The scene was inexplicably harmonious. The man was tall and handsome, wearing a white suit that accentuated his prince-like elegance, making people willingly submit to him.
His unparalleled demeanor should have placed him at the pinnacle of success, yet he willingly crouched in front of her to tend to her wound.
The scene was sweeter than any idol drama, with many girls casting envious glances and screaming in excitement.
Cheyenne felt nothing but embarrassment.
A cold gaze shot towards her like a sharp blade of frost in winter, full of dominance.
Kelvin watched the intimate interaction between the two with an inexplicable jealousy rising within him. He had known Sam for years and had never heard him talk about women before. Everyone in Akloit knew that Master Sam suffered from mysophobia and gynophobia.
At a social event once, a female server accidentally touched his hand and was immediately fired by Sam. He turned pale as he walked towards the bathroom amidst everyone's stares. When he came out again later on, both hands were red from washing them too much.
But now he knelt down before Cheyenne with tenderness on his face as he helped wipe away the wound on her knee. Why? Did he like Cheyenne?
When did this start?
Kelvin's mind kept wondering about these questions that seemed unbelievable to him.
He thought back to a few days ago when they played pool together; after which Sam personally drove Cheyenne home. Since then, Kelvin had noticed show Sam treated this woman differently.
Abbie looked at the two with hatred in her eyes; she used to admire Sam when she was younger because of his talent and looks that were no less impressive than Kelvin's - teachers even called him "a once-in-a-century genius".
Unlike Kelvin who could be aloof sometimes, Sam always appeared gentle without ever getting angry; there would always be warmth behind those gentle eyes.
It wasn't until after all those girls who confessed their love for him got rejected one by one did everyone realize there lay beneath this man's gentle facade an unfeeling heart.
Why did it have to be Cheyenne?
Anyone else would do - why specifically choose Cheyenne?
What does she have that makes Kelvin marry hery while Mr. Lara follows along devotedly? Now even Master Sam is taking care of her with such tenderness.
She couldn't accept it! What did Cheyenne have that she didn't, besides looks?
"Master Sam, what are you doing? It's so awkward. You must have seen the way people are looking at us, like they want to tear me apart. It's terrifying," she said.
And it wasn't an exaggeration; the stares were intense.
But Sam didn't seem to care at all. He just smiled with a hint of natural charm in his eyes as he spoke clearly, "As long as you don't feel awkward, then no one else should either."
But the problem was that she did feel awkward...
The first time they met, he avoided her completely. The second time he acted like a gentleman and now on their third encounter, he was helping her bandage up her wounds?
It was all too confusing for her.
She had long passed the age where she would indulge in fantasies; Kelvin had taught her what reality meant through some painful experiences but Cheyenne had no regrets about it.
"I'll do this myself," Cheyenne snatched away the cloth from him and quickly tied a bow around her knee before tightening it which made her grit teeth in pain.
