NovelEnglishChapter 1190: Nikolas swallowed his pride, clenching his teeth. "Fine!" Daniela nodded. "You can bring one secretary in." Nikolas narrowed his eyes, fists clenched, a heavy resentment settling in his chest.

Nikolas possessed a sharp awareness of human nature, especially his own. A sense of indignation bubbled up within him. He spun on his heel and set off in search of Cedric.
A quick glance to the living room revealed that Daniela had already stepped out to the garden to take a call. A wave of relief washed over Nikolas.
His gaze landed on Cedric, who was absorbed in peeling oranges, preparing to squeeze juice for Daniela. Nikolas rolled his eyes in disbelief. "Cedric, you're like a servant who's too devoted to his work." Cedric, undeterred, kept his focus on the oranges, entirely ignoring Nikolas' comment.
Once more, Nikolas rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Suddenly, it struck him-Cedric had never been the warmest person. He was detached from most people and things. While Daniela was distant, Cedric was outright cold, caring for no one but her.

"You think I'm scared of you?"
Nikolas turned to see Cedric loading m the oranges into the machine. watching as the sweet juice flowed into the glass. Nikolas narrowed his eyes at Cedric. "What are you trying to say?"
Cedric's voice was calm but cold. “I'm not interested in you or whatever you're connected to but if you keep pushing me, neither you nor anyone behind you will enjoy the consequences."
