Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1000:

At that moment, a sinister thought slithered into Hackett’s mind, stubborn and unshakeable. “Huey, why not gather everyone for a meeting?”

Minutes later, the group had assembled, each member’s face shadowed by anxiety. Positioned at the head of the table, Hackett projected a semblance of control, as though he still wielded his former clout as president of the association. Clearing his throat, he began, “I have a proposition. It’s still unpolished, yet I think it’s worth discussing.”noveldrama

The remaining six members instantly snapped to attention at his words, their eyes sparking with a flicker of tentative hope.

Huey, barely able to contain his eagerness, exclaimed, “It’s irrelevant if it’s still unpolished. Out with it already! Are you really going to torture me with this unbearable suspense?”

Hackett clenched his jaw, his hesitation artfully masked by a pretense of caution. “Well, the plan is somewhat precarious. I fear it may spiral out of control.”

Huey threw his hands up in exasperation, his voice laced with frustration. “Seriously, Hackett! Has Daniela intimidated you to such an extent that you’ve completely lost your daring spirit? This isn’t like you at all.”

Bruno glared at Hackett. “Enough with the evasions. We need to hear it now.”

Farley nodded. “Come on, let’s get to it.”

Hackett’s face twisted with internal conflict as he reluctantly began, “Alright, here’s the raw truth. Elite Lux is swiftly ascending. It’s painfully obvious that we stand no chance in a direct confrontation. If this trend continues, our downfall is inevitable. Huey’s wild idea of jumping from the building… well, that sparked a rather daring thought in my mind…”

He trailed off dramatically, letting the suspense build, his eyes scanning the room as realization slowly dawned upon each face.

Huey furrowed his brow. “Are you saying we should fake a suicide attempt to create a media frenzy and turn public criticism onto Daniela? Maybe that will force her to show us some mercy.”

Hackett didn’t respond immediately, neither confirming nor denying the suggestion. He sat in silence, deep in thought.

Finally, after a lengthy pause, Hackett spoke. “I was once the president of the association. Normally, I would take responsibility for this. But I need to care for my mother. I can’t take any risks.”

It was clear from his words that he was unwilling to put himself in jeopardy.

As the room filled with uneasy glances, Huey spoke boldly. “Then I’ll do it!” A brief spark of approval flashed in Hackett’s eyes, but he quickly masked it, maintaining a sad demeanor. “Huey, are you certain about this?”

Huey responded with a casual shrug. “Yeah, why not? It’s just about standing on the rooftop of the Elite Lux building, right? No big deal. I’m not actually going to jump. I’ve seen this tactic before. I once delayed paying some workers, and they staged a similar protest to force my hand. Just call the media, get some people to act distressed, buy trending spots, and hire a few internet trolls. Regardless of Elite Lux’s influence, losing public support and customers could bring them down.”

Hackett nodded, then quickly started delegating tasks to the others.
