Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Cordelia couldn’t fathom why the whole world seemed to be making such a fuss over Batra’s Conjecture. To her, it was just another problem solved, no big deal.

The dean was livid. “What do you mean? Superiority College has offered you a scholarship based on your performance in the National League. There has to be a reason for that!” He was at his wit’s end.

Sure, a scholarship was supposed to be a good thing. It brought some prestige to Greenmeadow International School. But who could have predicted such a commotion? Superiority College, steeped in tradition and academic excellence, wasn’t easily ruffled. Yet, here they were, with journalists at their gates and threats of exposure.

Once the dean was gone, Latham resumed his place at the podium as if nothing had happened. “What are you all staring at? Do you not realize we’re only eight months away from the SATS?
