Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 245

At Greenmeadow International School, only two students made it to the Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp this year: Hanley and Cordelia. Previously, Cordelia, Everard, and Keen were inseparable. Although Hanley was good at math, he wasn't quite in their league.

He could only watch Cordelia from a distance, grinding through problem sets in hopes of catching up to her. The girl who was once his fiancée now seemed worlds away. But then she dropped out of classes to play esports? What the heck? Hanley felt it was a waste of her talent in math!

Cordelia glanced at him but said nothing. Even at Greenmeadow, it was clear Hanley was overly dramatic. They barely knew each other, yet he couldn't help but meddle.

Without a word, Cordelia entered the exam room. Daisy had saved her a spot, knowing she'd be back today. Handing over her notebook full of recent class notes, she said, "Here you go, genius!"

Cordelia took it, saying, "Thanks." Just as she was about to dive in, Keen's voice came from behind, "Esports fun?"

Turning, Cordelia saw Keen standing there, a slight smile on his lean, somewhat frail figure.

Cordelia nodded, "It's okay."

Keen responded, "Alright then, good luck on the exam. Let's see who gets the top score."

Cordelia replied, "...Sure."

When Mr. Waldron entered with the test papers, he gave Cordelia an approving look before saying, "Today's test includes an extra challenge question. Those who finish early might want to give it a try."
