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

Chapter 625:

“You’ve always been there for Joyce, far more than Caiden ever was for me. It’s only fair that Joyce supports you.”

Katrina found no fault in that reasoning and remained silent. Lillian then took the disheartened Katrina to change into the evening attire for the event.

As they prepared to depart, Katrina caught sight of Nina by the doorway. Her reaction was immediate—her pupils dilated, her complexion paled, and a shiver ran through her. Instinctively, she sidestepped and hurried out of Daniela’s office. Nina, lingering at the door, reflected on her observations. Initially, she had underestimated Daniela, attributing her success to mere luck. However, witnessing Daniela command a room during meetings had changed her perspective.

Daniela’s dominance and the respect she commanded were undeniable. Today, as she watched Daniela handle Katrina with such deft authority and strategic conversation, Nina was convinced of Daniela’s complexity.

Quietly, Nina bowed her head and texted Elyse:

“Daniela will be at the banquet tonight, wrapping up around eleven. I’ll keep Cedric busy. Handle Daniela on your end!”

After sending the text, Nina shifted her focus back to Lillian. Lillian appeared experienced in handling difficult situations. Nina knew she had to find a way to prevent Lillian from attending the banquet, isolating Daniela for the evening.

After a brief pause, Nina swung open the door to Daniela’s office, wearing a bright smile and adopting an overly sweet tone.

“Daniela, it seems like I’m not on your radar at all.”

“Why?” Daniela responded with a light chuckle.

“Are you attending the banquet tonight? You haven’t considered inviting me to join you for some networking. Are you only taking Lillian? We are family, after all.”

Daniela arched an eyebrow.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, we are all part of the Dury family. We should stick together and lift each other up. Please, Daniela, I’d love to go to the banquet with you tonight. Leave Lillian behind.”

Daniela’s smile was gentle, her voice teasing.

“You’re quite demanding, aren’t you? Why can’t Lillian come?”

Nina made a face, resembling a sulking child.

“I just had a small argument with Lillian. I need some space. Daniela, please, just take me.”

Daniela nodded.

“Okay.”

Nina’s face lit up with delight. She quickly glanced at Cedric, who was preoccupied with his phone, and her heart skipped with excitement.

“Daniela, may I stop by Elite Lux’s high-end designer section to pick a dress?”noveldrama

Daniela gave her permission with a nod.

“Of course, go pick something nice.”

Nina’s eyes sparkled.

“Thanks so much, Daniela!”

As Nina exited the office, she strutted confidently, assured by her victory. Tonight, she believed, Cedric would be completely captivated by her.

Lillian escorted Katrina to Elite Lux’s exclusive wardrobe to pick out an outfit. Amidst the splendid array of garments, Katrina selected a particularly luxurious gown.
