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

Chapter 564:

“Understood.”

When Daniela entered the bedroom, Cedric was already out of the bathroom.

The hum of the hairdryer filled the silence.

Cedric, still facing away from Daniela, broke the quiet after a long pause.

“I’ve told you before. Everything can be negotiated, but your safety isn’t up for debate.”

It was clear to Daniela that Cedric had sensed something was off.

She wasn’t ready to discuss it yet, so instead, she pressed her soft form against his back, seeking comfort.noveldrama

The room was filled with the sound of their heavy breaths, growing more frantic with each passing moment.

As they reached the climax, Cedric stopped suddenly.

Daniela blinked, confused and flushed.

“What’s wrong?”

Cedric looked at Daniela lying beneath him. She looked like an angel. Her long hair spread out like a waterfall, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“Are you hiding something from me?” Cedric asked, each word sharp as he moved.

Daniela fought back tears from the physical strain. She answered his questions, none too important, but always dodged the ones that mattered.

Cedric stared at her, who was biting her lip, and felt his resolve begin to crumble.

With a sigh, he decided to shift the conversation.

As the night stretched on, Cedric wrapped his arms around Daniela, the weight of sleep tugging at him. Before drifting off, he whispered near her ear, “You know what you’re doing. I’ve already made myself clear.

Your safety always comes first.

You’re playing with fire, and the thought of it, the worry it brings me, it cuts deep.”

The following morning, as Cedric made his way to work, his secretary burst in with enthusiasm, saying, “You won’t believe it! The world’s largest airline wants to form a partnership with us!”

The offer was something they’d dreamed of for years but had been out of reach.

Phillips Group had tried time and again, but obstacles had always stood in their way.

Now, the opportunity had come to them, and there was no denying the excitement it stirred.

The secretary could hardly contain his excitement, almost giddy with the news.

The airline’s reputation was unmatched worldwide, with dominance in the industry that was nearly unrivaled. If Phillips Group secured the partnership, they could rest easy for decades.

With a serene smile, Cedric remained unfazed. The secretary grinned and said, “Congratulations!”

Cedric’s eyes flicked over his phone, his expression a mask of indifference.

“And what did they have to say?”

“Not much, but they did emphasize how much they admire Phillips Group’s reputation. If we’re on board, they want to seal the deal within a month.”

Cedric paused, his thumb stilling on the screen.

“A month?”

“Yeah. That’s what they said. I was a bit taken aback by the timeline, but they insist their company moves quickly and decisively.”

The secretary, confused by Cedric’s lack of enthusiasm, couldn’t help but wonder why he wasn’t more excited. After all, this was a major opportunity.
