Chapter 1078: Alexander's response was instant. "No way!" Richard nodded in approval. "Then here's the plan. Tell Daniela that I'm inviting her over for dinner. We've had our share of misunderstandings, and it's tI make an effort to smooth things over." Alexander hesitated. “I'll give it a shot. She's been pretty busy lately." "Busy or not, everyone has to eat," Richard said, fixing Alexander with a sharp look. "Do you even realize how many people have their eyes on Daniela?

Restless, Alexander shot up from his chair. “I'll go invite her right now. Dad, make sure to prepare her favorite dishes. And when she gets here, please don't put on airs." Richard waved a hand dismissively. "Naturally. Just get her here-I'll treat her like royalty." Alexander gave a firm nod before making a beeline for Elite Lux.

"Please pass this to her and let her know my father and I are inviting her to dinner. I also need to discuss something with Daniela. Would it be alright if I waited here?" Carol, unfazed, gestured toward the conference room.
Alexander offered a small smile and walked over, only to halt in surprise. The room was packed.
A frown of confusion crossed Alexander's face as he glanced at Carol. She smirked. "They're all here for the sreason as you-hoping to invite Daniela to dinner. Feel free to join the club!" Cedric, too, considered staying.

Just as he moved forward, Carol cut in. "Cedric, don't you have, your own place?" Alexander stilled. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Carol remained unfazed. "Exactly what I said. Needto spell it out?"
Alexander watched as Cedric stepped forward. Without hesitation, Carol handed the sushi box back to Gedric, Daniela isn't here. No clue when she'll be back-or if she'll be back at all. You're welcto wait, but if it takes too long, you can leave."
