When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 783 I Can Be Your Assistant

Previously, Elliot hadn’t been close enough to Nicholas to notice anything strange. Even when he had been closer before, he never sensed anything. It was only today that he realized the dark aura surrounding him.

“Stay safe at home. I’m about to board my flight and head back. I’ll talk to you later,” Jonathan said.

“Okay then.”

Reluctantly, Elliot ended the call.

Looking back out the window, he could still see Nicholas outside, chatting with his mom and Elena.

Even from a distance, the dark aura around the man was still visible, making Elliot feel uneasy.

Meanwhile, seeing Nicholas, Elena was reminded of the time when Elliot did live streams to make money.

How can she let a child make money?

Elena suggested, “Ceci, since you don’t have much to do every day, why don’t you follow Nicholas. to the company and learn the ropes? At least that way, you’ll have an additional source of income. Don’t worry, working just three or four hours a day won’t affect the child.”

Elena had been planning this ever since Cecilia and Nathaniel left for abroad.

Cecilia wasn’t particularly surprised by the suggestion, but she did find it odd.

Elena had always been against her working, claiming that as a daughter–in–law with hearing difficulties, going out to work would only bring shame to the Rainsworth family.

Why the sudden change?

“Mom, I’m already writing songs occasionally. I’m not exactly doing nothing, Cecilia replied.

One had to admit that people change over time.

When Cecilia had been working, Elena had despised her for being too visible and embarrassing the family. Now that Cecilia was staying home, Elena found fault with her being idle.

“Writing songs?”

Elena’s eyes were full of disdain. “You can write songs?”

It wasn’t easy for an ordinary person to write music, let alone someone with hearing difficulties.

“I just write here and there. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert,” Cecilia replied modestly.

“Then go to the company,” Elena interrupted, her tone firm. “I’ll call Nathaniel and make sure he goes too. From now on, you’ll be his eyes and help him.”

Cecilia wasn’t sure if it was because she had changed since her return, but Elena seemed worried about being embarrassed in front of others.

Her voice softened, sounding more like persuasion now.

“Even though the Rainsworth family is wealthy and can support you, you and Nathaniel can’t just stagnate. You have to think about the future–for your child, if not for yourselves, right?”

Cecilia was even more surprised by Elena’s sudden shift in attitude.

Before she could respond, Nicholas chimed in, “Cecilia, don’t worry. Just come to the office, and I’ll arrange your workstations.”

“Mom, it’s better if you ask Nathaniel first. If he agrees, I don’t have a problem with it,” Cecilia said, knowing that Nathaniel would most likely reject the idea.

After all, he was still dealing with memory loss and had his own company to manage.

“Okay, that’s settled then. I’ll call him as soon as I get back,” Elena agreed.

While they were chatting, Jessica remained stiff and silent the whole time.

She finally relaxed after Elena and Nicholas left. She turned to Cecilia and said, “Congrats, Cecilia! You’re about to join Rainsworth Group.”

If an outsider wanted to enter Rainsworth Group, they had to go through numerous screenings.

“It’s not even confirmed yet. What’s there to congratulate?”

“It’s as good as settled,” Jessica insisted.

Then, with a hopeful look, she added, “Cecilia, can you take me with you into Rainsworth Group? I could be your assistant.”

Cecilia knew that Jessica’s sudden flattery wasn’t without an ulterior motive.

“I don’t need an assistant, but if Nathaniel agrees to go to the company, you can join me and be his assistant,” Cecilia replied.

Jessica’s eyes instantly lit up. She took the offer seriously.

“Cecilia, you’re so kind!”
