Although she was itching with hatred, she had to compromise as her waist got hurt. She grabbed the handkerchief he handed over with her fair and tender hands, exerting a lot of effort just to steady herself. She breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you. By the way, what's your name, handsome?" Cheyenne asked.
Sam casually folded the well-made handkerchief and threw it into the nearby trash can. Cheyenne widened her eyes and pursed her lips in anger.
"... Do you have to be so exaggerated?"
His face turned slightly red as his features became even more handsome in his blue suit that exuded an air of high-end quality.
"Sam Hurst. Miss Lawrence, you can call me Sam."
Sam? The image of three people on Kelvin's desk came into Cheyenne's mind - Kelvin in the middle, a young man wearing a sweater and white shirt on his left side with blonde hair and gentle smile; strangely enough, there was no head for the person on their right side which seemed cut off from the picture.
She had asked him about that picture before. Kelvin got annoyed by her questions and finally answered her.
The young man in the sweater was named Sam, his good friend.
As for the person whose head was cut off in the photo, no matter how much Cheyenne asked, Kelvin refused to reveal his name and even pushed her out of the study. When she returned to the study, the photo was gone, presumably hidden by him.
"Miss Lawrence? What are you thinking about?" Sam smiled lightly as he waved his hand in front of Cheyenne's eyes.
Cheyenne snapped back to reality with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth before flashing him a bright and sweet smile. "I'm just wondering how someone like you could be friends with someone like Kelvin."
Hearing Cheyenne mention Kelvin in a disdainful tone made Sam curious and gently ask, "Why do you say that?"
"You're good-looking except for lacking gentlemanly manners while Kelvin is such an arrogant cheapskate who acts like everyone owes him millions," Cheyenne said disdainfully. "He hardly talks or communicates because he has such an unsociable personality which makes being around him extremely boring."
A hint of darkness flashed through Sam's eyes while his lips curved elegantly as he spoke clearly yet charmingly, "Miss Lawrence, well, since he's so terrible, why did you choose him in the first place?"
Cheyenne lamented with a regretful expression on her stunning face and sneered. "It's all because I was young and naive."
"Well... Miss Lawrence, actually I wanted to say..." Kelvin is right behind you!
"If I had a chance to start over again, I would never choose someone like Kelvin," she continued.
As soon as she finished speaking, the air around them seemed to drop several degrees as if they had entered winter early. Or maybe it was just because the air conditioning was too low.
"Achoo!" She sneezed and felt a sudden chill on her hand.
Sam looked like he was facing an enemy with bulging veins on his forehead and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Master Sam, I'm sorry; the air conditioning is turned too low."
"It's okay," Sam replied stiffly.
'Really okay? Why does he look so terrified?' Cheyenne thought.
