Chapter 162:
“I've been in this industry long enough to know how it works, Daniela. Sparts need top-notch materials,
while others don’t. I've made sure to balance things out to keep costs down. Believe me, the profit here is more
than fair.”
Still silent, Daniela watched him. Cedric began to fidget, wiping the sweat forming on his forehead.
She took off her glasses, grabbed a tissue from the desk, and handed it over to him. Cedric accepted it, using it
to wipe his forehead.
She gave him a slight, almost tired smile.
“The more you talk, the more it feels like you're just trying to coff as innocent.”
His eyes widened in surprise.
“What? No! That's not true!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis voice dropped, carrying a note of grievance, as if the accusation stung him deeply.
Daniela rested her chin on her hand and motioned for him to take a seat across from her.
After he sat down, she pushed a sheet of paper towards him.
“This is the payment schedule from here on out.”
Cedric didn’t even spare a glance at the paper, quickly blurting out, “That's not needed.”

Daniela interlaced her fingers on the desk and looked him in the eye.
“Then I'll just cancel the contract.”
She grabbed her calculator, tapping it with a small frown.
“Letfigure out what | owe you for the penalties.”
Cedric went still, a chill creeping in. No matter how sharp he was in business, Daniela always had a way of
trapping him completely.
“Fine. Letat least offer you a discount.”
“Seriously, you don’t need to do this.”
Just then, Ryan stepped into the room, catching the moment. It wasn’t exactly common to see someone turning
down money like that.
Daniela meticulously calculated the final settlement figures and presented Cedric with an impressive 80% profit
margin.
She further sweetened the deal by reserving five expansive floors in the upcoming skyscraper for Phillips Group's
office space. Cedric, fervently punching numbers into his calculator, suddenly realized his oversight—his good
fortune had inadvertently cat a cost.
As he stepped out of the building, a veil of frustration shadowed his expression.
Numbers were her playground, and his skills simply couldn't match her extraordinary intellect.
Lillian couldn’t hold back her frustration any longer.
“Honestly, Cedric, you're acting like a total coward! What's got you so terrified?”
Ryan observed the exchange with keen interest, his arms folded tightly against his chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLillian continued, “Just open up to her! Admit you're smitten.
You're clearly putting in the effort; so what's holding you back? See how she takes it! Or are you really just going
to hide behind this ‘just friends’ facade?”
Cedric’s frustration reached its peak.
“I want to confess, | really do. But every t| approach her, her piercing gaze and her unyielding grasp of the
data intimidate me. I'm used to the rough and tumble of construction sites, not the sharp world of numbers.
Each t| try to speak, her incisive stare cutsoff. What can | do?”
