Benson was still too naive to have given up on such a gem for another woman. Luckily, he wasn't the CEO of Gray Corporation.
Just like that, he had unintentionally left the impression of a man who could be blinded by lust in everyone's eyes, adding to the challenges he would face in his future ambitions for power.
Seeing everyone discuss Theo and Sierra's relationship so freely in the group chat and bringing up Benson, Adrian nearly dropped his phone in shock.
How dare they discuss such things so openly? If Theo found out about it…
Adrian shuddered and quickly closed the chat.
…
Outside the company, Sierra felt a gush of cold wind and shrank her neck back.
Almost immediately, Theo moved to stand in front of her and a warm coat was draped around her shoulders.
She looked up, and the bright lights out on the street were reflected in her eyes. Seeing the shimmer in her eyes, Theo froze momentarily before he reached out to brush the corner of her eye.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Sierra asked in confusion as she reached out to wipe the corner of her eyes with her hand.
Theo snapped back to his senses and pulled the coat draped over her shoulders tightly. Then, he explained, "Get in the car."
Once she got into the warm car, she used the car window as a mirror to check her face. Once she was sure that there wasn't anything on her face, she turned to look at Theo in confusion.
Did he wipe off whatever that was on her face just now?
Theo adjusted the heater to a comfortable temperature and asked calmly, "Would you like to eat out or go home for dinner?"
When he mentioned dinner, Sierra's stomach let out an embarrassing growl. As she began to think about what she should eat, all those incidents from earlier were instantly pushed to the side.
…
The next day, Sierra was met with everyone's stare as soon as she arrived in school.
Compared to the previous instances where she was left feeling dumbfounded, she felt much more nonchalant as she now knew the reason behind their stares.
Once she arrived in the piano room, she took out her phone and logged into the university's forum.
