should’ve dyed my hair
gray! What if he gets upset seeing me younger and more handsome?”
Mamie rolled her eyes at his baseless concerns.
Suddenly, a knocking sound cut through the silence.
Sherman, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them, revealing his deep and
inscrutable eyes.
”????
get the door,” Mamie volunteered, heading toward the sound.
“Wait!” Daniel held her back.
“What now?”
Daniel, trying to contain his excitement, said, “Let me do it! I’ll open the door for the
master!”
With trembling hands, he walked over and opened the door.
There stood a slender figure in a simple white button–down shirt, one side casually tucked into a pair of
jeans, exuding an effortless charisma. The person was tall, with an air of aloofness and an indefinable
allure.

What are you doing here?” Daniel pressed. “You’re not here for my Sherman, are you? Just so you

WHAT? Daniel thought he was hallucinating.
Anthea was Phoenix YC? Impossible

Phoenix VC whoever they were could not be Anthea! After all, Anthea was known in
Cloudcrest as a total washout!
At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the shadows of the room, his features obscured extending a
hand. “Pleased to meet you, I’m Sherman Christensen,” he greeted.
Anthes Yeager she replied without pretense, shaking his hand.
Her hand was soft and smooth, not rough like a man’s. It was delicate, almost like jade.
To Sherman, it was reminiscent of a piece of mutton–fat jade he had once acquired at an auction. He

How could she be Phoenix–YC? Sherman, don’t be fooled by her!”
Sherman gave Daniel a chilling look that sent shivers down his spine.
Daniel couldn’t believe how naive Sherman was being. Anyone with half a brain could see Anthea
wasn’t a tech deity!
Shewan then turned to Anthea, exining in a gentle voice, “He’s not quite right in the

Anthea nodded, indicating she wouldn’t stoop to argue with someone of unsound mind.
Sherman gestured politely, “Please,e in ”
Anthea followed him inside.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, and the soft chiming of the beaded curtains contributed to an
elegant atmosphere.
Mamie had not expected Phoenix YC to look like this.
Not a man! Not old! And definitely not bald!
