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

Chapter 643:

Daniela noticed Cedric immediately.

As she approached, the sharp scent of alcohol hit her.

“Have you been drinking?” she asked, her eyes flickering toward his car.

There was a driver sitting inside.

Relieved, she exhaled quietly before adding, “Why are you here so early?”

The night before, Ryan had mentioned going out for drinks with Cedric.

When Ryan hadn’t come home, Daniela had given up waiting and went to bed after midnight.

This morning, when she spoke to the building’s security guard, he had mentioned that Ryan and Cedric had been out drinking until the early hours. Naturally, she assumed Cedric would still be sleeping.

“I just wanted to stop by,” Cedric replied. On the drive over, his mind had been racing as he pieced together the questions he wanted to ask.

But the second he arrived and saw Daniela step out, every word he had practiced vanished. His mind felt scrambled.

He wanted to prove that he was worth something, someone deserving of love, even though he knew it was a risky move. Alexander had once warned him that he’d end up just like him, but Cedric had brushed it off as nonsense.

He had gotten this far on his own.

While he wasn’t on Daniela’s level financially, he never saw himself as beneath her.

Cedric had his own unique sense of pride.

Yet, relationships were the one area where he felt completely out of his depth.

His pulse pounded in his ears, and he feared blurting something out only to be met with the response he dreaded most.

After a moment of inner struggle, Cedric finally forced himself to speak, meeting Daniela’s curious gaze.

“I’m heading out on a business trip. Just came to grab my luggage.”

Daniela studied him carefully.

“A business trip? That’s strange. I haven’t heard about Phillips Group closing any out-of-town deals lately.”

Cedric’s response was stiff.

“It’s an old client. Just keeping up connections.”

The moment he said it, he noticed the tension in his tone and quickly added, “It’s, uh, sort of urgent.”

Daniela gave a small nod.

“Okay.”

He felt her gaze linger on him and tightened his fists.

“Actually, it’s not that urgent.”noveldrama

Daniela frowned slightly.

“What do you mean?”

Cedric, still hesitant to let the matter rest, couldn’t bring himself to ask directly. His mind raced in all directions before he finally blurted, “So do you want me to leave?”

Daniela looked at him and asked, “Is something bothering you?”

“If you just ask me to stay, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here in Olisvine for good,” he replied.
