Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 214

Daisy's voice filled the room the moment she walked through the door, catching the attention of a new guy who had just entered. He paused in his tracks, his gaze landing on her.

Maybe it was his habit of pulling all-nighters, but the dark circles under his eyes were pronounced, giving him a perpetually sleep-deprived appearance.

"Hey, Zack, what's the hold-up?" one of his dorm mates nudged him from behind, breaking his trance.

Zack adjusted his thick-rimmed glasses and replied, "Thought I heard someone call my name just now."

"Who? Dreaming much? Desperate for a girlfriend, are you?"

"Shut up, man!"

Keen frowned in thought. So, was this guy a fake?
