Chapter 68


Chapter 68:

After exchanging a few more remarks, Ryan made his way back upstairs. Meanwhile, Cedric leaned back to gaze once more at the 25th floor, catching the moment when Daniela’s lights dimmed.

Daniela felt no urgency to employ a housekeeper. Over the decade she had spent trying to win Alexander’s heart, she had honed her self-reliance to an art form. Her domestic skills were unmatched, maintaining her home in impeccable order.

After all, Joyce’s disruptive antics weren’t going to cease any time soon. Hiring someone too soft-spoken or gentle might only lead them to be overwhelmed by bullying.
