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

Chapter 499:

Outside, Daniela wrapped up her conversation with Lillian.

Cedric dialed Daniela.

“Katrina’s just left.”

Peeking inside, Daniela noticed the now-vacant couch.

“Did you capture anything worthwhile?”

“Yes, she spilled the beans. But then Alexander appeared out of the blue and threw a wrench in the works.” Daniela had meticulously orchestrated this scenario, only for Alexander to unwittingly disrupt it.

This did little to improve Daniela’s mood.

Cedric tried to soothe her over the phone.

“Let it go. We’ll hatch another plan later.”

Daniela sighed.

“Okay. It’s getting cold out here. Why don’t you come inside?”

After ending the call, she lingered in the courtyard for a moment to compose herself before entering.

Alexander rose from the sofa.

“Daniela, we need to talk.” Daniela appeared visibly fatigued.

“Let’s talk another day. I’m rather worn out.”

“But it’s important.”

At that moment, Cedric barged through the door. Alexander hesitated, locking eyes with Daniela, and fell silent for a long moment.

“Aren’t you going to say something?” Daniela prompted, looking at Alexander.

Alexander pressed his lips tightly together, hesitant to disclose his discovery in Cedric’s presence. He believed it was a secret between Daniela and him. It needed no other ears.noveldrama

While Alexander wrestled with his thoughts, Cedric made his way into the living room. Daniela kept her gaze fixed on Alexander.

Finally, Alexander spoke.

“It’s nothing. I heard you’ve been battling sleepless nights, so I got my hands on some supplements.”

Daniela nodded.

“Thank you. That’s very thoughtful. Fortunately, I don’t suffer from insomnia anymore, so I won’t be needing them.” With that, she ascended the stairs.

Cedric, who had spent a good part of the night by the door, hoping to record Katrina trying to harm Daniela, was thwarted by Alexander’s untimely arrival.

He decided to shower. Emerging from the bathroom, he found Alexander had left. He proceeded upstairs.

He found Daniela lying in her bed, engulfed in gloom. Kneeling beside her, he whispered, “It’s okay. We’ll get another shot at this.”

Daniela remained silent.

Cedric persisted, “Do you reckon Alexander picked up on something today?”

“Likely. When he walked in, Katrina’s voice quivered so much, it would’ve been difficult not to notice something was amiss.”

“I wonder why he showed up out of the blue in the first place.”

Daniela stared at the ceiling.

“Who knows? Maybe he genuinely came to deliver supplements.”
