However, it was plain that Sebastian was insinuating that Cordon had taken a fancy to Claudia, yet he blamed him for his aggressiveness.
Cordon managed to tell it, but Claudia did not.
Smiling slightly, Cordon said, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about hormones. It seems that you have paid a lot of attention to the affairs of hormones."
"I'm very interested in everything." Sebastian replied frivolously, "It isn't only about hormones, but also about dopamine."
Cordon found that Sebastian had the ability to lead the conversation into an end, rendering people speechless in an instant.
He could only smile and change the topic, started chatting with Claudia.
"Claudia, can you go to work tomorrow?"
It was not until Claudia had heard him asking her that she stopped tittering. She tittered until her face had stiffened earlier.
It was so hilarious to think about it.
Claudia found it hard to believe that there was such a side to Sebastian's character.
"Yes, I've to go to work tomorrow definitely. Everything is ready. If I don't go, it'll be too slothful of me."
"I've already cleaned up your office, and I've also helped you to get the working supplies," Cordon said.
"Thank you." Claudia expressed her gratitude right away. "Cordon, it's really convenient for me to have you here."
"Don't mention it. We've been friends for many years." Cordon smiled and replied, "There's no need to stand on formality with me. You'd be regarding me as an outsider if you do."
"No, how would I treat you as an outsider?" With a smile, Claudia continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you're here, I wouldn't have come to work here."
It turned out that she was there for work due to the presence of the man.
Frowning, that handsome face of Sebastian's fell again. He stared at the road ahead with his eyes narrowed.
The imposing aura exuded from him was so palpable.
Claudia and Cordon were both police officers, thus they naturally sensed it.
Nevertheless, neither of them spoke to Sebastian. Cordon clearly felt the strong hostility from Sebastian.
Claudia did not know what to say, especially after the interruption earlier. It gave her a feeling that she really did not know Sebastian well.
Perhaps it was too superficial of her to have been infatuated with him so easily in the past.
Things would get serious whenever it came to relationship, and it was definitely not a matter that could be resolved by just saying "I love you".
They had to be responsible for themselves, for each other and toward their relationship. Those were the duties and decorum as an adult.
So, she did not pay much attention to Sebastian's curren state then.
What mystified Claudia was that the more she tried to ignore him, the more he seemed to care about her.
On the contrary, when she appeared in front of him back then, he was pissed.
It seemed that he used to think that she purposely showed up before him in the past. She did not want to appear in front of him anymore then, yet he took the initiative to approach her.
What was going on with him?
Had he gone out of his mind? Claudia pondered on that.
Cordon was a classmate and a buddy to her to begin with.
When they were in college, they were good partners and teammates. Claudia always considered Cordon as a good buddy, whom she would not fall in love with.
