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?

With that, he bolted out the door

Everard faltered his expression momentarily when he read the message, a flicker of surprise crossing his deep eyes. But he quickly regained his composure, tapping his fingers on the desk out of habit. His stern features softened. After a moment, he let out a low chuckle

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?‘
