?Chapter 211:


    Dani nibbled on a small piece of bread as her eyes skimmed through her schedule for the day.


    Lillian suddenly thought of a certain man from the construction site and felt a pang of sympathy. She had never witnessed such devotion, a person who asked for nothing in return—not even acknowledgment.


    She felt it would be harsh to leave Cedric working at the construction site.


    “We have an inspection today. How about we visit thend in the North District?” Dani gave a slight nod.


    Ryan, standing just a few feet away, winked desperately at Lillian, but she pretended not to notice.


    After Dani went downstairs to get to work, Ryan turned to Lillian, frowning.


    “What’s going on? Cedric asked us not to tell Dani he’s personally managing the project, so we don’t add any pressure on her.”


    Lillian crossed her arms, clearly frustrated with the two clueless men.


    “Do you want Dani to end up with Cedric or not?”


    Ryan nodded eagerly.


    “Of course, I do!”


    Lillian pressed on, “One of them has to step up, make their feelings clear, and show they’re present. Look at Alexander, he’s at Elite Lux every day. Meanwhile, Cedric’s out there getting dirty at the construction site. By the time he returns in a year, Dani and Alexander might have kids.” Ryan was visibly shocked by the thought.

    Josie appeared from the kitchen, spat in hand, clearly agreeing with the conversation.


    “Exactly! What kind of guy chases a woman while vanishing for a whole month to work at a construction site? It’s just ridiculous!”


    When Dani made her way downstairs, Alexander was already there, waiting in her office.


    He stood and greeted her with a smile.


    “Good morning.”


    Dani nodded back, sat down, and began working on herputer without a word.


    Alexander had hoped she would be a bit warmer today, but instead, she remained as indifferent as ever, maybe even a bit colder.


    “Did you see the trending topic this morning?” Alexander asked, trying to make conversation.


    Dani kept her eyes on her screen, not responding to him.


    The silence in the office began to gnaw at Alexander, his irritation building with each passing second.


    Dani’s consistent disinterest and dismissive attitude towards him had left him feeling invisible, sidelined in his own efforts.


    Now, he truly understood how she must have felt when he had ignored and neglected her all those times.


    “Is this your way of getting back at me?” Alexander asked, staring at her.


    At that moment, the secretary knocked before entering.


    “Ms. Harper, the car is downstairs, and the surveyors for thends in the South and North Districts are ready. Should we head out?”


    Dani replied, “Yes, I’m almost ready. Tell the driver to bring the car to the main entrance.”
