Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

“Lia…”

Chapter 151

Cordera finished answering the question and turned to her friend with a puzzled look, “What’s up?

Merry, struck dumb, handed her phone over. The moment Cordelia caught sight of the poem on the screen, her brow furrowed in concem.

It was only today that Cordelia had ventured into the world of social media, and she was quickly learning how easy it was for people to launch verbal attacks from behind their screens, without fear of legal repercussions,

“Watching the quiz whiz was cool, but Warren’s comment got me thinking. It does seem a bit like showboating. maybe even a bit attention–seeking.”

“As a parent, I really think kids should just focus on their studies. Trying to make money streaming is not really what a senior in high school should be doing.”

These people had no clue about Merry’s real situation, yet there they were, dishing out accusations and judgments under the guise of concern. How ridiculous!

A spark of anger lit within Cordelia, She quickly typed a response on Merry’s phone, posted it, and handed the phone back.

Merry, still in a daze, watched as Cordelia stood up, packed her papers and pen into her backpack, and said, “Goodbye.”

Merry was confused.

She watched, rather cluelessly, as Cordelia’s cool figure disappeared through the door. Coming back to her senses, Merry saw the live chat exploding with messages.

“Quiz Queen is so cool.”

“I’ve always wanted to put Warren in his place, but I’m not as eloquent. Watching you take him down was so satisfying.”

This girl is a jack of all trades. I’m going to be her follower.”

Confused, Merry asked, “What just happened?”

The chat roared with laughter, urging her to check the tweet Cordelia had just posted.

As she had been live streaming the entire time, though the camera hadn’t been pointed at Cordelia’s face, their interaction was visible to all her viewers. So, when Cordelia took Merry’s phone to tweet, everyone was in on it.
