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

Chapter 124:

Taken aback by his sudden entrance and the harshness of his tone, Daniela, still clutching her pen, responded almost reflexively, “Yes.”

The pain in Alexander’s eyes intensified as he fixed his stare on her.

“Daniela! How long are you going to keep this up? Do you really think these cheap tactics will capture my attention?”

Everyone else, including Daniela, was visibly shocked.

“What’s this? Trying out for the role of our office clown?”

However, Alexander seemed oblivious to the light-hearted jab or the others in the room. His stare was fixed intensely on Daniela, his voice sharp and unyielding as he commanded, “Get out, all of you. This is between me and Daniela.”

Before anyone could muster a reply, the elevator dinged open, revealing the CEO of Clayton Renovation. With the multi-billion dollar contract on the verge of being sealed, he was wary of any disruption, especially from Alexander.

Waldo Clayton, the CEO, stepped through the crowd, his expression marked by clear annoyance.

“Mr. Bennett, this is not how we conduct business. The deal is almost done. Do you think it’s appropriate to storm in and interrupt like this? Is professional decorum just a joke to you now?”

Unperturbed, Alexander brushed off Waldo’s hand and moved a step closer to Daniela, his determination undeterred.

“I need to speak with you. Alone.”

Daniela straightened her posture, her eyes calm yet piercing as she spoke to Alexander.

“Mr. Bennett, please remember, you’re at the branch of Elite Lux, not Bennett Group.”

His expression turned grim, the sting of betrayal burning in his glare. However, Daniela let out a soft chuckle.

“Really, Mr. Bennett, gazing at me like that won’t change the situation. I’m all about my career these days—men just aren’t worth the hassle. Nice try, but your looks won’t faze me or get the outcome you’re dreaming of.”

Her teasing tone elicited chuckles from the others. Her tone turned icy as she added, “If there’s something pressing you need to discuss, I would suggest making an appointment through my secretary. We handle sensitive business here, and your presence as an outsider is a bit disconcerting.”

Daniela’s demeanor toward Alexander was meticulously neutral. There was a time when she had been deeply, hopelessly in love with him, chasing him with relentless passion. But those days had faded into the past. She had loved fervently, yet she was no longer hesitant to acknowledge that chapter was closed. Now, she offered him nothing but professional civility.

She even empathized that Alexander might need time to come to terms with her newfound detachment. After all, adjusting to the absence of her once unwavering affection could be jarring for him. But then, Alexander’s expression hardened, his eyes turning frosty. With a curt nod, he stated firmly, “Daniela! If this is how you’re going to carry on, consider this conversation over.

You think I’d ever want you back? Pathetic.

You’ve let me down in every way!”

Alexander shot her a cold glare before turning on his heel and storming out like she wasn’t worth his time.

The room plunged into a profound silence, the air thick with tension.

Several moments later, Daniela blinked, her mind snapping back from the shock. She massaged her temples, let out a deep sigh, and steeled herself to begin the meeting.

Suddenly, the office door banged open with such force that it echoed throughout the space.
