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

Chapter 1006:

Hackett let out a sharp scoff. “Drop the act, Alexander. We all know you’re not doing this out of responsibility. You’ve got your own motives.”

The room fell silent as every eye turned to Hackett, curiosity and suspicion flickering in their gazes. Hackett’s gaze bore into Alexander, his voice cutting like a blade. “You’re still not over Daniela, are you? It’s obvious. Every move you make is aimed at Cedric, yet whenever there’s a chance to bring Daniela down, you refuse to take it. Let me remind you, Alexander—you’re the president now. Your duty is to this association, not your ex-wife, who has long since moved on!”

Murmurs rippled through the crowd as understanding dawned. As they thought back, patterns began to emerge. Time and again, Alexander had maneuvered around Elite Lux, shielding it from any real damage.

Huey narrowed his eyes, suspicion lacing his words. “Alexander, is that true?”

Marcus shifted uneasily, his expression darkening. “You still have feelings for Daniela, don’t you?”

Bruno frowned, shaking his head. “Come on, Alexander, that’s not like you. You don’t seem the type to cling to the past. Were you the one spending three days with that flight attendant?”

Hackett let out a derisive snort.

Alexander exhaled slowly, reclining further. “Fine, I admit it—I still have feelings for Daniela. The thing with the flight attendant? That was nothing. But don’t twist this—I’m making these decisions for the good of the association.”

Bruno gawked at him in disbelief. “You’re serious? You still have feelings for Daniela? She’s married, Alexander!”

Hackett’s smirk widened, his voice dripping with mockery. “Maybe that’s just his type—married women. First Joyce, now Daniela? Listen to me, Alexander—if you don’t wake up soon, Daniela’s going to be the one who takes you down!”

Alexander’s face stayed unreadable, his voice firm. “Say whatever you want; I’m not changing my stance. I refuse to go along with this plan to stage a jump from the Elite Lux building. And tell me, what’s so…”

“What’s wrong with me having feelings for Daniela?” Alexander asked. “She liked me first. Cedric was the outsider. Besides, if I did reunite with Daniela, she wouldn’t pose any threat to the association. In fact, Elite Lux would fall under my control. It would be no different from having Elite Lux as part of the association. Don’t you think?”

A brief hush settled over the room.

Alexander rose to his feet. “That’s final. I won’t allow any attacks on Elite Lux, not even the smallest one.”

Saying no more, he turned and walked away.noveldrama

His recent cosmetic surgery left him feeling uneasy—his face constantly itched. When he consulted his surgeon online, he was advised to use face masks regularly during the absorption phase of the procedure.

He decided to head home and follow the instructions. To him, his face was his greatest weapon—the key to one day replacing Cedric.

With that, Alexander was gone.

The seven who remained sat in tense silence.
