Yvette nced up at Bonnie’s mysterious expression. A brief flicker crossed her eyes as she spoke coldly. “Jeremiah.”


    Bonnie almost choked, coughing. “We, you’re amazing!” She rolled her eyes yfully and whispered, ‘I bet it was Top Dog who told you.


    Yvette sighed, rubbing her temples exasperatedly. Does Jeremiali know that Bonnie called him “Top Dog? she wondered,


    Bonnie rambled on, recounting everything that happened earlier that day. “Yve, you missed quite a show today! Top Dog was on fire today. Some guys from the physics department who isually think they’re all that because of their good grades decided to challenge him, but he answered all their questions without missing a beat, shutting them downpletely. You should’ve seen it; it was epic”


    Seeing Yvette listening without surprise, Bonnie thought. Of course, how could someone like me ever hope to reach the heights of these powerhouses?


    As Yvette was finishing her meal, she bumped into Zeke and his group of rowdy friends. Zeke had heard about the recent events at school and was looking for an opportunity to meet Yvette.


    He mainly wanted to ask about the guy who was backing her. Someone who could make the Sullivan family bankrupt in just half an hour and rted to InnoCrest Technologies was no small fry.


    He felt like someone was coveting what was rightfully his


    One of Zeke’s friends started to make a scene. Zeke had been boasting to them that he was close with Yvette. Therefore, it wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t greet Yvette.


    With a wide grin, Zeke walked over. “Yvette, you’re having lunch here too?”


    Yvette looked up to see that it was Zeke. She ignored him and focused on eating her ribs.


    Bonnie stood quietly on the side, too afraid to speak. It was clear to her that Yvette didn’t want anything to do with him.


    Zeke had no choice but to call out to Yvette again. His heart fluttered with excitement as she looked up.


    “Get lost, Yvette ordered.


    Zeke’s expression changed immediately. Luckily, his friends were seated further away, or he’d be embarrassed. Not wanting to be the butt of jokes, Zeke forced a smile despite Yvette’s cold attitude,


    “I just came here to say hi to you. I’ll leave now. Oh, by the way, Dad asked me to remind you toe home for dinner sometime.” With that, he turned and went back to his table.


    He lied to his friends, telling them that his conversation with Yvette went well and that she was too shy toe over to say hello. And they believed him, agreeing that Zeke was right. After all, girls could be shy when they were in front of charming people.


    After finishing their meal, Yvette and Bonnie went back to the physics ssroom together. Zeke watched them leave, his gaze dark and unreadable.


    The atmosphere in the physics ssroom was buzzing with excitement.


    Ryan had returned from hispetition in another province, bringing home another trophy for Argrol University, along with a cash prize of 30 thousand dors.


    Though 30 thousand dors wasn’t much to Ryan, whose family could spend the same amount for a single shirt, he had nned to donate the money to the physics department to buy newb equipment. However, Simon insisted that he keep half of it to treat his ssmates to a meal of sorts.


    Ryan knew Simon meant well, trying to help him build better rtionships with his ssmates, but he just wasn’t used to socializing like that.


    He thought about just letting it go, but students from the physics department overheard in the office and spread the word


    back in ss,


    Reluctantly, he agreed to take them all to Sky Nimbus for a meal.


    As soon as the students heard that Ryan was treating them at such a fancy ce, they were over the moon and could hardly focus on the lesson after that.


    When Yvette and Bonnie entered the ssroom, they immediately noticed Rynn surrounded by an excited crowd, looking overwhelmed.


    “Yve, see that guy surrounded in the middle?” Bonnie asked.


    Yvette nced over. It was hard not to notice. A guy. Pretty good-looking That was what Yvette could think.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    To her, men were either alive or dead, and now, she could add a new category, a meal buddy.


    Yvette wasn’t interested in who he was and just acknowledged it casually. “Yeah.”


    “That’s Ryan. He’s the top studentin the physics department and Mr. Sundend’s favorite. It’s no wonder Mr. Sundend favors him; he’s exceptionally smart, alwaysing first in every exam, leaving the second ce far behind. He had won countlesspetitions. Most importantly, he’s the sole heir to the Lewis family, one of the four major families in Seacrity. However, it seems he’s not interested in finance. He spends all his time in the physicsb. There’s a rumor circting that his goals were not in Seacrity but in the national physicsb in Betrico. He’s weird though, pretty introverted, and reclusive. You never see him getting close to anyone, and given his prestigious status, not many dare to approach him, so he doesn’t really have friends at school,” Bonnie exined


    Ryan felt ufortable being surrounded by the crowd. The constant chatter around him was making him restless. His eyes wandered, trying to find something to distract himself.


    That was when his gaze met with Yvette’s unexpectedly.


    Ryan was taken aback.


    The girl stoodzily at the entrance, her blue jacket casually draped over her shoulders, with a carefree smile on her lips. Her entire demeanor screamed of a nonchnt defiance.


    Confident. Arrogant. That was Ryan’s first impression of Yvette, butter, he woulde to realize that she w


    than that.


    far more


    At that time, Yvette had already reached a level unreachable by everyone else, bing a figure he could only look up to


    The crowd noticed Ryan’s fixed gaze. Turning around, they saw Yvette and Bonnie and went silent simultaneously. Ryan had just returned, so he naturally didn’t know what had happened. He was confused by the situation.


    “Yvette, Bonnie, you’re back!” someone eximed.


    Yvette responded with a simple hum. Her cold demeanor was nothing new to her ssmates, and they were used to it. If Yvette suddenly started talking more, they’d probably think something was really off.


    Bonnie, as the ss representative, was quite popr with everyone.


    Everyone started to exin what was going on to Bonnie. Apparently, Ryan had offered to treat the whole ss to a meal at go too.


    Sky Nimbus. As soon as Bonnie found out, she immediately asked Yvette if she wanted to the whole ss to a meal at


    Yvette shook her head at first but eventually gave in to Bonnie’s persistent persuasion.


    Behind them. Ryan paused in the middle of flipping through his book when he overheard Yvette agreeing toe. He adjusted his sses, then quietly returned to reading.


    That afternoon, the physics department’s students went back to their dorms early after ss to get ready. The girls put on makeup: the guys styled their hair. Everyone was taking this dinner very seriously.


    In their department, there wasn’t much room for entertainment. It was either writing papers or conducting experiments, day in and day out. It was nothing but data. So when a chance like this came up, it was hard to pass. Furthermore, it was Sky Nimbus that they were going.


    Everyone was excited and eager to rx and enjoy themselves, and there was good reason for their enthusiasm.


    Sky Nimbus was thergest club in Seacrity that offered dining, leisure, and entertainment elements. The annual membership fee alone was at least 660 thousand dors, taking it a symbol of prestige and status by having a membership


    there.


    Being just a bunch of broke students, none of them had ever set foot in such a ce.


    If it weren’t for Ryan, some of them might never have had the chance to dine there in their lifetime. Therefore, most of the students in the physics department put extra care into their preparations for the night


    It was said that the people who dined there were all suited-up, sessful business types. To avoid looking out of ce, the students had agreed that the merk would wear suits, while the women would don cocktail dresses.


    In the dorm room, Bonnie shared the group chat messages with Yvette.


    “No!” Yvette said, pulling the nket over her head, intending to continue her nap.


    Bonnie pouted. Feeling resigned, she went to her wardrobe to find a c**l dress. After all, she wasn’t an effortless beauty like Yverte


    She had observed Yvette closely, noticing that even though she never used skincare, her skin was wless and soft. Fairies didn’t have to deal with mortal problems, she thought and sighed.


    By now, Bonnie was used to feeling defeated. She bet Yvette would still look stunning in a potato sack.
