Chapter 1441: Kohen opened his mouth, about to pitch himself more earnestly.
But Daniela simply said, "Okay." Kohen froze, startled by how easily she agreed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe stood there for a beat. "Seriously?" Daniela still didn't look up, replying with indifference, "Isn't that what you requested?" Kohen glanced at Daniela, and in that instant, he realized why both Nikolas and Damon were drawn to her. She possessed a rare magnetism that made her stand out effortlessly. Had he not been a McCoy, he might have been swayed by the unexpected trust she showed him. But sadly, he bore the McCoy name. And with it chis ambition to seize the family legacy.
His goal was to find out Daniela's weaknesses and tell his father.
"Thank you, Daniela. I'll give it my best," he promised.
Daniela gave a curt nod. "You may go now." After Kohen left, Carol stepped into the room. "Why would he pick construction and engineering? It means working outside no matter the weather, and it's seriously tiring." Daniela gave a dry, ironic smirk.
Carol was briefly confused, then it dawned on her.
Kohen returned, blueprint in hand, and knocked on her door. "Daniela, there are flaws in this layout. Look here— and here. These sections are problematic." Daniela gave it a quick look. "Design issues should go to the department manager." Kohen cast his gaze downward, a hint of vulnerability in his demeanor. "It wouldn't be right forto criticize the manager's work so soon after joining, and I'm not completely sure myself. Would you mind coming withto the site for a brief look? Your questions would carry more weight than mine.” The moment he said that, Carol instantly realized-Kohen was testing if Daniela was afraid of heights.
Carol's eyes lit with fury, her fist tightening at her side.
Daniela stayed composed. "I'm not going. The manager will join you shortly." Kohen pressed on, "But this section's vital. And the site is near the villa. A quick check tomorrow morning would take fifteen minutes at most." Daniela laid her pen aside and leaned back slightly. "You seem very enthusiastic about this.” Kohen answered, "Certainly, it's a crucial section of the project."
Daniela fixed her gaze on Kohen silently for a long moment Kohen's eyes shifted nervously under her steady stare.
Daniela smiled. "Really? Since it's so vital, I'll accompany you to inspect it e tomorrow. Kohen's eyes lit up. “Perfect! Then after breakfast tomorrow, we'll go together." Content, he turned and left.
Later that evening, Damon cback from the casino and heard from Carol that Kohen Danielato che tended to brind the project the following day. Damon skipped his meal and pulled Kohen aside from the dining table.
