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

Chapter 1180:

Nikolas hurried to catch up with Cedric.

Cedric was texting Mose. “Forget it. I’m not meeting them. It’s just too much hassle.”

Mose responded, “Alright. Anyway, you’re only focused on your wife’s safety. But I don’t get it. You’re so capable yourself. Why spend all your wealth just to keep her safe?”

Cedric replied, “What do you know? If I acted and she saw, she would be scared. She’s timid, unlike you—tough and hardened.”

Mose couldn’t hold back. “Do you realize how much you’ve spent just to avoid scaring your wife? Hundreds of billions! And ten years of your time. And you don’t even care?”

Cedric genuinely couldn’t care less.

He was a master at making money, but to him, wealth was the least of his concerns.

However, he couldn’t bear the thought of Daniela being afraid of him. The mere idea of Daniela discovering his past and distancing herself from him sliced through his heart like a blade.

Mose couldn’t help but tease, “A hopeless romantic! That’s genuinely terrifying!”

Cedric shot back, “You don’t get it.”

Mose replied, “Alright, if you’re certain you don’t want to meet with them, I’ll inform them.”

Cedric was about to respond when Nikolas suddenly leaned in from behind. “Who’s this person you’re meeting?”

In an instant, Cedric powered off his phone and, with a fluid motion, sent Nikolas tumbling over his shoulder.

“Ouch!” Nikolas lay sprawled on the floor, clutching his side. “Have you lost your mind, Cedric?”

Cedric was just as surprised. It was a knee-jerk reaction. “Why do you always sneak up behind me? Are you insane?”noveldrama

Nikolas, equally confused and frustrated, shot back, “How was I supposed to know you’d react so fast? Help me up! My back’s killing me!”

His secretary rushed to assist him. Meanwhile, Nikolas’ mind raced with thoughts. “My back’s just as hurt as Cedric’s leg. Maybe Daniela will feel sorry for me too.”

In Nikolas’ eyes, Cedric being the apple of Daniela’s eye felt like Cedric had claimed every ounce of luck the McCoy family could offer. If Daniela had a soft spot for him too, he’d be the leader of the McCoy family, without a doubt.

After all, both of them shared striking good looks. Whatever Cedric had, Nikolas could have it too.

And now, he was hurt far worse than Cedric.

If Daniela could feel sympathy for Cedric, why couldn’t she feel the same for him?

Nikolas, wincing with pain as he clutched his waist, pushed open the door to Daniela’s office.

“Daniela, I’m hurt,” he called out.

Daniela, deep in the middle of a video conference, frowned when the goofball barged in.

“If you’re hurt, see a doctor. Why come to me?” she snapped.
