When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 954 Mysterious Gifts

Miranda didn’t expect Cecilia to roast her in front of so many people.

“What are you implying? Do you think my suggestion to approach Imminence Corporation is inappropriate? I’m asking you to speak with their representatives and express our interest in collaborating,” she said, her voice rising with frustration as she struggled to contain her irritation.

The senior management around her had grown accustomed to her erratic behavior. None of them said at word, merely watching with bated breath, feeling nervous for Cecilia.

At that moment, Nicholas spoke up. “Ms. Miranda, Cecilia is my personal secretary, not in charge of liaising with rival companies. If you need someone to do that, you can approach the Public Relations or Sales Department.”

Miranda was instantly silenced by Nicholas‘ words as the boss.

Struggling to contain her frustration, she said, “I was only joking with Ms. Smith just now. Why are you so serious? Of course I know she’s your personal secretary

With that, she looked at Cecilia with a radiant smile. “It was indeed unfair of me to expect a secretary to handle sales and public relations tasks.”

She was implying that Cecilia was too incompetent to handle sales and public relations.

Cecilia didn’t mind. She had to leave work early that day to find Nathaniel and didn’t have the time to entertain Miranda.

And just like that, the meeting came to an end.

When they exited the meeting room, Miranda quickly strode over to Cecilia, lowering her voice. “Don’t think you’re all that just because you have Nicholas on your side. Let me tell you, without any real skills, you won’t last long at Orion Corporation.”

With that, she quickened her pace and brushed past Cecilia.

Cecilia watched her retreating figure coldly.

After much contemplation upon returning home yesterday, she realized that she couldn’t possibly be a secretary forever.

She knew that Miranda was now one of the managers in charge of the sales department, a position far superior to hers in both rank and authority.

As a daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family herself, she didn’t feel inferior to Miranda.

As soon as she returned to the office, she was greeted with a chorus of gratitude.

“Ceci, can’t thank you enough.”

“The coffee you bought was so delicious. And these pastries look quite expensive. You must have spent quite a bit of money, right?”

Several secretaries and other office staff spoke one after another..

Cecilia was puzzled, noticing that everyone’s workstations were adorned with delicious treats. Each item was beautifully packaged, clearly ordered from a specialty restaurant.

“You’re welcome, she said, approaching her workstation and finding a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a greeting card.

Confused, she asked, “Who sent this?”

Jessica leaned in and asked, “Cecilia, are these flowers a gift from Nathaniel?”

Nathaniell

Cecilia thought it was unlikely.

She picked up the greeting card attached to the flowers that read: Be happy every day and focus on work.

Two initials were at the very bottom of the greeting card-C.R.

Is it from Calvin?

After making out the initials, Cecilia had mixed feelings.

Worried that Jessica might overthink, she said, “Yeah, it’s from Nathaniel.”

Jessica had sneaked a peek at the card when the flowers and snacks were delivered. The initials are “C.R.7 which is different from the abbreviation of Nathaniel’s name, which is supposed to be “N.R.”

However, Jessica suddenly wondered if Nathaniel could have intentionally put it as “C.R.”

She couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. “Nathaniel’s so nice to you.”

The staff in the office were all astounded. “So Ceci’s husband gave us these gifts?”

Cecilia’s husband was the former boss of the company, after all.
