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

Chapter 508:noveldrama

The next day, he took the opportunity to go up to her office, claiming it was to tend to the flowers.

The secretary, aware of Daniela’s allergy to those flowers, simply told him they had been moved to the first floor. Confused, Alexander made his way downstairs, only to find the flowers placed near the restroom.

His excitement fizzled out in an instant, leaving him deflated.

While walking around, he overheard the employees discussing Daniela’s allergy to the flowers he had sent. A wave of frustration quickly shifted to guilt as he absorbed the information.

Determined to make it right, Alexander rushed out and bought an even larger pot of gardenias—bigger than the one Cedric had given her.

However, this time, he didn’t encounter Daniela. Instead, he crossed paths with Cedric, who had just finished tending to the flowers.

“Mr. Bennett? This isn’t your company. Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate for you to be planting flowers here?” A smug smile tugged at Cedric’s lips.

Once, he had always felt overshadowed by Alexander, never quite able to stand up to him. But now, he was Daniela’s husband. That little fact gave him the confidence to speak his mind, as he now had every right to do so. Even though their marriage was still a secret, Cedric still ordered the staff to dispose of Alexander’s flowers without a second thought.

“That’s not something you can just do!” Alexander snapped.

“Oh, I can and I will.

You don’t belong here, Alexander. Don’t think you can crawl back to Daniela just because things fell apart with Joyce.”

Don’t miss it: gᴀlиovєℓѕ.cоm

A flush of anger spread through Alexander as he gritted his teeth.

“I didn’t mean it that way. It was just a simple gift, trying to be friendly.”

“We don’t need your gift. We already have flowers and someone to care for them.

You’re not needed.” Rage burned inside Alexander, but he knew better than to challenge Cedric face-to-face. A sense of inferiority gnawed at him. In business, Cedric had the upper hand, and deep down, he knew he couldn’t measure up to Cedric.

In this world, power and wealth were the keys to everything. Alexander’s fists tightened in silent resolve. He vowed to himself that one day he’d stand toe-to-toe with Cedric. He would reclaim his place at Elite Lux, win Daniela back on his terms, and show her he could provide all she deserved.

As Alexander stormed off, Cedric allowed himself a quiet chuckle. Alexander’s intentions were apparent, and Cedric understood them perfectly. Alexander wouldn’t be granted the opportunity to redeem himself, nor would he ever stand before Daniela again. There were certain losses that couldn’t be undone.

Upon Daniela’s return, the secretary filled her in on the events of the day.

“Did he get upset?” Daniela asked, her voice calm.

The secretary, assuming Daniela referred to Alexander, nodded.

“Yes, he was absolutely furious when he left.”

Daniela shifted her gaze towards the secretary.

“I was asking about Cedric.”

The secretary’s response was immediate.

“No. He was in a great mood. After Alexander left, he was tending to the flowers and humming a tune.” A faint smile tugged at Daniela’s lips.

Curiously, the secretary watched her and then asked, “Should I handle these situations differently next time?” In business, it was often more advantageous to have allies than adversaries.

“No need to worry,” Daniela replied with composure.
