Chapter 1189: Nikolas didn't respond, still walking without a second thought. Once inside the car, his secretary glanced at him, puzzled. "Sir, do you think Alexander will agree to becyour secretary?" "He will." The secretary remained confused.
Nikolas smirked. “Alexander is the type who talks a big game. Life and death, all casually discussed. But when it comes tto act, he hesitates. Offer him enough, and he'll bend. At the end of the day, men like him are no different from most-" "They'll chase after whatever benefits them and run from anything that might harm them." The secretary nodded in understanding.
"But the real issue is someone like Cedric! He's obsessive, and his motives are pure. A man like that can't be swayed by anything you offer. He knows exactly what he possesses and what he's willing to give. No matter how much you throw at him, he remains untouched. Those types are the hardest to deal with!" Nikolas added, a hint of irritation in his voice.

So, when his secretary informed him that Alexander had agreed to the collaboration proposal later that evening, Nikolas was hardly surprised.
"Collaboration proposal? He's just trying to save face. If it weren't for his seven years with Daniela, I wouldn't even waste my twith someone like him!" Nikolas always carried himself with that air of superiority.
Daniela was engrossed in a book in the living room when Nikolas straightened himself and cleared his throat. He felt a strange unease, unsure why his usual confidence faded in her presence. He felt as though he was her subordinate.
"Daniela, I've secured a preliminary cooperation agreement with Phillips Group. Also, I've recently hired a new secretary. You don't mind, do you?" Nikolas asked.

Nikolas watched Daniela, irritation lacing his tone.
Daniela, still lost in her book, said casually, "Passthe tissues." Nikolas handed her the tissues and grumbled, "I'm not your servant!" Daniela didn't look up. "Oh, really?" Her indifferent tone only fueled Nikolas' frustration.

Nikolas shot back, "Why not? My secretary handles my meals and clothing, which are crucial to me.”
Daniela glanced up at the privileged young man before her. "Because this is my home, if you want more freedom, you're welcto move to a hotel."
Her sharp reply left him momentarily speechless. He glanced toward the kitchen and tried to negotiate. "After att, I'm Cedric's brother! I should have sprivileges others don't. It's just a secretary; you can't be this strict with me!"
Daniela seemed amused by the word கு 'brother.' She glanced at Nikolas and said, "Then perhaps you should show the respect due to your brother."
