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

Chapter 757:

Furious, Natalie flung her phone onto the desk.

“I swear, I’ll strangle these gossiping idiots!”

Her whole body trembled with rage.

“Cedric is working in Elite Lux these days. If he sees this garbage, what’s he going to think of me? Am I going to lose my chance?”

At this moment, the elevator doors slid open, and Cedric stepped out. The soft glow from outside illuminated his sharp features, stirring an unexpected flutter in Natalie’s heart. She realized that no matter how much time had passed, her feelings for Cedric had never wavered. If anything, they had only grown stronger.

“Cedric,” she called out.

Cedric was discussing Elite Lux’s security upgrades with Ryan when he heard her.

When he spotted Natalie, he stopped mid-conversation and asked, “Ms. Dury, do you need something?”

Natalie couldn’t help but feel a sting at how distant and formal Cedric addressed her.noveldrama

“Cedric, we used to go to the same school. There’s no need to be so formal. Just call me Natalie.”

Elyse observed the exchange from a distance, anticipation gleaming in her eyes. In her mind, Cedric was the ideal candidate for a son-in-law.

Cedric’s patience was wearing thin.

“What is it?”

“I need to tell you something.” Natalie hesitated, glancing at Ryan beside her.

Ryan crossed his arms, making it clear he had no plans to leave.

Natalie bit her bottom lip.

“I just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding. The things said in that group chat about Linden and I—”

“What group chat?” Cedric cut her off, turning to Ryan.

“Is my wife in it?”

Natalie’s face darkened, and she was on the verge of tears. Was Daniela the only person Cedric truly cared about?

Ryan nodded.

“Yeah, she is. Do you want me to add you?”

“No!” Natalie blurted out, panic creeping into her voice.

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just a silly group chat. If you’re not in it, don’t worry about it…”

“I’m in,” Cedric interrupted.

“So, what’s being discussed?”

Immediately, as Cedric entered the chat, he could sense the hostility.

Ryan skimmed through the messages before reading one aloud.

“That slut, pretending to be aloof, still has the nerve to seduce Ms. Harper’s man. She should take a good look in the mirror. She’s only fit for Linden. In my opinion, Ms. Harper shouldn’t tolerate having her around.”

As he passed by Natalie, Cedric asked Ryan indifferently, “Who’s supposed to be seducing me?”

Ryan quickly caught up to Cedric.
