Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 102

Calvert was in a real pickle, trying to decide whether to hand over his phone case or head to the funeral home to pick out a casket, when Everard, said with a hint of favoritism, “Cordelia sure treats me differently.”

Lowering his gaze to the pen in his hand, Everard added, “She’s into her studies, not glued to her phone.”

Calvert, having narrowly escaped disaster, was speechless. He said, “You’re right, boss, you’re one of a kind. Thank goodness you were there last night, otherwise that imposter would’ve gotten away. I thought it was just a simple scam, but it turned out to be a pro.”

Everard cut in coolly. “You’re just too useless.”

Calvert tried again, “The cops said they’ve recovered most of the money. When are we giving it back?”

Hearing this, Everard’s eyes darkened, “No rush.”

Sanderson was at a loss for words.

After messaging Lorna, and thinking about the chilly scene at Midnight Scent, he decided to lend a hand.

At the office, he went straight to the procurement department, dropped the name and address of Midnight Scent, and said, “From now on, let’s get all our office supplies from them.”

With such a big client, those two at Midnight Scent would make a living. But to his surprise, half a day later, the procurement manager came to him, “Mr. Delaney, they won’t sell to us.”

Sanderson was stunned, “Why not?”
