Chapter 620:


    With one hand behind her back and the other extended, Nina offered a shy smile.


    “Cedric, you were my senior from high school, and I’m so happy to see you again at Elite Lux. It’s great that we’ll be working together once more.”


    Cedric appeared taken aback.


    Nina’s expression softened, her eyes misting over, yet she maintained a strained smile.


    “We attended the same high school, though you were quite prominent, so you may not recall me. We once coborated on a ss project, or perhaps a bulletin board.”


    Cedric struggled to remember, responding with a polite nod. As he moved to enter Dani’s office, Nina called out to him again.


    “Would you like something to drink? Can I get you anything?” Nina’s voice floated gently, apanied by a light smile, seemingly innocent.


    Cedric looked at her and replied briefly, “No, thank you.”


    Unfazed, Nina maintained her smile, keeping up with him.


    “Maybe you’re not a fan of coffee? I’m really good at making fresh juice.”


    As soon as Cedric heard this, his expression slowly hardened.


    “Nina Dury.”


    Nina’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she fixed her gaze on Cedric.


    “Yes, I’m here.”

    Cedric’s expression showed a hint of annoyance.


    “Remember, you were employed by Elite Lux, not Phillips Group.


    Your duties are to Dani, not to me. Focus on her needs instead of mine.”


    Nina’s smile abruptly stiffened.


    Cedric nced at Lillian, who seemed to be enjoying the exchange with a hint of amusement.


    “Could you please take your colleague away?”


    With that, Cedric turned and entered Dani’s office.


    Nina bit her lip, her eyes welling up with unshed tears.


    Lillian let out a quietugh.


    “Well, I’m up for either coffee or juice. Mind making one for me?”


    Silently, Nina nodded and walked toward the pantry.


    Entering the office, Cedric found that Dani was not there but in a meeting. The previous night, he had acquired a splendid sapphire jewelry piece at an auction. Intending to surprise Dani, he was about to ce it in her lounge when the door to the meeting room swung open.


    Without looking back, Cedric assumed it was Lillian.


    “Keep an eye on your team members. Ensure they don’t get ideas above their station.”


    After making his point, Cedric retrieved the jewelry from its bag and set it on the lounge table, opening the box to inspect it. Nina stood behind him, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee. As she nced over, her eyesnded on the jewelry, which radiated a captivating green shimmer. She gasped in awe.


    This piece was said to have been part of an ancient queen’s dowry to her daughter, an item of immense value. Many collectors had aggressively contested for it the previous night. Ultimately, a mysterious affluent buyer acquired the jewelry, leaving behind a note that read, “A priceless jewel for a beloved.”


    Nina stared at Cedric, her expression one of disbelief. Rumors had circted about Cedric’s infatuation with Dani, but could he truly justify spending billions on a piece of jewelry just to win her over?
