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

Chapter 667:

“Of course,” Natalie replied smoothly, her smile widening.

“Someone as accomplished as you would be the perfect match for Daniela. Cedric, on the other hand, is too childish.” No one had ever flattered Alexander like that. His chest swelled with pride, his mood lifting in an instant. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“Cedric really isn’t sensible, is he?”

Daniela entered the office early, only to be met with the sight of Alexander already settled in. Cedric had his workstation in Daniela’s office.

“Are you the one overseeing Sunny Pharmaceuticals?” Daniela asked, cutting straight to the point.

Alexander nodded.

“Yes, these are the evaluation reports and our latest financial statements.”

Daniela skimmed through the papers before asking, “Is Doug the real power behind all this?”noveldrama

For a moment, Alexander was caught off guard. It was true that Doug was the one funding the venture, while Alexander managed everything else, even standing as the company’s legal figurehead.

How had Daniela managed to figure out Doug’s role with just a cursory glance at the documents?

Alexander, confident in his business acumen, was sure that only the sharpest professionals would catch any inconsistencies in the report.

“How did you know?” Alexander blurted out, unable to hide his surprise. The words left him before he could stop them, and regret followed immediately.

“You don’t need to be so taken aback. We simply see things differently,” Daniela replied, her voice even and measured.

“I’ll go over the collaboration plan when I can. For now, you can return and wait for the update.”

Throughout the exchange, Daniela’s professionalism remained unwavering, her expression devoid of any warmth beyond the formality of the conversation. It left a hollow feeling in Alexander, a sting that lingered.

However, he quickly shook it off. The partnership was essential, and there was no room for errors. He understood that regaining a woman’s heart required more than just effort—it demanded a calculated approach.

With a respectful nod, he stood up. His voice gentle, he said to Daniela, “I’ll be on my way, then.”

The intimacy in his tone was obvious.

Cedric, who had been absorbed in his laptop across the room, noticed it and slowly looked up.

Their gazes met, and Alexander asked, “Mr. Phillips, may I have a moment of your time?”

Cedric and Alexander left Daniela’s office and paused at the end of the hallway.

Nina observed the two men from a distance, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully. She turned to Natalie and asked, “Alexander seems to have his act together. Do you think we should consider bringing him onto our side?”

Natalie’s gaze deepened as she pondered for a moment, then said, “Let’s wait and see what unfolds.”

Meanwhile, at the other end of the hallway, Alexander fixed his eyes on Cedric’s handsome features, bathed in the glow of the lights. With a mocking grin, he sneered, “Don’t get too comfortable, Cedric. Just because you’re in a good spot now doesn’t mean you’ve won.”

Cedric gave a dismissive snort.
