EuropeNovelChapter 643:
Daniela noticed Cedric immediately.
As she approached, the sharp scent of alcohol hit her.
“Have you been drinking?” she asked, her eyes flickering toward his car.
There was a driver sitting inside.
Relieved, she exhaled quietly before adding, “Why are you here so early?”
The night before, Ryan had mentioned going out for drinks with Cedric.
When Ryan hadn't chome, Daniela had given up waiting and went to bed after midnight.
This morning, when she spoke to the building's security guard, he had mentioned that Ryan and Cedric had been
out drinking until the early hours. Naturally, she assumed Cedric would still be sleeping.
“I just wanted to stop by,” Cedric replied. On the drive over, his mind had been racing as he pieced together the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtquestions he wanted to ask.
But the second he arrived and saw Daniela step out, every word he had practiced vanished. His mind felt
scrambled.
He wanted to prove that he was worth something, someone deserving of love, even though he knew it was a
risky move. Alexander had once warned him that he'd end up just like him, but Cedric had brushed it off as
nonsense.
He had gotten this far on his own.
While he wasn’t on Daniela’s level financially, he never saw himself as beneath her.
Cedric had his own unique sense of pride.

Yet, relationships were the one area where he felt completely out of his depth.
His pulse pounded in his ears, and he feared blurting something out only to be met with the response he
dreaded most.
After a moment of inner struggle, Cedric finally forced himself to speak, meeting Daniela’s curious gaze.
“I'm heading out on a business trip. Just cto grab my luggage.”
Daniela studied him carefully.
“A business trip? That's strange. | haven't heard about Phillips Group closing any out-of-town deals lately.”
Cedric’s response was stiff.
“It’s an old client. Just keeping up connections.”
The moment he said it, he noticed the tension in his tone and quickly added, “It's, uh, sort of urgent.”
Daniela gave a small nod.
“Okay.”
He felt her gaze linger on him and tightened his fists.
“Actually, it's not that urgent.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela frowned slightly.
“What do you mean?”
Cedric, still hesitant to let the matter rest, couldn't bring himself to ask directly. His mind raced in all directions
before he finally blurted, “So do you wantto leave?”
Daniela looked at him and asked, “Is something bothering you?”
“If you just askto stay, | won't leave. I'll stay here in Olisvine for good,” he replied.
