?Chapter 806:


    Irritated, Cedric wrapped up the meeting in record time. Instead of heading downstairs, he strode straight back to his office. This time, he was resolute. No matter what Dani said, he would make her promise never to keep anything from him again.


    He wanted to be part of every aspect of her life.


    Cedric knew Kenny was utterly obsessed withputing techniques. The guy had been recruited with a hefty paycheck as an industry expert, but after one encounter with Dani, he waspletely hooked, always begging for a chance to visit her at Elite Lux. Cedric had kept him at bay.


    Now that he finally had his chance, Kenny wasted no time in picking her brain.


    As Cedric waited for Dani to wrap things up and return, he mulled over how to keep his pride intact. A man couldn’t let a woman call all the shots. Otherwise, where would that leave him in the family hierarchy down the line?


    He wasn’t one to fuss over family status, but Dani constantly dangling herself as bait? That didn’t sit well with him. That kind of thing had to be put to an end—permanently.


    His decision was final.


    After knocking out two tasks, Cedric, growing impatient, snapped at…


    His secretary sighed, clearly frustrated. “Is Kenny’s brain really worth the sry I pay him? How long does it take to ask one damn question?”


    The secretary checked the clock—barely ten minutes had gone by. “Why not head down and check for yourself?”


    Cedric crossed his arms, stubborn. “Not happening.” If he caved now, she’d just pull another stunt next time and think she could smooth things over the same way.


    ?????? ?????? ?????????????????? ??????????: g???????ν??????????????


    He couldn’t have that.


    So, he held firm, waiting for her toe to him instead.


    Thirty minutes had passed.


    Cedric furrowed his brows, clearly annoyed. “How much longer must I wait? Why doesn’t Kenny just have my wife move into his tech department?”


    Under her breath, the secretary whispered, “Kenny would appreciate that, but aren’t you the one who would hate it?” She kept her voice low. She was well aware that Cedric was genuinely angry.


    After forty minutes, Cedric’s expression turned stormy.


    His observant secretary eximed with a dramatic sigh, “Oh dear.” Cedric’s eyebrows knitted together even tighter.


    Then, the secretary said, “Kenny is so careless. How could he leave the documents that needed signing up here? I need to take them down to him.”


    No sooner had she finished speaking than the documents disappeared from her hands.


    She watched Cedric walk toward the elevator.


    With a smirk, the secretary followed him, saying, “Mr. Phillips, please excuse my honesty. As a man, you shouldn’t be too proud. Your wife offered you a way out earlier, but you turned it down. Now, you’re chasing after her yourself. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”


    Cedric briefly closed his eyes.


    The secretary struggled to hold back herughter.


    In negotiations, Cedric was alwaysposed, yet now he couldn’t remain seated for forty minutes.


    Dani was amazing!


    She was not only a titan in the business world but also very skilled at managing her husband.
