EuropeNovelChapter 621:
Cedric’s generosity seemed boundless. As Nina watched him, her heart pounded with intensity, captivated by
Cedric’s profile. She thought such a man truly deserved the finest partner. A look of admiration and yearning
filled her eyes.
Realizing they were alone in the office, Nina approached Cedric and “accidentally” tilted her coffee cup. The
coffee stained Cedric’s immaculate white shirt.
Cedric turned, expecting Lillian, but instead, he met Nina's apologetic gaze. She appeared flustered, rapidly
grabbing tissues.
“I'm so sorry, Cedric. | didn’t mean to. This was clumsy of me.”
While apologizing, she reached out with a tissue towards Cedric’s midsection. Cedric frowned, instinctively
stepping back. He was about to respond when the office door swung open.

“Daniela, about Nina...” She halted abruptly upon seeing the scene in the office.
Daniela entered behind her.
“| apologize, Daniela. This was my mistake. Please don’t misinterpret what happened,” Nina pleaded, her voice
tinged with distress as she bit her lip.
After Nina finished speaking, she bowed her head and began to weep quietly, giving the impression that
something significant had occurred between her and Cedric, who had earlier been alone with her in the office.
Lillian’s expression soured as she observed Nina, the situation leaving a bad taste in her mouth.
Nina kept her gaze lowered, oblivious to Daniela’s reaction. With a soft voice, she added, “I apologize, Daniela.”
Cedric was about to clarify things to Daniela when she entered the room and replied, “Is that so? What exactly
are you apologizing for?” Daniela’s calm question seemed to diffuse the tension Cedric had been feeling.
Nina frowned. Was Daniela genuinely this undisturbed? Perhaps Daniela harbored no romantic feelings for
Cedric, or she trusted him implicitly. Nina suspected it was the former; trust was seldom granted freely in their
circles.

Feeling a glimmer of hope, she reassured herself that if there was no romantic link between Daniela and Cedric,
she might still have a chance.
“Look, Daniela, | accidentally spilled coffee on Cedric earlier. It was purely an accident.”
Lillian scoffed dismissively.
“Really? Is that it? Your expression just now suggested Cedric was at fault for something far more serious.”
Nina widened her eyes, her expression filled with an adorable sense of disbelief.
“How could you say that? There's absolutely nothing improper between Cedric and me. Lillian, why would you
entertain such unsavory ideas?”
Lillian met her gaze with a mocking sneer.

As soon as she heard those words, tears that had been brimming in Nina’s eyes began to spill over.
“Lillian, have | done something to offend you? Why must you cast such aspersions about me? Cedric is a
distinguished guest at Elite Lux. | hold him in high regard. Is that objectionable? Must everyone agree with you? |
didn’t realize you were so overbearing, Lillian.”
Lillian bristled at the accusation.
“Excuse me! What did you just call me?”
