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

Chapter 507:

“Since I cut my ties with Caiden, my assets are no longer intertwined with his. What reason could Katrina possibly have to target me? Merely out of spite? Alexander, do you honestly believe that spite is enough to justify attempted murder?”

Caught off guard, Alexander struggled to find his voice. Each time Daniela countered with her poised, logical arguments, he felt increasingly out of his element. The undeniable authority she wielded as a leader rendered him nearly powerless, dwarfed by her formidable presence.

Time and again, Alexander found himself deferring to Daniela, uncertain how to steer their conversations.

“Stop dragging me into your nonsense—I’ve got better things to do,” Daniela said, her eyes meeting his as she clutched her pen.

Alexander managed a terse, “Just be careful.” Daniela offered no reply.

A heavy silence settled over the spacious office. Alexander knew he should make his exit, yet something made him linger. Daniela, however, seemed utterly disinterested in continuing their interaction.

“I guess I’ll be on my way then,” he remarked, locking eyes with Daniela.

“I couldn’t help but notice your office only has one plant—kind of drab, don’t you think? I’ve ordered some sweet osmanthus flowers to brighten it up. They’ll be here soon.”

Daniela didn’t get a chance to object as Alexander hurried out, perhaps fearful of a rejection.

The moment the flowers arrived, the secretary let out a soft gasp, unable to hide her surprise.

“Where do you want me to put these?” she inquired.

“Keep them downstairs,” Daniela responded with a hint of annoyance.

“I’m allergic to them.”

The secretary wasted no time and had the flowers sent straight to the first-floor restroom, where Daniela would never see them.

The sheer weight of the massive flower pot had the employees gasping for breath by the time they got it downstairs.

“Is Alexander out of his mind? If he was going to send flowers, shouldn’t he have checked her preferences first? Daniela is allergic, and he is clueless?”

“Why didn’t Daniela just turn him down?”

The gathered employees turned to the secretary, their curiosity unanimous.

“Does she still have feelings for him?”

The secretary let out a frustrated sigh.

“Are you all out of your minds? Daniela has someone as remarkable as Cedric pursuing her. Why on earth would she waste a second on Alexander?”noveldrama

The team exchanged puzzled glances.

“Then why does she keep the flowers Alexander sent?”

Reflecting on Daniela’s response, the secretary speculated, “She probably just couldn’t be bothered. Refusing would have meant explaining herself, and we all know she doesn’t like revealing her weaknesses to outsiders.”

At the mention of outsiders, the group nodded in agreement.

It was clear: someone like Alexander could never hold the same appeal for Daniela as Cedric did.

Alexander was under the illusion that his flowers had earned him the same privileges Cedric had—privileges like regular visits to Daniela’s office.
