Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 30

Silence held the room hostage for a few heartbeats.

Calvert stiffened his frame as a chill skittered up his spine. Swallowing hard, he dared not meet Everard’s piercing gaze and hurriedly shoved his phone into Everard’s hands, trying to sound official, “Boss, this phone will be yours, okay?”

Calvert was at a loss for words.

Five seconds ticked by before Everard picked up the phone, his voice cool and detached, Then why the hell were you eyeballing my phone?”

Calvert was confused.

Gazing mournfully at his brand–new smartphone he had just got his hands on two days ago, he silently bid it farewell and then took a few steps back without a word.

Watching him retreat, Everard began to type with his slender and pale fingers.

Cordelia had just finished a physics exercise when her phone vibrated.

She slowly lifted her head and glanced at the screen, noting a message from Little Fang.

Boss Wallace asked, ‘What are you doing?”

Cordelia thought it was a silly question. She was a student, what else would she be doing at this hour?

Little Fang seemed sharp enough, so why ask such a dumb question? Still, she patiently replied.

LearnLover answered, ‘In class.”

‘Then you should chat less with others. It distracts from studying.”

Cordelia was perplexed about what “others” refer to.

She responded with a simple reply and submerged herself back into her studies.

After two classes, Cordelia walked towards her classroom, only to notice people gossiping and pointing in her direction. Confused, she arrived back at her classroom to find the back row commandeered by the Flames.

A group of Flames huddled together, their phones in hand, furiously typing and exclaiming.
