Jonathan frowned and was about to step forward when he saw Sierra dodge Yaron’s hand before he could touch her.

Her gaze darkened as she looked at the pen and paper he had knocked to the ground. Coldly, she met his eyes. “Who gave you the confidence to think I still like you?”

Yaron really was just like Evan–both of them suffering from an incurable case of blind arrogance.

Maybe it was a common flaw among scientists. She glanced instinctively at Jonathan.

Their eyes met. To her surprise, Jonathan actually understood what she was thinking. Adjusting his glasses, he said, “Not all researchers are delusional. Uh… maybe those two are just special cases.”

Sierra blinked, then let out a tiny smirk.

So, he had heard her mocking Evan that day.

It was only now that Yaron seemed to notice Jonathan’s presence. His face turned pale with panic. “P- Professor Yeager!”

He stammered out a greeting.

If Evan was his goal, then Jonathan was a legend–someone on an entirely different level.

And yet, he had just embarrassed himself in front of this godlike figure. Yaron was overwhelmed with

regret.

He never should have come to find Sierra.

Yes–this was Sierra’s fault.

But even as he blamed her in his heart, he didn’t dare show it on his face. His only priority now was salvaging his image in front of Jonathan.

“Professor Yeager, let me explain, I-”

Jonathan lifted a hand, cutting him off. “There’s no need to explain anything to me.”

“After all, I don’t even know who you are.”

“Hah!”

Sierra couldn’t hide her laughter. She had always thought Jonathan seemed mild–mannered, but when he wanted to be sharp, he didn’t hold back at all.

Anyone could see how much Yaron respected him, and yet he had landed a direct hit.

Yaron’s face turned red, then white, then green–what a show.

And Jonathan wasn’t done. “I might not know you, but you are a man, aren’t you? At the very lea should have some basic manners.”
