?Chapter 847:


    Upon their arrival at Phillips Group, Dani stepped out briskly, with Cedric a few paces behind. To an onlooker, Dani might have appeared to be the CEO. She paused, waiting for Cedric, who seemed reluctant to close the distance, making it feel as if she were leading a tour of the workce.


    Once they entered his office, Cedric promptly locked the door.


    Outside, his secretary rubbed his sore nose, the slight bump still lingering, and let out a quiet chuckle.


    It looked like the tension between them had finally eased, and they were back on better terms.


    The recent days had drained him; Cedric had been overworking himself, and the secretary had not slept in 48 hours.


    Inside the office, Cedric brewed a cup of coffee for Dani before sitting down across from her.


    The skies outside mirrored the mood indoors, heavy and somber.


    Cedric was grappling with feelings of injustice and the fear of losing Dani.


    “Wasn’t there supposed to be a meeting?” Dani asked.


    “I actually wanted to talk,” Cedric replied. Evading the issue any longer was futile, especially since Dani appeared prepared to address it, leaving no room for further avoidance.


    Attempting to assume his typical negotiating posture, Cedric found himself unsettled by just one look at Dani’s expression.


    “I need to be honest about that night at the charity g. I did it on purpose. I apologize, Dani,” he said candidly.


    Dani acknowledged his admission with a nod, taking a sip of her coffee. “Okay.”

    “It wasn’t my intention to cause you embarrassment. I was just feeling overwhelmed and, unfortunately, chose the most destructive way to provoke a reaction from you. We were both unhappy. I assure you, no matter what the future holds, I won’t repeat such an action,” Cedric expressed earnestly, his voice full of regret. “I really missed you during my business trip, but I was too scared to reach out. Josie mentioned you’ve been having trouble sleeping. I guess it was my absence.”


    “You’re right, it was because you were gone,” Dani said straightforwardly.


    Her confirmationforted Cedric, yet he restrained any burgeoning hope.


    He even pondered if Dani valued him merely for the sce he provided. Such sce was easily receable. Dani, with her charm, could easily attract countless admirers far and wide. He felt his offerings were light inparison.


    “The day I came to your office, I saw a document on your desk. What was it about?” Cedric paused for a few seconds before finally asking, “I caught the word ‘agreement,’ but I didn’t see the rest. What was it?”


    After a tense pause, Dani responded, “It’s a divorce agreement.”


    Dani wasing on a little too direct.


    A wave of unease tightened Cedric’s chest, making it hard to breathe. He fought to keep hisposure, ncing away to avoid locking eyes with her. “You want to divorce me?”


    Dani gave a small nod.


    Before she could utter a word, Cedric shot to his feet, his emotions slipping out of control.


    Dani froze for a moment before hearing Cedric’s firm deration. “I don’t agree!”


    His face darkened, his eyes cooled, but beneath it all lingered a trace of hesitation.
