Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 20:

The sharp ring of Alexander’s phone caught his attention. He rose with elegance and stated, “If you’ll excuse me for a moment.”

As he strode towards the door to take the call, it burst open unexpectedly.

A cold breeze swept past him, and the first thing he noticed was a dark, imposing figure entering the room. Looking up, Alexander realized the man was very tall.

Chairs clattered against the floor as others stood hastily, their voices a mixture of awe and excitement.

“Mr. Phillips! Oh, what a pleasure to have you grace us with your presence!”

Holding his phone with a firmer grip, Alexander stepped aside, yet his eyes remained momentarily fixed on the newcomer, whose chilling presence suggested a stern warning to those unacquainted.

Coming back to his senses, Alexander finally spoke into the phone.

“Dad, what’s going on?”

Richard’s voice crackled with enthusiasm through the phone.

“Did you hear? The Luxor Tower has been bought by Elite Lux’s president!” His tone was low, as though he was wary of eavesdroppers.

“Have you ever heard of Elite Lux? It’s the crown jewel among transnational design firms, with a valuation in the billions. Undeniably, they are the best of the best! Imagine the boundless opportunities if we could establish a connection with Elite Lux. Alexander, word has it that the president of Elite Lux will be visiting Luxor Tower tomorrow to review the renovations. I want you to bring our company’s top-notch design portfolio and try to spark a partnership. Even if it doesn’t result in a collaboration, just catching the eye of Elite Lux’s CEO could unlock a lot of opportunities for us in the future!”

Alexander promptly straightened his tie and inquired, “Any chance you could figure out what that CEO might like?”

Richard replied, “No, they keep a low profile. Nothing about them is publicly accessible. However, they might have a taste for exquisite liquors or high-end watches. An opulent gift should definitely leave the perfect impression.”

Alexander nodded thoughtfully.

“Understood.”

Just as he was about to disconnect, Richard chimed in with an afterthought, “Oh, and if it fits into your schedule, take Joyce along with you. Her boutique was a fixture in the Luxury Tower, but with the recent sale, she’s been forced to vacate. The building is a landmark, after all, and she’s understandably reluctant to leave it behind. From what I’ve gathered, Caiden holds Joyce in high regard, almost as if she were his own kin. Should the Harper family’s wealth indeed fall into her hands, I’d see no issue with you pursuing her. Daniela has lost her relevance. It’s time to sever ties.”

The words hung in the air as Alexander stood motionless, his expression blank and his gaze cast downward.

Richard’s voice broke the silence.

“Keep in mind, 8 a.m. sharp tomorrow —bring Joyce along. And make sure to remind her to dress appropriately. No over-the-top outfits!”noveldrama

Deep down, Alexander understood that Richard’s view of Joyce was far from flattering.

Her rural upbringing made her a stark contrast to those born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Once the call ended, Alexander’s mind lingered on selecting a suitable and impressive gift for his secretary to handle.

By the time he arrived at the room, everyone was already clinking glasses with Cedric.
