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

Chapter 751:

“See? I told you. I—”

Before he could finish his sentence, they both watched as Daniela blinked.

Daniela looked at them blankly, her gaze lingering on their clasped hands.

“Are you dating?”

Natalie, already battling a rising tide of disgust, struggled to contain her revulsion. She hadn’t expected Daniela to snap out of it so suddenly.

“No. We… It’s just…” Natalie was desperate to distance herself from Linden.

“My hands were cold, and he was just being a gentleman, warming them for me.”

Daniela seemed unconcerned.

Linden, however, turned to Natalie.

Daniela began to walk away, then paused and turned back to Natalie.

“Linden is a good man. There’s no rule against colleagues dating in the company. If you truly admire each other, I support you being together.”

Linden’s face was about to split into a triumphant grin when Natalie quickly interjected, “No. Really. There’s nothing between us. I have someone I like, and it’s not Linden.”

Daniela nodded knowingly, glanced at Linden with a hint of pity, and then shook her head regretfully.

As Daniela’s car pulled away, Linden rounded on Natalie.

“Natalie, what was that all about? Why didn’t you acknowledge our relationship just now? Are you saying you don’t plan to be with me?” That could explain her strange behavior.

Natalie’s patience had worn thin, stretched to its absolute limit. She almost rolled her eyes at him.

She wanted to tell Linden to take a long, hard look at himself in the mirror.

He was daydreaming.

“No, I’m just focusing on my career right now. I don’t want my personal life to interfere with my professional development.”noveldrama

Linden’s face was a mask of disbelief.

“Natalie, if I find out you’re deceiving me, I won’t take it lightly.”

A sudden wave of unease washed over Natalie.

“How could I possibly fool you?”

Upon Daniela’s return home, Nina was concerned and asked, “Are you okay, Daniela?”

No sooner had she spoken than Cedric entered from outside.

“What’s happening? Is everything okay?”

Nina quickly stepped aside.

Daniela gave a soft smile.

“It’s nothing; just a bit of work talk.” Nina understood that Daniela did not want Cedric to know about her struggles.

Before bedtime, Cedric held Daniela close.

“Promise me nothing bad will happen to you.”

Daniela comforted him by patting his hand.

“I’ll be fine.”

Days later, Natalie observed Daniela confidently managing a ten-hour international meeting.
