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

Chapter 1244:

Carol quickly realized Daniela had made her choice—Charles.noveldrama

She hesitated, recalling how cheerful Cedric had been yesterday. “What about Cedric? What’s your plan for him?”

Daniela, usually so composed, felt a headache forming at the thought of Cedric.

Carol said, “I have a feeling Cedric’s wrapping things up at the company. I saw him packing his bags this morning.”

Daniela froze in surprise.

Carol added, “He’s convinced you’ll choose him for sure. If he finds out you’ve chosen someone else, it will break his heart.”

Daniela’s brow furrowed slightly.

Carol gazed at Daniela. “Whether it’s the McCoy family or anywhere else, we can protect Cedric. What are you really afraid of?”

Daniela’s gaze turned icy. “You don’t understand.”

Carol replied, “When I first met Cedric, I didn’t like him. I thought he lacked ambition. But now I see he’s responsible—a real man. He cares for you deeply. He was so happy yesterday. Can you bear to see him sad?”

Daniela didn’t want to continue this conversation, but Carol pressed on. She believed Cedric was a good man. It was only when Cedric was near that Daniela seemed less distant, her coldness softening with a touch of warmth.

Daniela sighed and looked at Carol. “If we could truly protect him, how did he end up with an injured leg?”

Carol pouted. “That was an accident.”

Daniela retorted, “One accident almost took his life. People are fragile and can’t handle too many accidents. He’s lame now. I lost a child. We were bedridden for three years. Do you get it now?”

Carol was left speechless for a moment.

Daniela gazed into the distance. “There’s a destined connection between people. When it’s over, it’s time to part ways.”

Carol wanted to say more but couldn’t find the words.

Cedric was organizing the assets of Phillips Group, preparing to hand over control of the company to a professional manager.

His secretary sighed helplessly. “Boss, I can’t believe it. You’re the only CEO I’ve ever seen who’s always thinking about retiring. You’re the CEO, the founder. If you leave, what will happen to us?”

Other companies feared layoffs due to poor performance.

While Phillips Group was thriving, its CEO was unreliable, constantly thinking of running away.

It made them worry he might disappear one day.

The secretary said, “Boss, you need more ambition. We need to lift our spirits! What will you even do at home? Your wife has her own matters, right?”

The secretary felt drained, as if he’d aged years overnight.

Cedric remained unfazed. He packed the documents into a box. “I’ll transfer everything to the professional manager. You’ll stay as chief secretary, and the company’s structure will remain the same. Your salary will increase by ten percent.”

“Every year. Don’t you want a house in Olisvine? Consider it a gift for your loyalty over the years.”
