?Chapter 1329:


    She sat on the bed, her eyes resting on the “caterpir” at her feet. “Cedric, are you seriously trying to act cute?”


    He peeked up at her with a grin. “I’m just crashing on the floor. I’m wiped out, and the downstairs bed is soaked. Can I just stay here tonight?” His voice carried just enough misery to stir sympathy.


    There were plenty of rooms in the vi, but he made it sound like Dani’s floor was thest safe space on Earth.


    She looked at him in silence.


    A part of her wanted to ask if he was the Lone Wolf’s leader.


    But the words stayed tucked inside.


    Whether he was or wasn’t didn’t matter anymore. He was just Cedric.


    And deep down, she already knew.


    Dani lifted the nket,y on the bed, and said gently, “Just go to sleep.”


    Cedric immediately popped into the group chat. “Mission aplished! Yeah!”


    Ryan asked, “All that joy over sleeping on a floor?”


    Lillian added, “It’s not just any floor. It’s her floor.”


    Cedric dropped in a crying emoji. “You two better show up and help me out!” Then he set his phone aside and shut his eyes.


    Normally, he had no trouble sleeping. But that night, the stillness felt different. Hey there quietly, eyes fixed on the ceiling, heart racing.


    “Are you asleep?” he whispered.


    No reply.


    He blinked and tried again, softer this time, “Honey?”

    Dani wasted no time.


    She had bought the vi right across from McCoy Group’s headquarters, and the decorating began not long after.


    When it came to interiors, Cedric knew his stuff.


    He led his team with sharpmands and clear purpose. Pride showed in every step. Thest time, he had to fight just to get the job. But this time, there was no contest. Dani handed it to him without question.


    From the other building, Hamilton stood watching.


    “That ce looks like it’s falling apart. What do they even hope to get out of it? Even if they go all out, how could they match McCoy Group’s standard? We brought in the best designers in the world to build this ce. That building over there won’t evene close.”


    The secretary nced his way, unsure whether he was hoping Cedric would fail or not.


    Still, Hamilton didn’t sound particrly bitter.


    Meanwhile, the McCoy brothers had gathered to look as well.


    Niks gave a dryugh. “How great can it really be? He might have talent, but he’s still a cripple.”


    Kohen added, “That’s right. A project that big? He doesn’t even have a full team. Is he nning to do it all by himself? Come on, he’s bluffing.”
