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

Chapter 29:

“Eight thousand dollars…”

Red-faced and clearly flustered, Joshua shoved the golf club back into the box.

“I’m terribly sorry, Ms. Harper. These two… well, their judgment can be a bit off at times!”

He then spun around to confront Joyce, his voice thick with frustration.

“Joyce! Are you seriously this clueless? This is Ms. Harper, the CEO of Elite Lux! Her empire includes golf courses that span thousands of acres, and here you are offering her a golf club worth a mere eight thousand dollars. Are you out of your damn mind? This is simply outrageous!”

In a fluster, Joshua scrambled for the other box.

Upon opening it, his features relaxed, a look of relief washing over him.

Now, this was a gift befitting the occasion.

With both hands, he presented the box to Daniela.noveldrama

Daniela, who had so far seemed unimpressed, raised an eyebrow. Her eyes glinted with a touch of irony as she inspected the box.

She reached inside and drew out a stunning, custom-tailored golf club, its flawless finish radiating sophistication.

Joshua added, “Ms. Harper, please consider the first one just a small extra token. This right here is the true gift meant for you.”

As a golf enthusiast, Joshua immediately recognized its value—it was worth at least ten million dollars.

A smile tugged subtly at the corners of Daniela’s mouth as she studied the club.

“Is this golf club really for me?”

The second she saw it, recognition washed over her—it was the very gift she had bestowed upon Richard.

Alexander’s face clouded over. He remained silent, choosing not to answer Daniela’s query.

To him, a golf club was merely a piece of sports equipment. Surely, Daniela couldn’t actually recognize this specific one, could she?

Daniela pointed at the grip of the club, where the surname “Bennett” was elegantly engraved.

“I didn’t know the Bennett family was involved in making golf clubs.”

Upon hearing that, Joshua suddenly stiffened, his smile faltering completely. He peered down at the golf club, and a crimson flush spread across his face. Seriously, even the dumbest person alive would know this club was custom-made.

“Re-gifting, huh?” Daniela pressed, her voice even but laced with unmistakable sarcasm.

“Mr. Bennett, you certainly have a talent for business.”

Joshua was taken aback. Having just returned from overseas, he was utterly baffled by Daniela’s insinuation.

At that moment, Lillian stepped in, her fingers wrapping around the club’s handle.

“If Mr. Bennett is going to treat our boss’s generosity like trash, then we’re more than entitled to take it back,” she said, pulling the golf club back.

The atmosphere turned excruciatingly tense, the silence bearing down like a merciless weight, suffocating any chance of recovery. The only disruption was Joyce, muttering incredulously to herself, “What the hell? How on earth could this even be possible?”

She couldn’t accept the revelation that Daniela, of all people, was the CEO of Elite Lux. Daniela had been disowned and discarded by her own father, Caiden. How on earth had she ascended to such heights?
