Chapter 241:
“I need to see Daniela,” Alexander insisted firmly.
The guard remained unmoved, his expression apologetic yet resolute.
“I'm sorry, but Ms. Harper is currently on her lunch break and is not accepting any visitors. Additionally, to
maintain fairness, she is not meeting with representatives from any bidding companies during this period. Are
you, by chance, involved in the bids this afternoon?”
If Alexander was involved in the bidding, he would be denied any contact with Daniela.
Alexander was well aware of the rules, but his dire situation left him with only one option—go to Daniela. It
wasn't just about him. This was for his family, for the livelihood of thousands of employees, and to live up to
Richard’s expectations. He hoped Daniela would understand his position, allowing him to proceed to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafternoon's bid without any lingering doubts.
“Please, | need to speak with Daniela for a moment. It's a personal matter, unrelated to today’s bidding.”
“She’s not available to meet,” the guard stated firmly.
As Alexander made a move to bypass him, the guard didn’t hesitate to summon reinforcement.
“Lillian, could you please cdown here? There's someone named Mr. Bennett here, and he won't take no for
an answer—he wants to see Ms. Harper now.”
Lillian’s irritation was palpable the moment she got the message. Without a moment's delay, she descended the
stairs to confront Alexander. Her voice was icy as she addressed him.
“What's so important that it can’t wait? Why must your concerns always disrupt our peace? Can't you see
everyone else deserves a lunch break? Do you really think you're so significant that the world must pause at
your whim? It's frankly embarrassing, Alexander. Aren't you supposed to be more mature than this?”
Despite the sharp sting of her words, Alexander remained steady and composed.
“Lillian, | realize you have your grievances with me, but this is urgent and only involves Daniela. | assure you, it
has nothing to do with the bidding. May | please speak with her upstairs?”
His voice carried a sincerity that seemed more profound than usual.
Yet, Lillian perceived him merely as a man blinded by the lure of profit. Elevating her voice deliberately, she
challenged him.
“If this has nothing to do with the bid, why are you so hell-bent on meeting her right now?”
Her words boomed across the cafeteria, capturing the attention of the other executives who were awaiting the
afternoon's bidding session.
Lillian, intent on creating a spectacle, pressed on.
“And what's more, how can we be sure you're not planning to lean on your past relationship to influence or bribe
my boss once you're behind closed doors? Are you looking for an unfair advantage—a shortcut, perhaps? That
hardly seems just to the rest of us, diligently preparing our proposals. Alexander, choose the honorable route and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabandon these shortcuts! Everyone else deserves a fair chance at this project, too. Why should Elite Lux favor
you exclusively? What makes you so exceptional?”
At her provocation, several business owners rose, their gestures accusatory as they pointed at Alexander.
“That's right. We all agreed—no meetings with Ms. Harper before the official session. It maintains fairness. How
could you disregard the rules?”
“Indeed.
You already have an advantage knowing Ms. Harper. Why isn’t that good enough for you?”
