Chapter 12 (1/2)
“Tsk! Selina, that fox…”
Eliza’s face was boiling with frustration as she bit her lip The stalemate between Selina and her had turned completely to Selina’s favour because of the perfume she obtained from who-knohere She was heartbroken by the fact that Philip was so easily tempted by aSelina seduce Philip like a fox wrapping her tail around itsSelina in an attempt to find out the source of the perfume, so Eliza had to continue the battle alone Sadly she couldn’t think of a method to turn the tides once more
“Huhuhu You seem to be in a dilemma”
“Hm?”
Eliza was surprised by the sudden voice behind her She turned, only to see Isaac’s face A hint of disgust could be seen in Eliza’s eyes
“What is it?”
“You don’t have to be so tense”
“H tense I’m just irritated by the fact that I have to talk to you”
Isaac felt his temper flare at Eliza’s blunt insult but he reht’
“I had a proposal to help you in your fight for your love, but if you refuse then…”
Eliza called out to Isaac, who began to turn around as he stopped finishi+ng his sentence He may not have been trustworthy, but she was in no position to refuse help
“Wait! What do you mean by that?”
‘She took the bait!’
Isaac continued speaking nonchalantly, trying his best to hide his grin
“It’s nothing I just got the urge to help you when I saw you in such distress Of course, I will ask for so her options It was clear that she was conflicted on whether to trust Isaac or not
“Fine! Let’s hear you out first”
“Huhu, you are well aware that Selina has come one step closer to victory thanks to the perfume, don’t you?”
The moment Isaac rit her teeth An act so ferocious that even Isaac flinched and backed off
“Aheainst Selina’s perfued, and soon, she nodded as if she understood everything
“To think I couldn’t think of such a siave that Selina her perfu ’s Whisper to shame”
‘It’s a problem that everyone’s so sed to deduce he was the ht be able to run the business with this new idea, but these smarty-pants could attempt to steal his business at a ht as he thought to be ood What’s i first Since Lady Selina used the perfu a si the trend You must approach this from a new direction”
“What would that be?”
Isaac s, by any chance?”
The chefs who run the student cafeteria were cooking instructors hired to teach the students Due to the restriction in the Campus where only students and instructors are allowed in the Ca and filled the instructor spots with the h they were instructors in name, all they did was prepare thethe rules, but if they didn’t do this, everyone in the Ca and aard meals made by the students themselves
A sweet and delicious aroma filled the student cafeteria’s kitchen, which had been reserved thanks to the efforts from Mazelan
“Huh, I must say it’s unexpected”
Isaac stated his surprise as Eliza brought the final products to hiet their hands dirty? Isaac ate one of the cookies to find out what it tastes like
It was crispy on the outside, but the inside had the perfect softness to it The small nuts sprinkled within the well-baked cookie enriched the flavour to a new level
“M cookies with my mother has been my hobby ever since I was a child”
Eliza proudly smiled as she watched the cookies on the table, but Isaac shook his head and spoke the cold truth
“But it’s a failure”
“What! What could possibly be wrong withwith them”
“Obviously! Even the faed me for the recipe”
“That’s the problem It’s too delicious”
“Huh?”
“A noble lady baked some cookies, but the cookies taste like they were made from a famous bakery Would the people truly believe that you baked it yourself?”
It was infuriating, but she had to ad that simply comes out when you order the chefs Even Eliza would have known nothing about cooking if it weren’t for heris the person ill eat your cookies!”
“…?”
“Think about it A wo a man to eat so ‘I have feelings for you!’ But those cookies taste like they have been made by a professional! Then it’s a total failure He will never believe that you reean his speech with a passion
“Now, think of this! You approach the man with a hint of eive hily wrapped, and ask him to eat the handmade cookies The man will seem hesitant in appearance, but his heart will be taken over with happiness”
“Oh!”
“But there’s a key! The key is clumsiness and passion”
“Cluht! Which do you think leaves a stronger i the cookies with perfectly fine hands or with hands that has cuts and wrapped in bandages?”
“Obviously the…”
“Yes! The cookies that had been arner more interest The man will clearly notice the injured hands and will ask you why You then hide the hands in shame and try to avoid the question But even the slowest of the idiots will figure out that the injuries happened whilethe cookies Then the one such lengths to give him those cookies!”
“Ohoh!”
“The taste is not i and is edible, it will be fine This plan shouldn’t be done in a single day! Twice, thrice you will cook and the taste will get better each time! Then, the man will have no choice but to feel the love in the cookies That this girl is putting her heart in her cooking to improve the taste just for hi emboldened by Eliza’s positive reactions, Isaac preached to Eliza like a culthis followers
“Now! Are you ready to win over the love of your life!”
“Yes!”
“Are you prepared to injure your hand no matter what to win your love!”
“Yes!”
“Love does not coht for! Are you ready to give Selina your revenge?”
“Yes!”
“Then ain”
“Yes chef!”
Eliza was so captivated by the speech that she forgot that she started to call his soon turned into her
Isaac conte how he ended up in a situation of giving dating advice for a high school romance But it was fun nonetheless
At the end of the day, Isaac’s plan was a success Philip fell for Eliza’s cookies of love, and all Selina could do atch in anger as her love was taken away, for she had nothing to retaliate with
And unlike Selina, Eliza boasted to everyone who both provided the perfume for Selina and advices for Eliza Thanks to Eliza’s advertisement, Isaac’s business started to take off
“You want me for your business?”
Gonzales couldn’t hide his confusion These were the first things Isaac said to hi
“Sigh, sorry to disappoint you, but the Campus is strict with its co you this because you don’t see that perfume for you because it was hard to reject you, but it was very dangerous Do you think nobody tried to bring goods froh price? If you’re caught, you are punished on the spot without a court hearing”
“I didn’t know the punish you to stop with the pointless schemes”
“But do those rules apply when an outsider, a man who is not a part of the Caht?”
“H trade between students?”
“Do they?”
“They do Trading goods for ed He couldn’t help but think Isaac wasa fool of him
“I am both a student and not at the same time Since I am not enrolled in any of the schools, they can’t apply any rules onabout the bullying as well
Gonzales ell aware of the beatings Isaac’s regular beatings He was feeling quite sorry for hi he could do for him

“Hm?”
“I sold them all already”
“In just two days?”
Gonzales’ eyes opened wide frooods, but the a that could sell out in a mere two days
