Chapter 230:
“You said you'd wait because Daniela had just returned. Then you said the North District project was urgent, so
you'd wait again.
What now? Are you going to wait until the project of the South and East Districts is finished?”
It was unusual for Ryan to speak this much.
Lillian remarked, “Look at this, you've even got the quiet one talking. Cedric, what do you really want?”
Cedric leaned against the wall, his eyes focused on Daniela as she stood nearby, enjoying a cupcake while
looking out through the large window.
A shy individual approached her with a drink, and Daniela offered a warm smile, completely unbothered by the
cutthroat atmosphere that usually surrounded business.
“She’s not ready yet,” Cedric murmured.

restroom, walking towards Daniela.
Frowning, Cedric started to move towards them, but Lillian quickly held him back. He glanced at her in confusion.
“Don’t bother.
You won't get it, even if you try. Just watch and learn,” Lillian advised as Ryan held Cedric in place. The person
Daniela was chatting with was a young interior designer, someone Alexander recognized.
He cfrom a humble, rural background with no connections, relying only on his determination to get ahead.
The last the offered Alexander a drink, Alexander took a small sip without much thought, while the young
man downed the entire glass in one go. Later, Alexander had seen the young man vomiting in the restroom, his
girlfriend helping him out.

The girlfriend was simple in appearance and modestly dressed, and she smiled at Alexander as she helped the
man.
Alexander had witnessed many couples like them—staying together through the toughest times.
He looked down on people like them.
By the tAlexander reached Daniela, the young man seemed visibly nervous. Daniela glanced at him briefly,
her tone neutral.
“Mr. Bennett.”
Alexander carried himself with the confidence of someone who had made it, and the young man, feeling
defeated, handed Daniela his business card before leaving. Daniela gave the card a quick look—Leandro
Prescott, an interior designer.
“Don’t waste your time,” Alexander said, snatching the card from her hand before she could read it.
“He’s just a nobody with little to offer. If you need a real expert, cto Bennett Group. I'll introduce you to
someone with over ten years of experience.”
With a casual motion, he threw the card into the trash.
Daniela’s expression darkened.

Alexander's brow furrowed, his expression barely controlled.
“I'm just looking out for you.”
Daniela’s face twisted into a look of distaste, and Alexander trailed behind her, asking, “Why don’t you believe
I'm looking out for you?”
Daniela coolly sipped her juice, her eyes glancing at the time.
