Chapter 382:
“Is he trying to mend things?”
Daniela bowed her head, her expression unreadable.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Acknowledging the response, Lillian simply nodded and retreated to her game, leaving the room to return to its
usual quietude.
As Daniela wrapped up her data work, Cedric’s plant was dangerously close to being overwatered.
With a gentle smile, she approached, relieving him of the watering can with a graceful gesture.
“Everything okay?”
Cedric glanced upward, his eyes meeting Daniela’s.

Daniela gave a slight nod in affirmation. Just as Cedric’s gaze began to drop, laden with disappointment, she
continued.
“Katrina is not the type to just sit around; she won't keep Joyce waiting much longer. Alexander's invitation is
merely a desperate attempt to influence my decision, hoping I'll repeat past mistakes.”
Cedric was taken aback by Daniela’s pragmatic tone.
“And you're still planning to go?”
“Yes. Otherwise, it would only lead to more complications. Once he realizes it’s futile, I'll finally be free.
Moreover, if | don’t clarify things, it might just spark a hint of jealousy.”

At her mention of jealousy, Cedric involuntarily coughed, his fingers brushing against the watering can Daniela
had just put down.
“Who would be jealous?”
Noticing the redness creeping up Cedric’s ears, Daniela let out a gentle laugh. She then reassured him, “Lunch
might not fillup. I'll cook for you once I'm home.”
Cedric felt a wave of relief wash over him.
“Do you show this kind of consideration to all your suitors?” he asked, a note of hope in his voice.
Daniela was about to answer when Lillian burst into the room, waving her phone energetically.
“Daniela, it's tfor the meeting!”
After Daniela had hurried off, Cedric was left alone, pondering whether Daniela extended this kindness to all her
suitors or if it was something reserved just for him.
Cedric held back his question, reluctant to hear the answer.
If Daniela admitted that she treated all her suitors in the smanner, Cedric feared he wouldn't withstand
such a revelation.

Due to a tight schedule, Daniela couldn't venture far for lunch and met Alexander at the restaurant just below.
“How unfortunate. The cuisine is superb at the other spot. Perhaps next time, | can show you.”
Daniela’s eyes drifted momentarily to a nearby table, spotting Ryan, Lillian, and Cedric. Her lips twitched into a
fleeting smile.
“The quality of a meal depends on the company. Also, there's no need for small talk. Just say what you need to
say.”
