Summertime Saga Odette

Maria Odette knows how to get everyone’s attention effortlessly. She had a way of dealing with men that was both alluring and dangerous. Develrick is no exception. She was able to entice him despite the fact that he was never interested in women.   Their relationship started with a playful challenge. A dare that was meant for fun and nothing serious. A one-night-stand and a drunken night unexpectedly got them into a relationship.   The night they shared was pleasant enough for them to be crazy for each other. Develrick even considered having a serious relationship with her even though they only met for a night.   However, destiny was really whimsical. It turned out that Maria Odette is one of Develrick’s students at the university. Upon discovering the truth, he started to distance himself because he knew that having any kind of relationship with a student is strictly forbidden. He values his job more than anything, and he wouldn’t let his feelings for her destroy his career. He decided to set up a barrier so he wouldn’t fall for Odette ever again, no matter how much he wanted and desired her.   On the other hand, Odette feels the opposite. The rules always meant nothing to her. She wouldn’t let him forget that he belonged to her. She doesn’t care about anything as long as she could have him, just like how she was able to capture her that night. Odette knows that Develrick is a big challenge, and she is determined to win him over again.   Will Odette be able to break the strong barrier he built for himself?
