Over the phone.
"Dr. Paige Adler, on behalf of the MacArthur Foundation, I'm informing you that you have received the 2000 MacArthur Genius Grant. The awards ceremony will be held at the Chicago headquarters one month from now..."
The staffer froze for a moment when Adam said that Dr. Paige Adler was right beside him.
But he quickly recovered, accepted the perfectly reasonable situation and suggestion, and relayed the news of the award to Paige after she took the phone.
After hanging up, the staffer couldn't help letting out a judgmental curse. "Damn rich people!"
He had seen Paige's photo.
Compared to Paige's beauty and talent, Adam's matching looks and talent were completely ignored by him.
In his eyes, Adam was nothing more than a billionaire.
And a billionaire much older than Paige, using his wealth to possess this Gifted Beautiful Young Scientist.

Hateful!
Enviable!
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't use wealth to pressure people. He would surely use his sincerity and humor to have a passionate romance with this Gifted Beautiful Young Scientist...
Adam and the others didn't care in the slightest about the staffer's wishful thinking.
Of everyone who had seen Paige, nine out of ten would think that way.
Adam had already turned his attention to the call he was making to Sheldon.
"You want to tease Sheldon?"

"Teasing Sheldon never gets old. Watch me."

"Hi, Sheldon."
"Adam~"

By now, he knew all about Adam's twisted sense of humor. Every so often, Adam wanted to tease him.
Just like the last time with Flash Birdman Sheldon. That had truly turned his world upside down.
Even now,
