Chapter 131:
“Who would have imagined? The great Cedric Phillips, now so cautious and humble.”
Cedric appeared unfazed by the comment, shifting the topic.
“What was Alexander's business with Daniela?”
Ryan snorted dismissively.
“What do you think? He wants her cooperation. He's angling for that North District project, but the way he clung
to her in the footage—it looked off. Just a heads-up, Cedric.
You should keep an eye out.”
Cedric’s expression hardened, his response resolute.
“Understood.”
The following morning, Cedric postponed an early appointment to visit Daniela for breakfast.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniela descended the stairs to find Cedric contemplatively resting his chin on his hand at the dining table.
She eyed him curiously, then whispered to Josie, “What's with him today?”
Josie shrugged, clearly bemused.
“Beats me. He arrived early, took a seat, and hasn't uttered a single word.”

Daniela laughed, then shouted for Lillian to cdown. Lillian appeared, yawning and complaining about her
late night, her appetite absent.
As Daniela settled at the table, Cedric preemptively served her sside dishes. She ate in measured silence,
Cedric attentively topping up her plate with each bite she took. Daniela smiled, her amusement nearly breaking
through her poised demeanor as she continued to eat quietly.
After finishing, Daniela dabbed her mouth with a napkin, then faced Cedric. Cedric, visibly uncomfortable under
her scrutiny, looked away and muttered, “What?”
Daniela smiled, probing, “You don’t usually cover early to play host. Anything you're trying to say?”
Cedric cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Not at all.”
Daniela gave a slight nod.
“Alright then, I'm off.”
At Daniela’s suggestion of departure, Cedric quickly shed his guise of indifference, blurting out, “Wait!” Daniela
chuckled and resumed her seat. Cedric propped his chin on his hand, gazing earnestly at her.
“Let’s have a conversation.”
Daniela settled comfortably.
“Alright, let's talk.”
Cedric began tentatively, “This year's economy hasn't been kind.”
Daniela met his gaze.
“True, yet Phillips Group has just secured a significant deal.
You're managing to expand, even amidst these challenges.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric paused briefly, then confessed, “However, collecting payments has been particularly tough lately.”
Daniela nodded, her expression reflective.
“That's understandable.
Yet, your company maintains robust cash flow. It's one of the few not dependent on borrowing.”
Elite Lux was the other exception.
