Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

After telling Frankie her score, Cordelia texted Mr. AllRound, I scored 298‘ 

Mr. AllRound replied almost instantly, Awesome.” 

A small smile crept onto Cordelia’s lips

Ever since he scores went public, her classmates swarmed her with compliments and genuine wellwishes, each praise as varied as the next. But Cordelia remained indifferent to it all. Yet, a simple awesome from Mr. AliRound sparked a flicker of joy in her heart

If the top dog thought she was awesome, she probably was

Later, in the Midnight Scent, after responding to Cordelia’s text, Everard opened up the Math Forum. He intended to browse through the praises for young prodigies but stumbled upon a post instead. My ship is sailing! Serving up sweetness online, Keen and Cordelia tied for first place with an outofthisworld score of 298.” 

Comments flooded in, everyone binging on the sweetness. There were even fanfic snippets of their saccharine moments – 

[Cordelia and Keen found themselves frequently debating one peculiar future concern: whose surname would their future children use? That’s why they put a bet before their exams: the winner’s surname would be passed down

Envious of Cordelia’s beauty, someone manipulated events to ensure she entered the exam hall a halfhour 

late

Tears welled up in Cordelia’s eyes in frustration and disappointment. She thought to herself, Pity, now our future kids are going to carry Keen’s last name!After the first test, a regretful Keen approached her, trying to placate her, Sweetheart, I can give you a halfhour head start in the second test, okay? Just stop crying now.” 

When the results were released, a surprising turn of events: both of them ranked first with equal scores! So 

they made an agreement; they would have two children, one carrying the father surname and the other, the 

mother’s

Later, when asked why they didn’t score full marks, Keen sighed saying, If I didn’t let her beat me by two points, our child carrying my surname would’ve made her cry. What could I have done?” 

Cordelia added, If our child carried my surname, it would be a blow to his ego. So, I decided to go easy on him and let him ahead by two points.

Moreover, the fanfic snippet scored over a thousand likes

The top comment, shockingly, came from Keen Himself, See you at the Mathematics Olympiad.” 

Below his comment was a chorus of screams, Ahhh, it’s confirmed! I’m crying over the sweetness of their love!Everard, bemused by the intensity of the fandom, his eyes glinting with amusement, muttered, Kids these days, huh?” 

Keen? He remembered this little boy

Two minutes later, the post vanished into thin air

Five minutes later, a new post appeared in the forum, Genius Cordelia herself said she’d die without her boyfriend and her heart aches without him.” 

He gave the post a like and then looked up at Calvert, Buy two thousand more.” 

Calvert was at a loss for words

Who was it that said they wouldn’t stoop to a kid’s level

After the third period

Cordelia checked her phone and noticed a new message

Mr. AllRound said, I think you can do better

Because of the two points she lost

The big fish always knew best

Cordelia straightened up, replying with all seriousness, Til work harder Next Mathematics Olympiad, fin going for a perfect score.” 

The Mathematics Olympiad, a fierce national competition where ranking in the top sixty could land you a spot at either Superiority College or Top Crest Academy, with a chance to join the national team and compete internationally

It had been years since their country took home a gold medal internationally

Suddenly, Cordelia felt a renewed hunger for knowledge. She set aside her phone, grabbed her math problems, and dug in

The quest for knowledge never ended

Merry, sitting in front of her, was about to share some juicy gossip with Cordelia but stopped, seeing the studious girl engrossed in problemsolving

Merry couldn’t bring herself to interrupt and instead took a photo of Cordelia at work, posting it to the Flame Union group chat, Lia’s been on fire since she got first. Instead of slacking, she’s doubling down. Honestly, as her desk mate, I feel the pressure. Somehow, the kid in me who never liked studying is itching to hit the books.Flame No. 1 said, Her picture makes this video game feel a whole lot less fun

Flame No. 2 added, Her picture makes this fried chicken taste a whole lot less delicious.‘ 

In class 8

After posting, Flame No. 1 turned around to share the group’s collective madness with Yates, the usual backrow snoozer. But to his shock, Yates was buried in a book

Flame No. 1 was stunned, Yates?” 

Yates, irked, glanced up, running a hand through his fiery hair, Damn! This problem’s a beast. You got any clue?” 

Flame No. 1 was at a loss for words

Yates tossed the book aside, his brow furrowed, Forget it. If I can’t crack it, you’ve got no chance. Guess I’ll ask Lia after school.” 

Back in the Math Forums, alongside the fangirling posts, an unexpected thread caught fire in the afternoon

StarJuli said, Funny how some think they’re all that after acing a test. Today, someone actually asked the teacher if Superiority College or Top Crest Academy had called to offer her a scholarship. Sure, this is the National League, but it’s still just a statelevel contest. Not even Keen asked such an arrogant question. Why should Superiority College or Top Crest Academy make an exception for Cordelia?” 

Beneath, the thread quickly filled with bitter comments

Cordelia comes from the countryside. It is normal to don’t understand the rules. After all, not everyone can take the test first?” 

Cordelia is so selfaware? Although I think she will get good grades on the Mathematics Olympiad, she is so arrogant now and I don’t like her.” 

Be lowkey, Cordelia! The ardent embarrassment from Keen.”
