Chapter 129:
Daniela dismissed his remark with a nonchalant wave of her hand. She attempted to brush past him, but
Alexander extended his arm, barring her way.
“Was there something more?”
“Yes,” he replied tersely, his tone cutting through the chill air.
Daniela paused, giving him a fleeting glance.
“Go ahead.”
Initially, Alexander had resolved to let Daniela seek him out.
Yet, a nagging unease twisted in his gut. Daniela had a knack for poor decisions, and if she aligned herself with
another company instead of the Bennett Group, it would inevitably drag him into yet another conflict.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a moment of deliberation, he opted to confront the issue directly.
“I've got a deal you might find interesting.”
He fixed his gaze on her, her features bathed in the ethereal moonlight. His fingers tightened into a fist, then he
consciously relaxed, striving to smooth his expression.
As he spoke again, his voice softened into a husky whisper, carrying a hint of intimacy.
“This isn’t the right spot for this conversation. Let's head up to your apartment.”
Daniela eyed Alexander with a mixture of confusion and caution, taking a deliberate step back.

“I don’t think that would be appropriate.”
A shadow of frustration quickly passed over Alexander's face, his annoyance clearly rising to the surface.

For a woman, being loyal—showing devotion to one man—is paramount.”
The night breeze played with Daniela’s hair, adding a tic flair as she faced him, her features sculpted with
both shock and disdain.
“Are you suggesting that | should keep chasing you around?”
A flicker of regret passed through Alexander's eyes. He brought a fist to his mouth, disguising a cough.
“What | mean is that you shouldn't be so fickle.”
Daniela remained silent, observing him closely. Once upon a time, this clumsy, awkward aspect of Alexander
might have amused her, even seemed charming—as if she were glimpsing a part of him that remained hidden
from everyone else.
Those pathetic days were dead and buried. Daniela wasn’t that reckless fool anymore.
Daniela turned to leave, but not before casting a parting shot over her shoulder.
“It’s late, and frankly, you being here reeks of desperation. As for your so-called proposition, partnerships require
integrity—something I’m not sure you understand. There's no common ground between Elite Lux’s principles and

interested.”
Daniela’s rejection was absolute, leaving no room for argument or delusion.
Alexander was left motionless, shock rendering him silent.
It took a few moments before his secretary approached, piercing the heavy silence.
“Mr. Bennett, Ms. Harper has already gone inside. Perhaps we should also leave?”
