LittleNovelChapter 995: Daniela pointed at Alexander's nose. "Your skin is sagging." At her words, Alexander stood up abruptly, wishing for a mirror to check his reflection. "How could that be?" He hurriedly searched for a mirror, but there was none to be found in Daniela's office.

He had arrived confident but now felt compelled to leave hastily. “Daniela, I need to go,” he said, covering his nose. "We'll talk about this another time." With that, Alexander hurried to the elevator.
As he walked away, Lillian asked, “Daniela, is his skin really sagging?" Alexander strained to hear as Daniela sighed deeply and said, "Anything fake will always fall short of the natural." These words echoed in Alexander's mind, heavy with implication.
He felt exposed, like a flawed product, and quickly covered his face with a mask.

"Get out!" Alexander suddenly snapped. "You're all just flattering liars!" He examined his reflection over and over, convinced something wasn't right. He was embarrassed.
How could this happen just as he was opening up to Daniela? "Anything artificial will always fall short of the natural." Daniela's words stung like needles, making it hard for him to breathe.
Alexander instructed his secretary to book the earliest possible flight to the country where he had gotten his surgery.

Wearing a black mask, Alexander was visibly agitated. "Move aside! I have urgent matters to deal with!"
Hackett was visibly anxious. "What urgent business could you possibly have? Did you see Daniela? What did she say? Why is she targeting us again?" This time, it seemed she had targeted him first. His reputation had barely started to recover when Daniela began making moves. Was she out to destroy him? And why target him first?
Alexander was short on patience.

Bruno protested, "A few days? serious? We're in Alexander, are you serious? the middle of a corporate war! If you're gone for a few days, we might be wiped out by the tyou return!"
