Chapter 215:
She offered Cedric a skewer with a teasing smile.
“Care to dothe honor of trying one?”
Cedric couldn't help but smile. Shaking his head, he grabbed a clean piece of cardboard and slid it under Daniela
for her to sit on before sitting down next to her.
It was already past 11 p.m.
The dim lights from the distant construction site cast long shadows. The two sat there together, watching as the
towering structure slowly took shape in front of them.
“What do you think?” Cedric asked with a grin, mimicking Daniela’s earlier tone.
“Any suggestions?”
Daniela shook her head, nibbling on a piece of corn.

Cedric was dependable and thorough—someone who could be relied upon to get things done without a hitch.
She had no feedback or advice to give.
In that moment, Daniela wasn’t focused on work or plans. She just wanted to sit on the cool concrete in front of
what would soon be her empire, enjoying barbecue and beer with Cedric.
When Alexander showed up, he found Daniela and Cedric clinking beer bottles, casually seated on the sidewalk,
completely carefree.
Alexander frowned deeply as he walked over. He looked at Cedric and said, “She’s being reckless, but you should
know better. Daniela is the CEO of Elite Lux. If someone catches a picture of this, it'll cause a storm of rumors.

Alexander believed his words were perfectly reasonable. However, to his surprise, Daniela’s face turned to a cold

The friendly, relaxed vibe she'd had with Cedric disappeared in an instant, replaced by clear frustration that was
impossible to hide.
“Mr. Bennett, do you know where you're standing?” Daniela’s voice was icy, and she didn’t even glance his way.
Her eyes stayed locked on the muddy construction site in the distance.
“This is my domain.
You don’t get to chere and act like you're in charge.”
Alexander quickly tried to explain, “I'm doing this because | care about you.”
But Daniela got to her feet and wiped her hands clean. She looked at Cedric and said, “I've seen enough. The
progress looks good. I'll send someone else to take charge from here.
You don’t need to stay. Focus on your company.”
Only then did she face Alexander.

“Do you need a ride back?” Cedric laughed and nodded.
“I'd really appreciate it.”
Anxiety gripped Alexander immediately!
Just as he was about to follow Daniela, his phone erupted with the shrill ring of an incoming call.
It was Katrina on the line. He pressed the decline button, but she was persistent, calling again. He declined once
