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

Chapter 884:

Once more, Cedric noticed Shadow’s gaze drifting towards Daniela.

Cedric positioned himself to obstruct her view.

With a slight smirk, Shadow said, “Relax, I was merely appreciating your wife’s beauty. Nothing more. Our boss will meet with you whenever she decides.” With those words, Shadow gestured with her hand and exited the office.

As she walked past Daniela, Shadow crisply announced, “I’m heading out.”

Cedric and Rex watched as Shadow stepped into the stairwell and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Rex turned from the now-empty stairwell to where Daniela lay asleep on the sofa. He quietly said to Cedric, “Cedric, why is your wife still sleeping at this hour?”

They came and went, and yet she remained undisturbed.

Rex wondered if his boss had married a lazy woman. She was undeniably attractive, though her apparent lethargy was less appealing.

“Hmm,” Cedric responded, gazing at Daniela with fondness. “She just went for a quick walk downstairs, and it wore her out.”

Rex offered a strained smile. “Tired from just a brief walk? On the other hand, Clarinda had just been involved in a significant altercation.”

“Alright, Cedric. I need to get going.”

Before leaving, Rex took another look at Daniela. Despite himself, he felt a strange resemblance between Daniela’s figure and Clarinda’s.

It had to be his imagination. After all, Daniela had become fatigued merely from a brief walk downstairs.

As Rex was on his way out, something caught his eye. He spotted Daniela’s hair ribbon just as the elevator doors were beginning to close.

“Cedric!” Rex hastily pressed the button to reopen the elevator doors. “Your wife…”

Could she actually be the leader of Cealmaur? The thought flickered through his mind, but Rex quickly shook it off. How could that be possible? The woman who led Cealmaur was inconceivable as Cedric’s wife. It was too far-fetched for him to believe.

Rex scratched his head, entered the elevator, and departed.

Three days later, Joyce visited Phillips Group to meet with Daniela about a potential collaboration. It was her first time visiting Cedric’s office.

Her heart raced with excitement, but she maintained a calm demeanor. “Daniela, I’ve brought the contract. Please sign it.”

Daniela declined.

Joyce’s expression darkened. “What do you mean? Are you turning down easy money? Daniela, what’s holding you back?”

Daniela wasn’t scared of anything. She simply didn’t have the time recently.

Joyce tightened her lips and turned to Cedric. “What about you? Don’t miss this golden opportunity.”

Cedric also showed no interest. For him, nothing was more crucial right now than their plans to have a baby.

Visibly annoyed, Joyce scowled. As she walked out, she said sharply, “Turning down easy money? I wonder how long you can maintain this pretense of nobility.”

Joyce stormed down to the parking lot.

Once inside the car, she fixed a cold stare on Alexander, who occupied the passenger seat. “Didn’t you claim that the so-called bounty order would ensure my desires were fulfilled? I just visited them, and Cedric is unharmed.”
