Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 209

Meanwhile, Merry woke up in Bland's apartment, feeling like she had been handed a golden ticket. Sleeping in her idol's place had her too excited to catch much sleep, and now she found herself waking up way past 10 a.m. She buried her face into the pillow, not ready to start the day just yet.

Even though the sheets had been changed, the room still carried the unique scent of her idol. Merry inhaled deeply, reminiscing about the previous night...

Riding back with Floyd, the anticipation of staying at her idol's house had her buzzing with excitement. Thankfully, Floyd kept the conversation going, which helped distract her a bit.

What were they talking about again?

Oh, right. Floyd had asked about Yates' life in Greenmeadow over the years.

Merry had known Yates since they were kids but only really got to know him in high school. Back in middle school, she only knew he went through a rough patch, seeming a bit lost and down.

Thinking back, it felt like Floyd was probing, trying to dig into Yates' past.

Out of curiosity, Merry had asked, "Yates is an amazing quarterback, why don't you recruit him for the team?"

Floyd's expression darkened a bit as he kept his eyes on the road, then let out a self-deprecating chuckle, "Guess I don't measure up anymore." Merry wanted to press further, but seeing his troubled look, she hesitated. Still, she ventured, "You're pretty lucky, you know. After that crash, everyone was affected one way or another, but you walked away without a scratch. The Eagles would've been history without you."

Floyd didn't respond.

As Merry was about to change the subject, they arrived at Bland's place.
