Chapter 21:
Moving closer, the man beside him spoke in a hushed tone.
“This guy’s not one to mess with. Rumor has it, he just snagged the Skyline Tower right across from the Luxor
Tower! Talk about a bold move. Looks like he’s setting up to be neighbors with Elite Lux’s CEO—what a
powerhouse pairing!”
This revelation forced Alexander to proceed with measured steps. He cast a quick, cautious glance at Cedric,
who, sensing the attention, locked eyes with him in a cold, piercing stare.
Alexander acknowledged him with a glass raised high, toasting to the ambitious newcomer from a distance.
However, no sooner had he replaced his glass on the table than Cedric averted his eyes, ignoring Alexander for

Alexander shook his head in response, his expression unchanging.

decisive. The man possesses a remarkable shrewdness; crossing him could invite relentless retribution.
Frightening thought, isn’t it?”

“See, Alexander? Bringingalong was the best decision you made. | asked my friend, and she toldthe
CEO of Elite Lux is handsand a golf aficionado. It seems all these high-flying CEOs have a penchant for the

Alexander cast a skeptical glance her way, his brow furrowing slightly.
“Are you certain about this?”

“Absolutely! My friend is incredibly well-connected. This is advice you can count on.”
Yet, Alexander's silence lingered, clouded by disbelief.
The CEO of Elite Lux was discreet, and tangible details about their personal likes were scarce. Alexander found
himself questioning the credibility of Joyce's so-called “well-connected” source, especially given that the last
the had acted on such advice, it had led to an embarrassing fiasco.
