Chapter 1983


    Despite Sierra saying a great deal, all he responded with was, "Hi there." This was not how she had


    expected things to unfold at all.


    She looked at him, wearing the sweetest smile she could manage, and said, "My name is Sierra


    Yard. Now that I have told you my name, shouldn''t you tell me yours too?"


    Perhaps it was because Sierra was being too persistent, or perhaps it was for some other reason,


    the young man finally lowered his head, his gaze settling on Sierra.


    He parted his lips and was about to say something, but a voice suddenly interrupted him.


    "Johan!"


    A gentle female voice came from behind. At the same time, she noticed that the smile on his face


    had changed. It was warm and sincere right then, so much so that anyone who saw him could tell


    that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.


    At that instant, Sierra finally realized that the smile he had on earlier was nothing but a wonderful


    mask.


    Hidden beneath the mirth of a smile was his handsome but emotionless face.


    Sierra couldn''t help but want to know what kind of person could change his smile into such a


    pleasant and attractive one in an instant.


    Turning around, Sierra gazed at a girl in a white dress. She was standing not too far behind her and


    was waving at him.


    The girl in question was young and beautiful. Physique wise, she was tall and slender, and her long


    hair fluttering in the breeze. Under the autumn sunshine, she was truly a sight to behold.


    At that moment, Sierra felt that a gust of wind blew past her. She took a careful look and realized


    that the young man was already running over toward that girl.


    He went to her side and hurriedly helped her with the luggage that she was holding in her hand. He


    even tucked the girl''s hair behind her ear with affection.


    They were quite a distance away from Sierra so she couldn''t hear what he was saying to the girl.


    However, she could notice his unconcealed care for the girl through the look in his eyes.


    She could also see the adoration and affection unveiling in the girl''s eyes when she looked at him.


    They were both good- looking, enhancing the gorgeous scenery of the campus. They looked good


    together, but all the same, Sierra found them an eyesore.


    s, it turned out that he was taken.


    Since he already had a girlfriend, why the heck was he there to wee the freshmen?


    Didn''t he know that this school had an unwritten rule that on the first day of ss, seniors weren''t


    supposed toe out here, unless they had ulterior motives.


    But then again, it was not wrong for him to be there. He had indeede with an intention. That girl


    was the reason why he was there.

    What a waste of her time and efforts! Sierra thought.


    She retrieved her gaze and was about to turn around. However, when she did so, she was met with


    a magnified face. Stunned, she took a step back.


    The bodyguards who were following closely behind her immediately stepped forward and stood


    between her and the man. "Heyd, what are you doing?"


    "We''re at a university so why the panic?" Sierra stopped her bodyguard and ordered, "You guys can


    go back first. I''ll handle my luggage and go to the dormitory on my own."


    "Miss Sierra..." The bodyguards wanted to speak, but Sierra raised her eyebrows and looked at


    them with displeasure. She continued, "Grandpa asked you guys to send me to school, not to


    breathe down my neck. Do you understand me?"


    "Miss Sierra, this man..." The two bodyguards worked for Maxwell. They knew how much the old


    man adored Sierra. If they did not see Sierra off to the dormitory personally, how would they exin


    themselves to Maxwellter on?


    Sierra continued, "You guys are not leaving, huh?"


    One of the bodyguards answered, "Old Master ordered us to send you to your dormitory."


    Sierra was frustrated.


    She really wanted to let her temper loose.


    They were in the campus, who on earth would dare toy a hand on her? So she said, "This man


    was probably just a fellow student here. It''s fine, don''t waste your concern on this."


    However, the two bodyguards remained unmoved.


    Sierra said in exasperation, "You..."


    Just as Sierra was at a loss of what to do, the man, who had just frightened her, smiled and said,


    "Sierra, hello. I''m Maxtor Baker, a second- year student in the English department, and also your


    senior. I''m responsible for helping the freshman with their luggage today. I apologize for being so


    abrupt earlier."


    "No worries. Thank you, Maxtor!" Sierra said politely. She looked at the two bodyguards behind her


    and said, "See, I told you two that he''s a student here. What else are you guys worried about?"


    The bodyguards kept silent.


    They just weren''t at ease to leave her by herself!


    They could tell at a nce that man bore no honorable intentions towards Sierra. So how could they


    trust him with her luggage?


    However, they were smart enough to read the room. They could tell that Sierra wasn''t interested in


    him so he wasn''t much of a threat.


    In order not to annoy Sierra, they reluctantly handed her luggage over to Maxtor before going back


    to Maxwell to report about the situation.


    As soon as the two bodyguards left, Sierra reached for her luggage. Maxtor, who was one step


    ahead of her, said, "Sierra, it''s my pleasure to help you as your senior. You can treat me to dinner


    some other day to thank me, if you like."


    "Treat you to dinner? Are we close enough for that?" Sierra stared at him. "By the way, how do you


    know my name?"


    "How do I know your name?" Maxtor stopped and looked at Sierra with amusement. "Sierra, those


    who can get into this school should be pretty smart, so why would you ask such a childish


    question?"


    Sierra was puzzled. "And why is my question childish?"


    Maxtor added, "Let me tell you something, Sierra. If you''re overly modest, it''ll juste off as being


    arrogant."


    "Excuse me, I don''t know you. And stop calling me by my name, it makes me ufortable." Sierra


    looked at him discontentedly. "Anyway, why did you say that I''m being overly modest?"


    Maxtor said, "Well, who in this city doesn''t know the Yard family? Besides, you have two


    bodyguards following you. How could anyone not recognize who you are?"


    Sierra admitted that she had been careless. She should not have let the bodyguards send her to


    school.


    Maxtor added, "Also, you''re the top scorer in the entrance exam this year. So who wouldn''t know


    you?"


    "Oh," Sierra replied.


    She knew that the Yard family was famous, but she was usually pretty low-key. On top of that, she


    had somehow managed to be the top scorer so she couldn''t eveny low even if she wanted to.


    Maxtor looked at her calm face and was slightly dissatisfied. "Is that all you have to say?"


    Sierra said, "By the way, what''s your name again?"


    Maxtor was also a handsome man himself so he had not been ignored that way before. He said


    loudly, "My name is Maxtor. M-A-X-T-O-R. More importantly, I know that guy."


    He pointed to the youngd from earlier and said, "He''s not only my batch mate but also my


    roommate. I know what his name is."


    "So what?" It seemed that Maxtor had overheard what she had said when she took the initiative to


    greet the man so he decided toe over to make things awkward for her. "He has a girlfriend. Are


    you expecting me, Sierra Yard, to break them up?"
