Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

The silence that followed Merry’s outburst was eerie.

Cordelia looked on, completely baffled, wondering what Merry was rambling about.

Even Bland, usually so composed, seemed stunned. His expression was frozen, and the mole under his eye seemed to betray his surprise. After a five–second pause, as Merry started to regret her words, Bland smiled. “Or, you want to help me with that?”

Cordelia was speechless.

Merry’s eyes widened in shock, her mind screaming. “Oh my god! Oh my god, my idol noticed me. My idol spoke to mell” She was flustered and stuttered, “I, I, I can’t help you!”

Cordelia gave up on her, sidestepping into the restroom and leaving the two alone.

Bland eyed Merry. “Not going?”

Merry gazed at him dreamily. “I can hold it!”

She didn’t care about the bathroom! Going to the restroom was nothing compared to staring at her idol,

Bland finally couldn’t keep a straight face, and his lips twitched. “Go on. Don’t hurt yourself holding it in.”

Oblivious to the bizarreness of the conversation, Merry blurted out, “Then, honey, are you going, too?”

Bland nodded. “Yeah.”

Merry’s heart fluttered. “You can do it!”

Bland’s fine features suddenly relaxed into a smile, his charm glowing in the dim light outside the restroom, “Add my contact?”

Merry was stupefied, unable to believe that her idol had just made such a proposall
