“Why are you treatinglike this?” he demanded, his voice tight with anger.
“Cedric gets access to the proposal. Why don’t 1?”
Daniela’s tone remained steady, emotionless.

“We're adults, Alexander. Is it really that simple to get under your skin? That's not like you.”
She leaned back, a hint of disappointment in her tone.
“Truthfully, | thought you had sdignity, spride. If you ccrawling back tonow that I've found
success, it'll make everything | ever felt for you seem like a joke. It'll makerealize that even your ‘love’ could
be bought with money.”

crossed his face.
“I'm incredibly wealthy, Alexander. So wealthy that you can’t even begin to fathom it. And when you have so

Understand?”
With that, she turned back to her paperwork, picked up her pen, and resumed her signing.

together. After a heavy, silent pause, he spun on his heel and headed for the door.

“Keep that attitude. Hold your head up high. And don’t forget to shut the door behind you when you leave.”
The brief softness in Alexander's expression vanished, replaced by a harsh, dark frown.
