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

Chapter 1139:

“Has something happened to Cedric?” Daniela asked, her expression concerned.

Shadow stood before her, dressed in black, her pale face contrasting starkly with the sunlight streaming in, looking like a vampire.

“Recently, there have been frequent unfamiliar visitors at Phillips Group. I believe they are here for Cedric. They appear to be assassins from Oiscoll, but they haven’t made their move yet. With Hamilton’s five sons arriving in Olisvine soon, Cedric’s safety could be compromised. I anticipate they might make a move against him shortly.”

Daniela remained silent for a brief moment before responding, “Understood. I’ll take personal responsibility for Cedric’s protection.”

After a pause, Shadow continued, “Is Hamilton aware that Cedric is his son? If he doesn’t know, informing him might secure Cedric’s inheritance rights as the eldest son and ensure his protection from Hamilton.”

Daniela’s expression was neutral. “Whether or not Cedric acknowledges Hamilton is up to him. My priority is to ensure Cedric feels no pressure in deciding his familial relations. If he chooses to accept his father, so be it; if not, then he won’t.”

She was steadfast in her support for Cedric.

Shadow raised an eyebrow. “I had thought you would not mind his business anymore.”

Daniela looked up at Shadow.noveldrama

Shadow let out a chuckle. “Haven’t you lost your memories? Maybe it’s time to have a new boyfriend.”

Daniela gave a slight smirk. “Thank you, but no.”

Shadow left as silently as she had arrived.

Cedric, standing in his office and looking down, was jolted from his thoughts by the sudden ring of his phone.

“Daniela? What’s up?”

After hearing what Daniela had to say, he repeated, “You want me to work in your office? Unfortunately, that’s not possible right now. I’m currently engaged in a significant deal with Nikolas McCoy from Oiscoll.”

As soon as he said that, Daniela remained silent.

“Is there a problem?” Cedric asked.

“No, everything’s fine. He’s quite the skilled businessman. Go ahead and have your secretary prepare a temporary workspace for me in your office then.”

Cedric expressed his confusion. “Are you planning to work in my office? You’ve been extremely busy with Elite Lux lately. If you come now, we’ll need to shuffle a lot of paperwork. Maybe it’s best if you wait until this busy period is over, and then I can set up space for you.”

Daniela responded indifferently, “Either you agree, or we can forget the whole arrangement.”

After a moment, Cedric agreed. “Okay. I’ll come over and help set things up.”

Cedric then went to Elite Lux and later returned to Phillips Group carrying only Daniela’s laptop.

“Is that all you brought? Just a laptop?” he asked.

In the past, Cedric frequently visited Elite Lux, and Daniela would occasionally come to Phillips Group, though her visits were brief.
