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

Chapter 672:

Leaning in slightly, Natalie couldn’t resist pressing further.noveldrama

“Aren’t you curious about what they’ll be up to this weekend?” She waited, the silence thick between them.

Daniela’s gaze remained locked on the project proposal on her screen, completely ignoring Natalie’s question. There was no flicker of concern for Cedric in her expression either.

Natalie clenched her jaw in quiet frustration, lowering her eyes as she made her way out of the office.

In the hallway, she called her mother.

“Mom, stop trying. I’ve tested her again and again. Daniela doesn’t care about Cedric. If you want to hit her where it hurts, you’ll have to dig into her personal affairs. Cedric won’t work.”

Elyse’s voice crackled with doubt through the phone.

“Are you sure? Nina mentioned things were heating up between them. Cedric is Daniela’s weakness, her Achilles’ heel. Do you really think you’ve got it right?”

“Mom, do you not trust me?” Natalie’s tone was tinged with impatience.

“I told you, they only have a physical connection. If she truly cared, she’d be worried about him meeting someone else. Daniela doesn’t care for Cedric at all.”

On the other end, Elyse exhaled sharply, her voice laced with concern.

“If that’s the case, we’re in trouble. Without a weakness like Cedric, we’ll have to go after her to get to her assets.”

Though she spoke with resolve, unease lingered in Elyse’s voice.

Determined, she made her decision.

With a small gift in hand, she stepped into Daniela’s office. A smile played on her lips as she said, “Daniela, you know, Nina’s getting older. It’s time she thought about marriage.”

The moment Elyse spoke, Daniela knew exactly what was coming. Without even lifting her gaze, she responded casually, “Oh? Do you have someone in mind?”

Elyse didn’t hesitate.

“Of course. Nina’s particular, you see. After all this time working as your secretary, she’s taken a liking to one of the men over at Elite Lux. But she’s worried you won’t approve.”

A faint smile tugged at Daniela’s lips.

“Surely you’re joking. The employees at Elite Lux are free to make their own choices when it comes to marriage.”

Elyse took a slow sip of her coffee, her laughter gentle but knowing.

“This one’s a bit different, though.

Your approval is important.”

Daniela, still engrossed in her work, gave a brief nod.

“I’m listening.”

Without hesitation, Elyse dropped the name.

“Cedric.”

“Cedric?” Daniela’s pen hovered over the contract as she glanced down, her expression unreadable.

“Yes, Cedric. I’m here to ask if what you have with him is serious, or just a passing fling. If it’s the latter, I think it would be best to let Nina and Cedric have their chance together.” A knowing smile crept onto Elyse’s face.

“Cedric has a lot of potential. If he were to marry into the Dury family, he’d be quite the asset in the future, wouldn’t you agree?”
