Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling! - Chapter 616

Chapter 616:

“I told you, Daniela, she’s a bit of a troublemaker. Go ahead and spoil her. Nina, tell Daniela what position you’d like.”

Lillian’s expression soured. It was clear to her that this was all a performance, a scheme to land Nina a spot at Elite Lux. She cast a glance at Daniela, who remained unbothered, before taking a seat.

Daniela smiled warmly at Nina, asking, “So, what do you think, Nina?”

Nina’s voice remained soft, yet every word was unmistakable.

“I want to learn from you, Daniela.

You’ve always been the one I look up to.”

Elyse laughed.

“Don’t be silly. I’m happy Daniela is your role model, but your future should focus on finding a husband.”

Nina pouted, clearly displeased with her mother’s words. Daniela chuckled.

“Alright, Nina can start in the secretarial department tomorrow.”

Elyse’s laughter echoed once more.

After a few more exchanged pleasantries, Elyse left with Nina. As they passed Cedric, Nina’s ears flushed red, and she let out a soft chuckle.

Her chuckle was so soft that only those nearby, like Killian and Cedric, could hear it.

Killian raised an eyebrow, exchanging a glance with Cedric.

Once they had left, Lillian stood, her dissatisfaction clear.

“Those two are masters of manipulation! What a performance they put on this morning!”

Alexander remained rooted to the spot, completely disregarded by Daniela.

He was seething with anger, yet a sliver of hope still lingered as he asked, “Daniela, do you really not want me anymore?”

Daniela was taken by surprise as she gazed at Alexander.

“You’re still here?”

Alexander inhaled deeply. Normally, with his pride, he would have walked out by now.

But today, something was different.

His fists tightened, as if he were throwing all caution aside, unwilling to back down until he had his answer.

“I need you to answer me.”

Without hesitation, Daniela replied, “I refuse.”

Alexander nearly lost his breath.

“Did you ever love me?”

Daniela hesitated briefly, then answered, “No.”

Alexander nodded, his voice cold.

“Alright. Daniela, I hope you never regret what you’ve said today. One day, I’ll make you see me in a new light, reconsider me, and you’ll want me again. But by then, I’ll be out of your reach.”

With that, Alexander walked away, his pride shattered.

Killian nudged Cedric.

“When Alexander said Daniela had given him everything, what did she say that left him so defeated?”

Cedric had an inkling, but he still made his way downstairs. He called out to Alexander, “What did she say to you? We didn’t catch it.”
