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

Chapter 76:

Katrina wiped her eyes, then moved closer, leaning against his chest, which lit a spark in Caiden.

He kissed her passionately, completely caught up in the intensity of the moment.

“Okay, I’ll handle it.”

It was only then that Katrina used her charm, making sure Caiden was completely satisfied.

Caiden rested against the headboard, a wave of regret washing over him. He couldn’t understand how Daniela had become so strong-willed and unyielding. More and more, her personality reminded him of her late mother. Every time he looked at Daniela, it felt like he was face-to-face with her mother.

The sweet, gentle girl who had once followed Alexander around was nowhere to be found now.

He knew that Katrina wouldn’t let it go unless Daniela handed over the three floors of the Luxor Tower.

Caiden lit a cigarette, stepped out onto the balcony, and dialed Alexander’s number.

“Hey, Alexander. Are you free tomorrow?”

Alexander, still at work, replied, “What’s up?”

“There’s a charity gala tomorrow night. Do you have time to attend? I’d like you to take Joyce along to help her expand her horizons.”

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Alexander responded, “Sure.”

Just as Alexander was about to hang up, Caiden added, “You and Daniela were married. I saw her name on the guest list for tomorrow night. Joyce is being stubborn about those floors in Luxor Tower.

You remember how Daniela used to listen to you, right? Maybe you could talk to her.”

Alexander paused, his grip tightening on the phone.

“She doesn’t listen to me anymore.”

Caiden chuckled softly.

“She used to listen to you, didn’t she? I know things were a bit rocky between you two, but let’s be real—you’re planning on marrying Joyce, right? That makes me your future father-in-law. We’re practically family now, so how about doing me this small favor? It won’t take much, just a few words, really. I’m counting on you here.”

Before Alexander could respond, Caiden hung up the phone. Richard, sitting in Alexander’s office, sneered.

“That old fox is too clever for his own good.”

Alexander recalled Daniela’s cold, indifferent expression from the night before.

“She won’t agree,” he muttered to Richard.

Richard waved it off.

“Let Caiden handle it. Don’t offend Daniela because of Katrina. By the way, have you heard? Daniela just secured that massive piece of land in the North District—the one nobody else had the courage to go after.”

Alexander looked up, his eyes widening with surprise.

Richard gave a thumbs-up.

“I’ll give her credit. That land is a goldmine, but the seller wants full payment upfront. Everyone was eyeing it, but no one had the nerve or resources to take it on. And Daniela just swooped in and grabbed it like it was nothing. Alexander, our family’s in the renovation and construction business.

You’re going to the gala tomorrow, right? Make sure you land the renovation contract for that property. First, it’ll help rebuild a connection with Daniela. Second, it’s a huge project that could bring in a fortune for us. And third, it’ll relieve some of the pressure on our company next year.”noveldrama

Alexander was reluctant. The idea of trying to win Daniela over for money didn’t sit right with him. He had tried to talk to her a few times lately, but each time, she ignored him completely.
