Chapter 228:
With a sharp, angry motion, he slammed the door behind him, the sound echoing violently through the office.
Daniela, however, didn’t flinch. She simply let out a small, almost satisfied smile, while her attention remained
fixed on the papers in front of her. The moment was more than enough.
Alexander was seething with fury, feeling like he would explode at any moment.
Upon his arrival at the bar, he found Keith swaying slightly, clearly drunk and unsteady.
When Alexander shared his grievances, Keith's eyes widened in astonishment, realizing the truth in his friend's
words.
Breaking it down for him, Keith remarked thoughtfully, “Tellif I'm off base here, Alexander. Wasn't it Daniela
who was always following you around? She used to hang on your every word while you barely gave her the time
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof day. Now, she’s wealthy, and suddenly you're showing interest. No wonder she questions your motives.
Daniela makes a good point, you know.”
Alexander clenched his jaw, his expression growing stormy as he gulped down his drink forcefully.
“So you're suggesting | play hard to get?”
Memories of Cedric’s tender ways with Daniela flashed through his mind.
“If I delay too long, she might settle down and start a family with Cedric!”

“Just keep showing her kindness,” Keith advised, his words slurring as the alcohol took over.
“People have hearts; they're not just emotionless stones. Be patient with her, whether it’s for a year, two years,
or even a decade. Alexander, your pride is getting in the way.
You act as if everyone should adore you! Daniela has changed; what makes you think she’ll return to you? You
need to change your approach. Constantly expecting her to appease you will only drive her away. As a man,
don’t let pride dictate your actions, especially since she’s your ex-wife. Why fuss about who's right?”
With a hearty slap on the back, Keith exclaimed, “What a foolish man you are!”
And with that, Keith crumpled to the floor in a heap.
Alexander watched, making no move to assist him. He sat in his chair, ensnared by his own thoughts for what
felt like an eternity.
Eventually, his voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain.
“Is that really how it is? One year... two years... a decade? If | chase after her, will Daniela ever return to me?”
Elite Lux, embracing a modern approach, had implemented a balanced work week: four days of work followed by
three days of rest.
Daniela, ever the efficient worker, had completed her assignments the previous evening. Her secretary popped
in with a reminder, bubbling with enthusiasm.
“Daniela, don’t forget about the banquet tonight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela’s expression shadowed with a touch of melancholy. The secretary departed with an uncontainable grin.
Throughout her tenure, she had never encountered a CEO as genuinely charming as Daniela.
Adorned in her elegant evening gown, Daniela descended the stairs, only to be greeted by the unexpected sight
of Cedric.
His attire was impeccably tailored—a stark black suit that contrasted with his recent tan, acquired from his time
on construction sites, lending him an air of rugged sophistication.
Upon their arrival at the venue, Daniela excused herself to the restroom.
