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

Chapter 23:

Just as he was about to instruct his secretary to exchange it for a superior golf club, his phone rang with an urgent update.

“I’ve just heard from reliable sources—the CEO of Elite Lux’s plane touched down ahead of schedule! They’ll be at the Luxor Tower within the hour!”

Exhaling deeply, Richard strolled into the storage room and emerged with a gift box, elegantly wrapped.

“Take this instead—the golf club Daniela gave me before. It’ll make a better gift for the CEO of Elite Lux.”

Curiosity piqued, Alexander examined the club’s intricate patterns and the label on the box.

“Is this a custom design?”

Earlier that morning, a shop assistant had mentioned, “Anything custom-designed starts at a minimum of two million.” Alexander was aware that Daniela frequently bestowed gifts upon Richard, yet the lavishness of this gesture was unexpected.

“Two million?” Richard gestured towards the inscriptions on the club.

“This piece is the creation of a globally acclaimed golf club artisan. It’s a singular masterpiece—not even four million could buy one.”

Alexander clutched the golf club tighter, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Daniela…

When did she acquire such wealth?

As far as he knew, ever since the death of her mother and with Katrina at the helm of the Harper family’s finances, Daniela had been cut off from any family allowance. How, then, did she manage to fund such an extravagant gift?

As they approached their meeting with the CEO of Elite Lux, Joyce was bursting with excitement, eagerly sharing every bit of insider information she had gathered.noveldrama

“The CEO of Elite Lux is a prodigy! By his teens, he was leading a team of young virtuosos, making a splash on the global scene. Against all odds, he turned a simple sketch into an overnight success. He didn’t stop there. After banking his millions, he rapidly scaled up his operations. Now, he stands as the wealthiest individual globally. Despite his wealth, he’s known for being down-to-earth and extraordinarily sharp.”

Joyce’s face was alight with admiration, her gaze locked onto an approaching stretch Lincoln, its rarity underscored by its sleek lines. She nudged Alexander enthusiastically, barely containing her glee.

“Look, Alexander! There’s the car! It must be him—the CEO of Elite Lux!”

Minutes later, the car glided to a halt in front of Luxor Tower. As Lillian emerged first, the anticipation hung heavily in the air.

Then, the rear door opened slowly.

Joyce’s eyes widened in suspense, her breath caught in her throat, ready to finally lay eyes on the fabled, dashing CEO of Elite Lux.

In the blink of an eye, her thrill morphed into sheer astonishment. Her mouth hung open, agape, as seconds stretched into what seemed like an eternity.

“Daniela!” Joyce’s voice pierced the silence, high-pitched and incredulous.

“What the hell are you doing here? And in the CEO of Elite Lux’s car, no less?”

Her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Daniela’s impeccable appearance, her mind racing to piece together the scene before her. In a scornful tone dripping with malice, she hissed, “After leaving the Harper family and being dumped by Alexander, you seduced the CEO of Elite Lux, didn’t you?”

Joyce’s gaze burned with loathing and scorn as she stared at Daniela.
