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

Chapter 775:

Looking away, Natalie answered dispassionately, “Understood.” Once she finished her breakfast, Natalie set off for work.

Nina had been observing Natalie intently and later slipped into Daniela’s office, murmuring, “Something’s unusual with Natalie today.” Daniela quirked an eyebrow, amusement flickering across her face. “Is that so?”

Nina explained, “She’s unusually cheerful, wearing that lavish dress, and even changed her lipstick shade. Usually, she has a long face. Today, she seems different. Something’s wrong.”

Daniela simply nodded. “We’ll let her keep her mysteries.” Still concerned, Nina kept her gaze sharply on Natalie.

Entering the office casually, Natalie asked, “What mysteries?”

Daniela laughed lightly and asked, “What mysteries? Surely, you know?” Natalie’s smile briefly wavered.

Was Daniela implying something about her?

Natalie remained frozen in a daze, while Daniela abruptly lifted her head, their eyes locking in an instant.

A sharp, unwavering clarity lit up Daniela’s eyes, stopping Natalie in her tracks.noveldrama

“Are you the one keeping mysteries?” Daniela pressed.

Natalie saw Daniela’s smile vanish, her expression growing serious. Her heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, “What do you mean, Daniela? I’m lost.”

It was only when Daniela’s smile returned that Natalie exhaled in relief.

“Why the worry? I was merely joking,” Daniela said.

Natalie exited the office, her heart pounding erratically, a surge of fear washing over her.

At that moment, something in Daniela’s look hinted at her deeper awareness.

Natalie took a hearty swig of water, seeking solace.

She let out a laugh, trying to convince herself. “Why should I be scared? Daniela won’t be around much longer. What threat could she pose? Surely, she’s no match for Cealmaur’s mercenaries. Absurd!”

Time slowly ticked away.

Natalie greeted the first day with a broad smile.

Her nerves were steady on that initial day, trusting in Cealmaur.

The second day found Natalie still smiling.

She reassured herself, given it was only day two, that assassination could happen in an instant; patience was key.

Then came the third day.

And the fourth day drifted by.

Yet, all remained quiet.

By the fifth day, Natalie found herself obsessively watching Daniela’s office door, anticipating the moment Daniela would meet her unexpected end.

Cealmaur was known for their stealthy executions; escaping their grasp seemed impossible for Daniela.

As the sixth day dawned, doubts began to cloud Natalie’s mind. Why was Cealmaur delaying? Did they always operate so close to the wire? Such delays made her question whether the deed would ever be done. Natalie’s nerves started to unravel under the weight of her thoughts.
