...... In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Sierra had been busy managing her new store for the past five days. She was a meticulous person, so she did most of the work herself. From the ornaments in the shop to the stock shelves, she designed them all. She had been working day and night, so she was inevitably worn out after such a hectic period. Fortunately, most of the preparations were complete and the store would be ready for business once the goods had arrived. "Here, Sierra, have a glass of water before you get back to work." Diana was a longtime employee who had been working for Sierra for many years. She was there at the new store to help out. Seeing how busy Sierra was, Diana felt distressed. "Look at you, Sierra. You've lost so much weight in the past few days." "Have I?" Sierra accepted the cup and took a sip on it. Pinching her face, she said, "You must be kidding me, Diana. Look, my face is still chubby." "What

...... 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 sm

...... Miranda Attwood, who stood quietly next to Johan, inched a step forward. She looked at Sierra and smiled with a hint of embarrassment. "Hi, Sierra. I'm Miranda. We'll be classmates and roommates from now on. I'm not a local here and I'm very eager to get to know this city but I'm not familiar with the area at all so I might have to trouble you to bring me around in the future." "Hi Miranda, nice to meet you!" Perhaps because of Johan, Sierra was somewhat repulsive toward her. Miranda was ever so warm to her, so Sierra could not ignore her but greeted her with niceties. "We are all in the same course, so we'll definitely bump into each other a lot. Well, let's just get you two to your dorms now, yeah." Johan said as he and Maxtor carried the luggage so that they could get the two girls settled in. Miranda followed closely behind him. "Johan, the bags are heavy. Let me carry some. Don't tire yourself out." Maxtor said discontentedly, "It's

...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d

...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
