Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 108

Calvert, who was sipping his milk at the next table, almost sprayed it out when he heard that remark.

Everard seemed just as taken aback by her question, his eyebrows lifting in surprise, “Why do you ask?”

Cordelia decided to be straightforward, “Yesterday, my classmate said she wanted me to introduce you to her.”

She paused for a moment, swallowing the fact that her friend was richer than her. She didn’t want him to be tempted.

But Everard just chuckled, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. His voice was low and enchanting as he responded, “Sweetie, you think I’m with you for your money?”

For some reason, Cordelia’s heart raced, and she quickly averted her gaze.

After finishing breakfast and holding hands with Everard for a while, Cordelia stood up to head to class. She grabbed her backpack with one hand, put on her baseball cap, and was about to leave when she remembered something. She dug into her backpack for her wallet.

Everard looked at the cash on the table, his expression a mix of emotions. He smiled as he picked up the money and slipped it into his wallet. Seeing Cordelia still watching him, he hesitated before asking uncertainly. Thanks, boss?”

Cordelia looked away, feeling something off about that remark. As she turned to leave, she heard the chair behind her screech. Everard stood and walked over to her.

Cordelia, puzzled, asked, “What are you doing?”

Everard’s hands were in his pockets as he slightly leaned in. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and then he chuckled, “Exercising my rights as your boyfriend.”
