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!"

They shared a laugh and continued towards the back of the classroom, where the atmosphere was quieter. This was a room filled with top achievers, where everyone naturally kept their voices low to avoid disturbing others.

As they passed by, Keen, who had just finished his lunch and packed away his meal prep box, cast a sidelong glance at Everard.

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