Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 246

In the chaotic whirl of the eSports world, Lia found herself the youngest of the bunch. The rest of the team, seasoned veterans of countless digital battles, had never encountered a teammate who had to dart back to exams midway through a season.

Karl broke the silence with a light tone, "Hey, don't sweat it, Lia. We're in the thick of gaming season, that's the only reason you're behind. Once we clinch the championship, you can hit the books again. Worst comes to worst, we'll get you a tutor to brush up, and you'll ace those exams!"

Cordelia accepted a slice of cake and settled into the couch, taking a bite before responding, "...But the perfect score is three hundred."

Karl, sitting across from her, chuckled, "Then aim for two fifty, no sweat!"

Waller and Clay exchanged bewildered glances before shooting Karl a look that said, 'Really? A perfect score is three hundred, and you think two fifty is doable? And doesn't that sound a tad insulting?'

Realizing his blunder, Karl hastily corrected, "What I meant was, scoring a hundred and fifty would be pretty impressive!"

Cordelia had recently come to the realization that it wasn't fair to hold others to her own high standards. In her mind, scoring a hundred and fifty on the math test was indeed an achievement, so she nodded, "Yeah, I think so too."

Karl blinked in confusion. Back when he was in school, even with a hundred as the perfect score in each subject, he managed to scrape by with eighties. Lia's casual dismissal of a hundred and fifty baffled him.

Quickly, he lowered the bar again, "Actually, hitting a hundred would be great!"

Cordelia's reply was lukewarm, "... That's a bit low."

Karl, trying to save face, laughed along, "Yeah, that would be disappointing."
