Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 33

The moment Everard’s gaze met his, Calvert, stiff as a board, handed him the phone “Boss, I just remembered, our shop hasn’t restocked in two weeks. I go check it out?

Latham blinked in surprise. “Did she?”

Zack coughed, unable to resist adding, “Yuna said she’s a gold–digger. After entering the room, Cordelia started bossing her around and even upgraded her room before sending Yuna packing. These days, if kids have money, they only seek pleasure. I’ve never seen her in any competition before. How could she do well?‘
