Chapter 164:
The construction team was already at the restaurant when Daniela walked in, her arrival leaving them
momentarily speechless, captivated by her commanding aura.
At the toast, Cedric presented her with a glass of juice and clinked his glass against hers.
With a conspiratorial grin, he leaned towards the foreman and whispered, “Let’s keep the evening light for her;
alcohol tends to cloud her bright spirit.”
His voice dripped with an overt protective charm. It was common knowledge among the construction team that
Cedric’s involvement in their project was deeply tied to Daniela.
With genuine smiles, the workers toasted.
“Ms. Harper, we'll give it our all! You can rely on us!”
As the president of a powerful and expansive company, Daniela graciously invited them to a lavish dinner. Her

visiting the site. This dinner was her subtle way of paving the path for him to earn the trust and camaraderie of
the workers.
Marco Pittman, the foreman, observed their interactions, his expression one of content satisfaction.
The evening concluded with everyone feeling uplifted and jovial.
Daniela approached the counter to settle the bill, only to discover that Cedric had preemptively taken care of it.

Alexander's eyes were cold as he fixed his gaze on Daniela.
“Are you seeing Cedric now?”
Daniela, completely sober, washed her hands before replying, “Mr. Bennett, is there something you require?”
Alexander's tone hardened as he pressed on.
“I asked you a question! Are you and Cedric seeing each other now?”
He understood Daniela’s character deeply. Unless her heart was engaged, she wouldn't have a meal with a
construction team just to be near Cedric.
“No,” Daniela responded truthfully.
“Then what are your intentions?”
Maintaining her composure, Daniela replied calmly, “Regarding what exactly?”
“Concerning your feelings,” Alexander stated, his stare penetrating.
“About us.”
Daniela kept her calm.
“I've moved on.”
Alexander narrowed his eyes.
“What's that supposed to mean?”
Daniela responded simply, “Exactly what it sounds like.”
Alexander gave a slight nod.

Daniela’s tone was icy.
“That's none of your concern.”
“How could it not matter? You're my ex-wife! It’s my responsibility to evaluate the men you pick!” Even
Alexander realized how absurd that sounded.
Daniela, unfazed, said calmly, “I'm perfectly capable of handling it myself.”
