Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 228

Cordelia merely shot Queenie a glance before responding with a hint of skepticism, "Do you have any proof of that accusation?"

Instantly, Queenie retorted, "Everyone saw you coming back so late last night! Did you really think you went unnoticed?"

Cordelia, unfazed, asked, "And how many would that 'everyone' be?"

Queenie was taken aback. After all, Cordelia had returned to the dorm well past 2 AM when most students would have been fast asleep. How could anyone have possibly seen her?

Convinced Queenie was just stirring trouble out of thin air, Cordelia dismissed her claims internally.

Queenie, biting her lip in frustration, had been prepared to catch Cordelia red-handed upon her late return, hoping to confront her with undeniable proof of her midnight escapades.

However, she hadn't anticipated Cordelia's late return and, waiting up for her, had inadvertently fallen asleep, missing her chance to catch Cordelia in the act.

And now, it seemed as if Cordelia was playing dumb?

Cordelia had briefly considered the idea of drafting an excuse note. Sneaking out at midnight was indeed out of line, and she was lucky it was her - someone else might not have been as fortunate in such circumstances. Plus, she was confident in her ability to take care of herself, and since no faculty member had caught her, she thought it best to let the matter slide.

With that thought, she lowered her head to focus on her studies, feeling the onset of fatigue. Having only slept for five hours after a late night, she was understandably exhausted by afternoon, eventually succumbing to a brief nap at her desk.

During her nap, she felt a chill, but was soon enveloped in warmth as someone draped a jacket over her shoulders, allowing her to sleep comfortably until 2 PM.

Upon waking, she found Everard looking at her with concern. She was surprised to see him; she had thought he wouldn't be visiting today. Yet, here he was, sitting beside her, his black jacket now warming her.
