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

Chapter 759:

Cedric, ensconced in the office chair Daniela had provided, felt a disquieting sense of something amiss. Why was Daniela getting dragged into the Dury sisters’ drama? Natalie, standing behind Elyse, struck him as a particularly thorny character. Cedric could tell Natalie was someone who knew how to manipulate people.

Natalie felt Cedric’s gaze upon her. Without looking up, she feigned wiping away invisible tears. She figured all men were the same, always falling for the delicate, innocent type. Compared to that dimwit Nina, she thought, any sane man would choose her.

Natalie subtly squared her shoulders, turning to give Cedric what she thought was a dazzling, irresistible smile. But the smile froze on her lips the very next second. Why did Cedric’s supposedly sympathetic gaze seem so harsh?

Taken aback, Natalie quickly averted her eyes.

Just then, she heard Elyse speaking to Daniela.

“Daniela, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but Nina is simply beyond the pale. How could she just stand by while her sister was being harassed? Elite Lux can’t harbor someone like that.”

Daniela responded with a smile, “Is that so?”

Elyse nodded vigorously.
