?Chapter 1055:


    Dani had only just recovered, yet she was already forced to address these pressing issues. The corporation’s internal debt crisis needed an urgent solution, or Elite Lux would be a sinking ship.


    Carol lowered her head, her eyes reddening. “I’m sorry. I failed to protect Elite Lux.”


    In the stillness of the night, Dani offered a gentle smile. “There’s nothing to apologize for. Elite Lux is my life’s work. No matter what they rename it, they can’t take away what’s mine.”


    Carol nced at Dani. She looked even more fragile than she had after divorcing Alexander. Yet whenever she smiled with confidence and poise, it felt as though even the greatest challenges could be ovee with ease.


    Carol inhaled sharply and nodded. “You’re right!”


    Dani stayed up, workingte into the night.


    Despite Elite Lux’s three-year stalemate, many still had faith in thepany and in Dani. She couldn’t afford to let them down. Dani hadn’t expected Carol to bring Cedric upstairs.


    “He’s been waiting downstairs. It’s cold out, so I figured I’d bring him up for a cup of coffee.”


    Cedric stood by the office door, his expression slightly gloomy, though a faint smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.


    “Is it convenient?” Cedric asked, his tone noticeably more polite than Alexander’s ever was. He didn’t step in right away, lingering in the doorway and watching her from just beyond the light.


    “Come inside,” Dani said.


    A cool breeze drifted through the doorway, carrying a faint trace of cologne that instantly sharpened Dani’s drowsy mind.

    Cedric settled on the long sofa without a word.


    Dani continued her work, but she could feel his gaze lingering on her.


    For a moment, Cedric wondered if he was caught in a beautiful dream. Otherwise, how could something he had yearned for so long be standing right before him?


    He had once lost the woman he loved. Now, with his beloved back before him, he wished for nothing more than to thank God for this moment of happiness. He even thought that losing another leg wouldn’t matter if it meant keeping this moment.


    For years, he had carried nothing but resentment towards the world that had taken her from him. But now, those dark thoughts faded away, reced by a sense of peace, as if he were the happiest man in the world. He wanted nothing else, only for her to be safe and well.


    He even forgot that Dani had lost her memory.


    Sooner orter, she would remember.


    “Cedric,” Dani finally broke the silence, setting down her pen and meeting his gaze. “How much longer are you going to stare?”


    Cedric offered a shy smile. “Sorry, I’ll remember that next time. Are you hungry?”


    Dani shook her head.


    The scent of Cedric’s cologne still lingered in the air, strangely soothing.
