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

Chapter 563:

At that moment, another thought crossed Cedric’s mind. Someone else must be pulling the strings behind Katrina, and Daniela had already figured it out. That was why she hadn’t acted yet.

It felt like a high-stakes game, with Daniela slowly cornering her opponent, waiting for them to expose their next move.

Cedric had assumed Daniela would be shaken. Instead, she called the police and sent Lillian to the hospital, her composure unshaken. This only deepened Cedric’s confusion.

Business was Daniela’s arena, but corporate battles couldn’t compare to the raw intensity of real-life threats. So why was she so unshaken?

As they drove back, Cedric couldn’t help but steal a glance at Daniela.

Feeling his eyes on her, Daniela turned to him.

“What’s going on?”

Cedric asked, “Are you scared?”

Confusion flickered across Daniela’s face.

“Scared of what?”

After a brief pause, Cedric pressed on, saying, “The explosion. When the car blew up, didn’t that scare you?” At his question, Daniela’s lips curved into a gentle smile.

“No.”noveldrama

“Not scared? Or is this just something you’ve dealt with before?” Cedric asked bluntly.

Shaking her head, Daniela shrugged nonchalantly.

“Nope. I’m just a businesswoman. I don’t get mixed up in stuff like that. I was just too slow to react. I suppose I’m a bit detached from situations like these.”

Cedric’s gaze lingered on Daniela for a moment before he shifted his focus back to the road.

He had the urge to ask her if there were secrets she hadn’t shared with him, beyond being the CEO of Elite Lux and an accomplished businesswoman.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he realized he hadn’t revealed everything to her either.

It didn’t bother him, though. They had all the time in the world to truly understand one another.

Once Cedric headed for the shower, Daniela made her way downstairs to the living room. Lillian, her gaze flickering toward the stairs, asked, “Aren’t you going to tell him?”

Daniela shook her head.

“I’ll tell him eventually. Not now, though. The situation is still too murky. If I share it with him now, all I’ll do is add to his anxiety. Let’s focus on solving the problem first.”

A look of admiration flashed in Lillian’s eyes as she gazed at Daniela.

“You’ve really evolved, Daniela. There was a time when you said if a man couldn’t handle your identity, he wasn’t worthy of you. Are you worried Cedric will be intimidated by you?”

With a quiet sigh, Daniela replied, “What I fear is not his fear of me, but my inability to protect him.”

Exposing the enemy often meant making hard sacrifices. She had no intention of involving Cedric in the chaos, and she certainly didn’t want him to be hurt in any way.

“Work with Ryan. Grant Phillips Group the airline agency rights. That will keep Cedric busy. By the time a month passes, I’ll have everything in place on my side.” Lillian nodded, acknowledging the plan.
