Adriana was upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at Denton in annoyance. \u201cCan you please not sit next to me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Denton looked hurt, like a little puppy wounded for no reason. He hesitated before speaking. \u201cIf I sit anywhere else, Nicole will follow me right away. I don\u2019t like her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana took a deep breath. So he was using her as his shield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t reply. Instead, during the second period, she switched seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked even more upset. When Nicole tried to sit beside him, he jumped up immediately, hugging his books, and tried to sit next to Adriana again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To stop him, Adriana moved and sat separately from Yolanda, leaving one empty seat between them. That way, there was no space left for Denton in their row.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda glanced at the boy. She didn\u2019t understand why Adriana was so against him. The kid was actually kind of handsome. He even looked a little like Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton stood there, holding his books, looking wronged. \u201cAdriana, can I sit between you and Yolanda?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana almost laughed in disbelief. He wanted the middle seat now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nicole slammed her hand on the desk and stood up in irritation. \u201cDenton! What\u2019s your problem? Are you aware of what might be beneficial for you? Sitting next to me will benefits you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked at her calmly. \u201cSorry. All I see are the downsides. You\u2019re too loud. I can\u2019t focus on my studies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda couldn\u2019t help but laugh. This little pup had some bite in him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow. \u201cYou want to sit between us? Alright. I\u2019m thirsty. I want bubble tea from the shop across the street.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She checked her watch. \u201cClass starts in ten minutes. If you can bring back two cups before the bell rings, I\u2019ll let you sit in the middle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s eyes lit up. He placed his textbook between Adriana and Yolanda, then turned and ran out of the classroom. He really went to buy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda froze. \u201cThis kid takes things so seriously. I was just messing with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana also realized there wasn\u2019t even a bubble tea shop across the street. The nearest one was two blocks away. There was no way he could make it back in ten minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Denton probably didn\u2019t even know what bubble tea was.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sure enough, class started, and Denton still wasn\u2019t back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana started to feel guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That kid loved studying so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Half the class had already passed when Denton finally returned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily, the lecturer was in the restroom, so he slipped in easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was wearing a simple tank top, and his sun\u2013kissed skin was covered in sweat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Denton clearly grew up working hard. His muscles were strong, and the sweat made him look bright, healthy, and full of energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere. Your bubble tea,\u201d he said shyly, placing it on Yolanda\u2019s desk. He was still catching his breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda just stared at him. This was the first time she was actually shocked by a boy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment, she stood up and let Denton sit between her and Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This kid was obedient to the point of being too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow far had you run to get these?\u201d Yolanda asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton gave a goofy smile. \u201cNot far. Just two blocks\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda said nothing and went back to her book.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton listened seriously, but because he missed the first half, he was a bit lost with the grammar lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda glanced at him, then quietly pushed her notebook toward him. \u201cThese are the key points. Copy them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton grinned, showing his little sunlit canine tooth\u2013a smile full of pure, bright, boyish charm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda paused for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had always been drawn to many types of men\u2013mature ones, steady ones\u2013but never the kind like Denton. He simply wasn\u2019t her type.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She only liked successful men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Denton was too green. He just started out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whole day of classes left Adriana in a bad mood. Nicole sat behind her, mumbling nonstop, refusing to study, and disturbing her every chance she got.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And next to her sat a ticking time bomb. Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frustrated, Adriana texted Curtis. \u201cDenton is sitting right next to me. Harold put him in the international class. Probably wants to polish his resume so he can return from abroad and fight you for the inheritance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She even sent an angry emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis replied quickly, \u201cFocus on your studies. Don\u2019t let it get to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana answered, \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After school, Nicole got picked up early by her driver. Denton left on an old mountain bike; no idea where\u00a0<\/p>\n
you, sister-in\u2013law.\u201d he even found that thing, but before leaving, he still waved at Adriana. \u201cSee\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda tilted her head. \u201cWhy does he call you that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s Michael\u2019s son from another family. Harold wants to bring him back to inherit the company,\u201d Adriana said honestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Yolanda really only cared about power and status, the future CEO of Lincoln Group would be a big deal to her. By telling her Denton\u2019s true identity, Adriana had basically opened the door for Yolanda to chase him, if she wanted to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
