Chapter 1190:


    Niks swallowed his pride, clenching his teeth. “Fine!”


    Dani nodded. “You can bring one secretary in.”


    Niks narrowed his eyes, fists clenched, a heavy resentment settling in his chest. He toyed with the idea of staging some kind of act, maybe even feigning an injury, just to get closer to her without much hassle.


    The temptation was strong. But when he looked up at Dani’s indifferent profile, he didn’t have the courage to take the risk.


    In this world, there were few who couldpare to Cedric. And Niks knew, deep down, he wasn’t one of them.


    He couldn’t afford to gamble on it.


    Niks possessed a sharp awareness of human nature, especially his own. A sense of indignation bubbled up within him. He spun on his heel and set off in search of Cedric.


    A quick nce to the living room revealed that Dani had already stepped out to the garden to take a call. A wave of relief washed over Niks.


    His gazended on Cedric, who was absorbed in peeling oranges, preparing to squeeze juice for Dani.


    Niks rolled his eyes in disbelief. “Cedric, you’re like a servant who’s too devoted to his work.”


    Cedric, undeterred, kept his focus on the oranges, entirely ignoring Niks’ment.


    Once more, Niks rolled his eyes in exasperation.


    Suddenly, it struck him—Cedric had never been the warmest person. He was detached from most people and things. While Dani was distant, Cedric was outright cold, caring for no one but her.


    He had a habit of disregarding others, his attention fixated obsessively on just one individual. Someone like that was far too detached.

    Niks was certain that if he had discussed the secretary issue with Cedric, he wouldn’t have been as amodating as Dani. Dani mighte off as cold, but there was a hidden softness beneath that exterior. But Cedric had none of that. His shifts in demeanor were reserved only for Dani.


    People saw Cedric as he appeared with Dani, which made them unconsciously believe he was easygoing. In reality, that was far from the truth.


    This realization made Niks furrow his brow. “Cedric, you’re the head of Lone Wolf, right? Dani has no idea, does she?”


    Cedric’s hands moved steadily as he…


    Cedric washed the fruit, unaffected. Niks paused. “What? Did I get it wrong? Or should I just ask Dani to be sure?”


    As Niks was about to take a step forward, a voice rang out from behind him, apanied by the sound of running water.


    “You think I’m scared of you?”


    Niks turned to see Cedric loading the oranges into the machine, watching as the sweet juice flowed into the ss.


    Niks narrowed his eyes at Cedric. “What are you trying to say?”


    Cedric’s voice was calm but cold. “I’m not interested in you or whatever you’re connected to, but if you keep pushing me, neither you nor anyone behind you will enjoy the consequences.”
