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

Chapter 953:

Mutual understanding passed between the PR manager and the tech staff with a series of knowing nods.

Cedric, overhearing the conversation from a short distance, interjected with a hint of amusement, “Hey, the company hasn’t sunk just yet.”

They all turned to Cedric, their laughter tinged with embarrassment.

Cedric, peeling an orange, let the silence linger briefly before adding, “If it really comes to it, I might also seek out a role at Elite Lux. I wonder if my wife would consider hiring me as her personal assistant.”

The PR manager and the tech team were utterly dumbstruck. After such a lurid scandal, how could he even dream of becoming her personal assistant?

The PR manager eyed Daniela warily before turning to Cedric, his voice barely above a whisper. “Isn’t your wife upset?”

The tech staff added, “The clarity of that footage was startling. Surely, she must be livid after viewing it, no?”

A crafty smirk curled Cedric’s lips as he leaned in, a twinkle of mischief in his eye. “Oh, she’s well aware that the man in that video isn’t me.”

He even wanted to boast about his performance in bed. “I’d do a far better job than the guy in the video.”

He recalled the day spent with Ryan at the hospital, a solid alibi. Daniela, with her keen eye, would have instantly noticed the man in the video wasn’t him.

There was simply no need for explanations—words were unnecessary.noveldrama

Such was their unspoken, profound connection.

Cedric crossed his arms, reclined further into the sofa, and flashed a grin. “Such understanding comes only with the bonds of marriage.”

The others absorbed Cedric’s unwavering calm, their expressions mingling shock with a touch of envy.

The tech staff asked, “You’re truly not perturbed in the slightest? People online are ruthlessly tearing you apart.”

“You wouldn’t grasp it unless you were married,” Cedric responded.

As everyone mulled over his repeated phrase, Cedric added, “Once you’re married, you’ll understand that even if the entire world turns against you, your partner will always be your steadfast ally.”

A hush fell over the group, a mixture of surprise and slight annoyance at his overt romanticism.

Unlike the strained mood hanging over the Harper family’s villa, the eight members of the commerce association were in high spirits, clinking champagne glasses deep into the night.

Bruno clucked his tongue, a smirk playing on his lips. “The one who knows you best is often the one who strikes the hardest. Alexander’s move was truly cruel, targeting…”

Cedric struck right at Daniela’s greatest weakness! Daniela’s definitely too drained to focus on our strategies now.”

Huey chimed in, “Exactly. My company’s new game is finally picking up steam!”

Farley sighed, his forehead creasing. “I was petrified, thinking my business was on the brink of collapse!”

Amidst the discussions, Winslow stood by, his silence heavy, absorbing every word.

Hackett let out a low chuckle. “Like I’ve always said, despite Daniela’s remarkable skills, she remains merely human. A minor hurdle, and she crumbles!”

Tripp, nodding along with a knowing smile, responded to Hackett, “This time, even Cedric’s formidable efforts won’t change the outcome. Now that we’ve handled Cedric, what’s our timeline for dealing with Daniela?”
