I Dream-Manipulated My Cold Crush To Win Him, But He Saw Through Me All Along Chapter 09

The next morning, I spotted Miles as soon as I stepped outside the academic building.

He was wearing a simple white shirt, leaning against the flower bed. In his hand, he held a takeout

bag with breakfast pastries and a cup of almond milk.

When he saw me, he crossed the distance in a few long strides and handed me the bag.

“I waited in line for a long time to get this. You looked like you didn’t sleep well last night, so I figured I’d bring you something.”

I took the breakfast and studied his face carefully.

The dark circles under his eyes were noticeably lighter. He looked more relaxed than before.

“How did you sleep last night?” I asked cautiously.

Miles’s lips curved into a beautiful smile.

“Great. Best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Thank you, Naomi.”

He leaned in slightly, closing the gap to less than two feet. A crisp, cool cedar scent wrapped around

me.

Then a jarring voice came from behind.

“Naomi, you sure move fast when you switch targets.”

I whipped around. Grayson was striding toward us, his face dark as thunder.

Beside him walked a pretty girl clutching a DSLR camera.

The comments exploded:

[Here comes the female lead–Lila Reyes! This is about to get good!]

[The male lead is bringing his love interest to mark his territory! Side character, run!]

Grayson stopped in front of me, his gaze flicking between the breakfast in my hands and Miles’s

face.

“So that’s why you stopped replying to my texts. You’re clinging to our campus golden boy now.”

He let out a cold laugh dripping with mockery.

“What, you’re being desperate and clingy again?”
