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

Chapter 935:

“So, what brings you here today?” Daniela probed, her voice light but with an undercurrent of scrutiny.

Hackett let out a nervous chuckle, more a stammer than a laugh. “Considering you’re at the helm of this acquisition, I just wanted to clear the air. Any past misunderstandings—I hope there are no hard feelings.”

Daniela looked at him, her expression shifting to one of perplexity. “Why? There’s nothing to clear. You seem to be overstating things. Weren’t you the one who always preached that women should be seen as mere adornments for men, advising Cedric against pampering me too much? I must admit, sometimes your observations might hold a grain of truth.”

Her last words, laced with a sweet, sardonic smile, sent a fresh wave of anxiety crashing over Hackett. His complexion turned ashen as the full implication of her words slowly dawned on him.

Cedric and Daniela couldn’t have been more different.

Her indifference was absolute.

After speaking, she turned her attention back to her meal, completely ignoring Hackett. Not even his position as the president of the commerce association had any influence on her. She didn’t even offer a few polite words to conclude the conversation.
