Chapter 1055: Daniela 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, Daniela offered a gentle smile. “There's nothing to apologize for.

Cedric offered a shy smile. "Sorry, I'll remember that t next time. Are you hungry? Daniela shook her head.
