All Chapters of Rejected, I Entered a Contract Marriage with a Billionaire: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

"Really? The results are finally ready?" Adrián straightened up instantly, a spark of anticipation cutting through his fatigue. "Took long enough, Daniel.""Hold on a second, Boss—are you seriously calling this slow?" Daniel protested, throwing his hands up in mock exasperation. "That's one of the top-tier private intelligence agencies in the sector! You think digging into someone's entire personal history is as casual as picking up groceries at a market? We had to operate completely under the radar to make sure the target didn't catch wind of it, while untangling years of social connections. It's mentally exhausting work!""Fair enough. You and your team did a stellar job," Adrián conceded with a knowing grin, noting Daniel's dramatic expression. "Consider your bonus doubled at the end of the month.""Just double? Honestly, CEO, don't ever loop me into these covert surveillance tasks again—I'd rather forfeit the extra cash," Daniel gru

The pair joined the lingering crowd, exited the conference hall, and headed toward their respective rooms.Elena moved quickly. She dropped off her materials, checked her reflection in the mirror to ensure her outfit was still presentable, and then unlocked her door, hurrying down to the ground-floor lobby.Arriving at the atrium, she spotted Mateo waiting for her. She hurried over with a bright smile. "Have you ever been to England before, Mateo? This is my first time here. Do you know any good spots for local food? Let's go check them out."Mateo looked at her joyful expression. She was just like she used to be, her eyes lighting up at the mere mention of food—no different from the days they spent together in the past.At that thought, his guard melted a bit. "What are you in the mood for? Or we could just wander around the streets and sample whatever looks good.""Yes, perfect. Let's go!" Elena agreed eagerly, grabbing his hand as they hea

Watching her enthusiasm through the screen, Adrián chuckled. "That is quite a haul. If you don't manage to finish all of that, isn't it going to go to waste?"The question brought a quick flush to her cheeks. "I didn't buy them just to waste food... It's just that everything looked so incredible, I couldn't help myself. I knew I'd regret it if I walked away."Seeing her fluster, his expression warmed further. "Alright, next time I'll just have to tag along and help you clear your plate."That drew a bright, relieved smile from Elena, and she nodded eagerly.They stayed on the line chatting for a while longer, but it was clear exhaustion was catching up to Adrián. With a more than five-hour time difference weighing on him, Elena couldn't bring herself to keep him awake."You should get some sleep, Adrián," she urged gently. "I need to turn in too; we have another full day of meetings tomorrow.""Alright, Elena. Have a goo

"You know very well I can't leave yet—there are still four whole days left," Elena murmured, sounding a little disappointed.Noticing her mood dip, Adrián quickly reassured her, "Time will fly by; you'll see. The moment your plane lands, I'll be right there at the airport to pick you up.""Deal! You better be waiting for me when I get back," Elena beamed at the camera.Adrián gave a firm, affectionate nod in agreement."Elena, are you ready?" A male voice suddenly interjected, accompanied by a brief glimpse of a figure passing behind her. Before Adrián could catch a proper look, the man had already stepped out of frame."Adrián, I have to run; something came up. Talk to you later!" Elena glanced at the screen and abruptly ended the call.Adrián stared at his silent phone in mild surprise—she had never hung up on him so hurriedly before. After a brief pause, he set the device aside and turned his

Daniel opened the door and stepped inside. "Sir, it's almost time for your scheduled dinner with Miss Miranda."Caught off guard by how fast time had passed, Adrián glanced at the clock on his wall, confirming it was indeed past six.Knowing the weight of tonight's conversation, he didn't waste a moment. He shut down his computer, retrieved his jacket from the chair, and headed out with Daniel."The driver is waiting downstairs at the main entrance, CEO," Daniel reported as he kept pace behind him.Adrián nodded in acknowledgment. The two took the private elevator down to the main lobby, boarded the waiting executive sedan without delay, and set off for Xiyue Restaurant.During the drive, Daniel spent every second checking his reflection in the rearview mirror, smoothing his lapels, and adjusting his hair. Eventually, Adrián couldn't help but speak up."Daniel, what exactly are you doing back there?"Daniel turned
