She embodied sensuality and undeniable charm that no man or woman could deny. Whether they were upright or bent, everyone's gaze was pulled to her. Her smile, frown, and every slight movement she made were enough to affect one’s mentality for the whole day. She was the charmer who was appointed and recognized by everyone in the school, whether they were teachers or students. She was that popular. In this charmer's world, there was no such thing as love. Love was a disease that perverted people's minds and led them astray, and she didn't want to live in such a world. But everything changed when he unexpectedly marched into her life, surprising her. Forcing her to break down the barriers she had up for more than two decades. He was the only one who was present. And he wasn't afraid to take what he wanted since he had the means. For him, being in love was a waste of time, and being faithful to one person was not his strong suit. Why bother investing in a single tree when he could own the entire forest? And when he saw her, his life was turned upside down. For him, it was love at first sight. He disliked it at first but eventually came to respect and like it. This sensation was novel to him and seemed unreal. He was completely in love with her, but her defenses were far too high and strong for him to break through. Will this prince charming and playboy from another school be able to captivate and seduce the school charmer? Will she be able to tear down the barriers she had built to allow him entry into her world, or will she continue to keep him at a distance?
That very moment, after she was done looking at the list, Darica called the dean without any delay.
She didn't care about how the woman would react or how she would scold her behind her back, since she wasn't daring to do so in person. However, business was business, and unless she wanted to go back on her words, the dean would still have to pick up her phone.
After a few rings, the other picked up the phone. And upon hearing her grumbling, Darica felt like rejoicing.
[What do you want?]
"A happy New Year to you too, madam!" Darica sarcastically said.
[You … just get to the point. I have things to do!]
She could hear the woman's frustration on the other side.
"Fine, let us not make things difficult for each other. I have a list of good seedlings with me. Should I send it?"
[You …. How many are they?] after hesitating, the dean asked.
"Not that many. I have fifty-five."
[That's a huge number!] The dean freaked out.
