Chapter 648:
Daniela chlate that night.
As she entered, she quickly messaged Cedric. As she passed the kitchen, Josie opened the glass door and
greeted her, “Good evening, Daniela.”
Daniela turned toward her and replied, “Good evening.”
Josie retrieved the hand cream from her pocket. Daniela instantly recognized the brand.
“What's going on?” she asked.
“Nina gave this to me,” Josie replied.
Daniela smiled at the mention of it.
“This brand is excellent. It's a luxury brand.”

Josie looked uneasy.
“It’s not about the hand cream. | wanted to tell you that Nina isn’t as simple as she seems. She gavesuch an
extravagant gift. She must have sagenda. Before going to her room, she even askedwhich room Cedric
is staying in.”
Josie had been feeling anxious lately.
Ever since Daniela and Cedric got together, he hadn't traveled far. But this time, when he left, he was in a bad
mood and had been gone for a week.
When Josie asked Cedric if he had argued with Daniela, he remained silent. Her anxiety deepened.
She began to wonder if Daniela no longer cared about Cedric.
“It's fine,” Daniela said, smiling.

“Just focus on your work, Josie. Whatever Nina gives you, feel free to accept it.” It was like a free meal. Why not
take it?
Daniela went upstairs, leaving Josie behind, her brow furrowed with worry.
She couldn't help but wonder if Daniela and Cedric had truly fought or broken up. Otherwise, Daniela’s reaction
wouldn't be so strange.
She had already warned her about Nina's ulterior motives, yet Daniela remained unbothered.
Did Daniela not care at all anymore?
Josie’s heart skipped a beat as she sensed something was wrong.
Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone and called Cedric, urgently recounting everything that had just
transpired.
Panic filled Josie’s voice as she spoke into the phone.

“Cedric, when are you coming back? You've put so much effort into winning Daniela’s heart—don’t give up now.
I'm not seeing any urgency from her. She doesn’t even seem jealous, which isn’t right in a relationship.”
Cedric was already feeling agitated. Josie’s words struck him like a dagger to the heart. He felt a wave of dread
wash over him.
Daniela had returned hjust to change. Before leaving again, she saw Josie on the phone, pacing in the
courtyard.
From behind the glass, she couldn't hear their conversation, but it was obvious that Josie was so frantic she
seemed ready to jump out of her skin.
Daniela cast a brief glance in her direction, lifted the hem of her dress, and stepped out the door.
Josie turned and saw Daniela leaving. She quickly said to Cedric, “Daniela’s gone out. She only cback to
change. She put on a stunning dress—looks like she’s heading out for a date. Please, when will you be back? If
you don’t hurry, I'm afraid another man might steal her away.”
Josie wasn't entirely to blfor her distress.
