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

Chapter 51:noveldrama

Alexander sat quietly, a growing irritation gnawing at him as he listened to the constant stream of praise.

After a moment, he lifted his gaze.

“Amazing? I don’t understand what all the excitement is about.”

Keith arched an eyebrow at Alexander, a mischievous grin creeping onto his face.

“Oh, really? Well, in that case, I guess I’ll go after Daniela.”

For reasons Alexander couldn’t fully explain, his frustration—already bubbling just below the surface—flared up at Keith’s words.

Meanwhile, Daniela glided off the stage, lifting the hem of her gown with effortless elegance. Cedric stepped forward and handed her a bouquet of flowers. His usually stiff demeanor softened, and a faint, almost proud smile tugged at his lips.

“Thank you,” Daniela said with a polite smile, accepting the flowers. She hadn’t played the cello in years, but being back on stage stirred up the same lighthearted joy she had experienced as a child. As she scanned the crowd, her eyes landed on Alexander sitting among them.

Her expression changed in an instant, as if she had just spotted an irritating fly buzzing around her.

Alexander immediately caught her glance and, almost without thinking, straightened up, his chest expanding a little.

However, Daniela’s eyes barely lingered on him, passing over him with icy indifference, as if he were just another face in the crowd.

Alexander’s lips tightened into a thin line.

So, she had become a CEO and now thought she was above him?

As the event came to an end, Daniela stayed behind to chat with the maestros. Meanwhile, the audience began to trickle out of the hall, but many couldn’t help casting lingering glances her way.

Keith gave Alexander’s arm a nudge.

“So, are you going to go say hi?”

Alexander stole a glance at Daniela. She stood with graceful composure, her floor-length gown flowing elegantly. The pearls in her earrings caught the light, shimmering faintly. She appeared breathtaking, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Keith chuckled when he saw Alexander pause.

“I see what’s going on.”

“You’re too proud to make the first move. Back in the day, it was always Daniela running after you, and now you don’t know what to do, huh? Plus, with so many people around, maybe she didn’t even catch sight of you. Otherwise, she would come to you. Everyone knows that she only has eyes for you.”

With a grin, Keith waved his hand excitedly, calling out, “Daniela! Over here!”

As soon as she heard her name, Daniela turned her head toward them. Keith flashed a big smile and pointed at Alexander.

“Daniela, look who’s here—Alexander came to support you tonight.”

Keith’s message was clear—if Alexander wasn’t going to approach Daniela, then she could come to him instead.

But to their surprise, Daniela simply cast them a cold, detached look. Then, she turned back to the person she had been chatting with and resumed her conversation.

Keith opened his mouth to speak again, but before he could, a man stepped in front of Daniela, blocking his view. It was Cedric. His face was stern, and the warning in his eyes made Keith pause.
