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

Chapter 661:

“So, what’s the plan? How do we make this work?”

A sly grin appeared on Natalie’s lips. She motioned for Nina to come closer, and Nina leaned in without hesitation.

Elsewhere, Daniela wrapped up her work and prepared to leave. Cedric remained at his desk, lost in his own world.noveldrama

It had been a week since Daniela’s conversation with Cedric about making a decision. He still hadn’t responded, and their interactions had become scarce. He continued to monitor her meals three times a day, but once she finished eating, he would walk away without uttering a single word.

The Harper family villa had long since lost its appeal for him. Now, he seemed settled in the lounge at Elite Lux, as if planning to make it his long-term base.

Daniela closed her laptop, her gaze drifting to Cedric, who sat absorbed in his work.

“Are we going to talk?”

Without lifting his eyes from the screen, Cedric replied, “I’m tied up today. Maybe later.”

Indeed, Cedric’s schedule was packed. His ambition in the corporate world seemed boundless, and rumors swirled about the competitor who had pushed him so hard that there was no room left for retreat.

Phillips Group’s influence was growing swiftly, easing the worries of seasoned employees who had feared that a woman might distract Cedric from his relentless drive.

Sighing, Daniela stood up.

“Alright. Don’t stay up too late, then.” She didn’t know how to approach him.

Though she excelled in business, when it came to personal connections, she felt completely out of her depth. Her heart longed for reconciliation, but Cedric was distant and unyielding. For the moment, she couldn’t find a way through.

Just as she was about to leave, a knock echoed on the door of the CEO’s office.

Nina entered with a bright smile, her voice smooth as she spoke.

“Daniela, Mr. Bennett from Sunny Pharmaceuticals is hoping to have dinner with you to discuss a new round of cooperation.” The name Mr. Bennett referred to none other than Alexander.

Lately, Alexander had made waves in the pharmaceutical industry, his sudden financial surge raising more than a few eyebrows.

“I don’t see the need for dinner. Tell them to come to my office tomorrow,” Daniela responded without a flicker of hesitation.

Nina maintained her cheerful expression, adding, “Understood, but he made it clear that this is a straightforward business collaboration. He hopes you won’t let past issues cloud the bigger picture. If it’s possible, he’d prefer a more informal setting.”

Nina understood Daniela’s stance well. Business and personal matters never mixed in Daniela’s world.

Nina continued, “Also, Misael Wayne will be attending. He’s highly influential, and with his presence, they’re confident the agreement can be wrapped up smoothly over dinner.” Misael had long-standing business ties with Daniela. Recognizing his importance, Daniela knew she would have to honor his position.

Just as she was about to give her consent, Cedric, who had been absorbed in his work, slowly raised his gaze.

“Weren’t you going to talk to me?”
