When the Flame of Love Fades

Chapter 10 It’s Me

Yaron’s smile froze on his face. It took him a moment to find his voice again. “Sierra, are you mad at me for not helping you?”

He continued, “I really did try. I even helped find a lawyer for you. But you ran someone over, Sierra. That’s not something a lawyer can just fix. There was nothing I could do.”

“Enough!” Sierra cut him off. Any more of his nonsense, and she was going to throw up.

She suddenly realized how well Yaron and Denise matched. They were both fake and manipulative.

“Stop bringing up the past. From now on, stay away from me.”

She had no interest in wasting her time on him, but Yaron didn’t seem to understand.

“Sierra, are you mad? Sierra, I’m really sorry! Sierra-”

She ignored him completely. When he saw that, Yaron instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm–only to freeze when he noticed the scars on her skin.

Before he could say anything, Denise arrived.

“Sierra, you and Yaron?”

“Denny!” Yaron quickly let go of Sierra and turned to Denise, scrambling to explain. “I just came out of the lab and saw your sister. I was so surprised.”

Watching the scene unfold, Sierra felt disgusted.

It was always like this.

Yaron would act all close to her in private, showing concern that went beyond simple friendship. But the moment Denise was around, he would immediately create distance, as if Sierra was some kind of disease.

Sierra had no intention of paying him any attention, but he just had to keep pushing his luck.

Her gaze swept over Yaron and Denise before she curled her lips into a smirk. “You two make a great match.”

One was a snake, the other was a phony–perfect couple.

Yaron’s eyes widened in shock. He had never expected Sierra–the pushover who was always so easy to manipulate–to say something like that.

Instinctively, he wanted to chase after her, but when he glanced at Denise, he stopped himself.

Denise frowned and looked at Yaron. “Yaron, I’ve told you before. There’s no way we’d ever be together. Sierra likes you, and I would never take something from her. So stop acting like this.”

With that, Denise huffed and ran after Sierra, leaving Yaron standing there, his expression dark ar frustrated.

Sierra arrived at the lab administration office–her meeting place with Misty. The door was open, but she still knocked lightly.
