Could it really just be digestive issues? His voice held concern. "Have you at least consulted a doctor?" Daniela remained silent, and for sstrange reason, her silence put Alexander at ease. For a fleeting moment, he had wondered if she was pregnant.

Alexander let out a soft chuckle. "Only ten minutes? Con, we've known each other for years. Cedric won't get jealous over a simple conversation, will he? I mean no harm. I just thought we could talk and set the past aside." Daniela took another slow sip of water, her expression calm yet unreadable. "I deal with countless matters every day and firmly believe in avoiding unnecessary conflicts, unless someone givesa reason to act. As long as you stay away from those I care about, I'll have no reason to stand against you." A warning, clear as day. Alexander caught the message loud and clear but pretended not to. He smiled. "We were close once, weren't we? If you're so protective, why haven't I ever been on that list?" The moment the words left his mouth, Daniela felt that snauseating sensation stir within her again.
"Daniela, I have no bad intentions. We both have a place in Olisvine, in the business world. Peace fosters success, don't you agree? We're both at the top. It makes more sense to trust each other than to waste energy on suspicion. I'm offering an olive branch, nothing more. Why not stand together instead of apart?" As he spoke, Alexander lifted his glass and tapped it lightly against Daniela's. “The past is behind us, not worth dwelling on. Why not start fresh-as friends?"

I understand that you have no interest in joining, and I won't pressure you. But you need to operate within this environment. Working withmeans working smoothly with all these enterprises. Doesn't that make things easier for everyone? I don't know your reasons for going after those eight individuals, but if you intend to proceed, just say the word. You won't have to lift a finger-I'll handle them for you." Daniela let out a dry scoff. "Oh? I prefer taking care of things myself." Alexander shook his head, a nostalgic smile tugging at his lips. "Still as stubborn as ever, just like when we were kids. But now that I'm president of the association, any action I take against them would be considered restructuring. However, if you take action, it will be seen as a failure on my part. Daniela, the last thing I want is to stand against you. I give you my word-within a year, those eight will be gone, and no one will even realize it happened. Just stay out of it, alright? If not for me, then at least for Chace. He's my friend now, and if this turns into a public mess, it won't be easy for him either, don't you think?" Chace Truman had been Brylee's friend.

When Brylee died, Chace had overseen the arrangements and hosted the funeral.
Alexander had Chace step in as a mediator. Chace had said to Daniela, "If your mother were watching over you, she'd want you to be happy. If Любе she knew her death was keeping you shackled, it would break her heart. A mother's only wish is for her child's happiness. You might not see it now, but one day, you will."
