"Cozie, are you angry with me?" Cosette kept her eyes on the pool with her arms crossed. After they entered the mansion, Conrad told her he would need to discuss something important with Maxen. Therefore, here she was in the pool area, sitting on one of the lounge chairs while Luke sat on the one beside her. He was sitting on the edge, facing her squarely. A frown was reigning over his face, as she had been silent and barely spoken a word with him. "Cozie..." he trailed off when she returned his gaze.…-

Cosette was mortified throughout the bus ride as she kept hearing whispers criticizing the youngsters nowadays. She wanted to defend all the youth they were stereotyping, but her tongue kept rolling back to her throat. In the end, she kept her head hung low until they reached their destination. Not just her, but Luke and Maxen also kept quiet the entire ride. So, as soon as they left the bus from hell, Maxen cleared his throat. "Your ride is here, right?" he looked around to search for any car that was…

Cosette never thought she would ever regret mentioning anything about Boy's Love. As an avid reader, she had also taken the Dao of the inevitable. Hence, while watching Luke and Maxen, a hidden part of her tingled with excitement and she couldn't help but ship them in her head. The only problem was she didn't intend to voice it out, but she did. Now she was paying for the price. "Ugh..." Cosette wore a horrified expression, looking to her left and then to her right. Maxen and Luke were standing several…

"Max~!" Luke scrunched his nose up as he glanced at Cosette, only to see her jump and rush outside the convenience store. He stayed on the spot, exchanging looks with Maxen, who was standing outside and studying him. 'He's not... her boyfriend, right?' he wondered, watching Cosette stand beside Maxen before he went outside. "What are you doing here?" asked Maxen, which Luke overheard as he was exiting the convenience store. "I told you I want to hang out with you..." "But I won't be off until…

When Cosette told Luke her time was up, he was baffled and thought they would get off the bus. So Cosette had to explain to him she wanted to forfeit her seat to the elderly. She already thought Luke had taken his first bus ride well, so she didn't want to pressure him to give up his seat for another. To her surprise, Luke told her to sit down and gave his seat to the middle-aged woman like a gentleman. Luke, although not pleased with standing throughout the ride, didn't complain. "Do you always give up…

"Bye~" Luke looked at her with a slight surprise when George the driver dropped them off at the bus stop. After having breakfast with the Blacs, Cosette told him he could tag along with her for today's extravaganza. He didn't know what she was up to, but he was already curious. "Why did he drop us off here?" he asked, blinking innocently. "Because we will take the bus." Her answer was quick, sporting an innocent front as well. "I know that, but why?" "What do you mean, why? So it will take us to where…

Ring... ring... ring... Maxen arched a brow as his phone kept vibrating in the back pocket of his pants. Even without seeing who it was, he knew it was Cosette. He ignored it as he closed the convenience store he was working at. It was rather early for him, but it was the orders from his boss, which he found a little strange. Once the padlock was secure, he reached for his phone and gazed at the broken screen. A subtle smile appeared on his face, only to shake his head upon realization. "Have some…

The Quinn Holdings annual party went by successfully. Cosette mostly spent it with the Quinn brothers. Although it was Luke who ranted most of the time, telling her how he had enough of dealing with adults. He said, "he had enough dealing with them." Cosette, as a devoted fan, who simply wanted to support all these characters from the bottom of her heart, played along. It was actually a treat to her to get to spend time with them. Asher barely spoke throughout the night, though. Overall, she had fun…

Since Maynard asked his sons to accompany Cosette, Luke happily took her to the garden. Asher didn't want to come, but between dealing with the adults and watching his foolish brother, the latter was far more entertaining. "Don't you attend the same academy as ours?" Luke inquired, sitting on the bench sandwiched between Cosette and Asher. Cosette shrugged while holding a saucer of biscuits from the event hall. "Not anymore," she answered before munching a cookie. She offered Luke some, and he accepted…

"The young master Quinn is surely promising in every aspect. No wonder CEO and Chairman Quinn were so confident." "They are surely blessed with a good son." "The Quinns have a bright future. I feel very at ease..." Asher kept a formal smile as everyone sang praises about him. It was the Quinn Holdings annual party and like usual, everyone put him on the spot. If he could tell them to stop currying favor to him, he would've done it. However, their family valued affiliation. He had to play by the rules…
