Chapter 1079:
Cedric was taken aback by Carol's change in attitude.
Carol shrugged. "I don't know you that well, but I've noticed Nina holds you in high regard-like family. And, well, Ryan and Lillian called me yesterday-told me to ease up on you."
Cedric offered a polite smile. "Appreciate it."
By the time Daniela returned, the conference room stood silent and deserted.
The only light in the office came from a dim desk lamp.
Carol glanced up. "Cedric dropped by with sushi-said he made it himself. And he waited for..." She checked the time. "Eight hours. Alexander was the second last to leave. He said he'd be back tomorrow."
