<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Consequently, Jessica found herself even busier in the afternoon.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Atst, Cecilia was undisturbed, providing her the peace she needed to focus on her work. She took the opportunity to learn about the various regtions and procedures for managing subordinates within Rainsworth Group.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, it wasn’t long before someone arrived at the CEO’s office.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The secretary named Serene immediately stood up to greet her. “Ms. Miranda, are you looking for Mr. Rainsworth?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her face was full of ttery, yet Miranda didn’t even spare her a nce. Her gaze wandered around the room, and upon spotting Cecilia’s workspace, she headed straight toward it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda didn’t knock, she just pushed open the office door.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was engrossed in her work, oblivious to Miranda’s approach. By the time she heard a sound and looked up, Miranda was already almost in front of her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Goodness, was Elena really that ruthless, demoting her own daughter–inw to a mere secretary’s position?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia heard her mocking tone but didn’t mind it. “Is there something you need, Miranda?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Back in kindergarten, Miranda had a rough encounter with Cecilia, leaving her with a deep–seated resentment.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Despite the presidential position of the preschool parents‘ association seeming insignificant, it was a matter of personal pride for Miranda. Moreover, it significantly influenced Felix’s standing in kindergarten.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that time, there weren’t many children who would y with Felix, and it was all Cecilia’s fault.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“There’s nothing much. I’m just curious about what kind of work you’re doing here.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As Miranda spoke, her hands rested on Cecilia’s office desk, casually flipping through a file she picked up.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She didn’t look at it for long before she tossed the document straight into the trash bin.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What’s the big deal, is this even worth learning?” Miranda said disdainfully.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia knew she was deliberately trying to stir up trouble, hence, she kept her cool. “If you have nothing else to say, I’m going to get back to work.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda was relentless. “Aren’t you the CEO’s secretary? I have a task here that needs your attention.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before Cecilia could respond, Miranda added, “A secretary in the CEO’s office doesn’t just serve the boss.. Senior management also has the right to order you around.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What is it?” Cecilia asked, unusually calm.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda particrly detested her air of superiority.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Previously, Ms. Hardy of Hardy Group and Mr. Rainsworth has reached a preliminary agreement for coboration, but they never got around to signing the contract. Could you please take the contract over to them and ensure it gets signed?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was just a matter of signing a contract. Miranda could have sent anyone, but she insisted on Cécilia,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s just contract signing. I’ll send Jessica over,” Cecilia responded.</font></font>
“No can do, they insisted it has to be the CEO’s secretary,” Miranda said, letting her assistant in from outside to hand the contract to Cecilia.
Aubree was a woman with entric quirks. Miranda was simply waiting for Cecilia to be humiliated and taken advantage of.
“All right then.”
Cecilia got up and took the contract from her.
Since she had chosen to work at Orion Corporation, it was only natural that she had to deal with some clients.
“Wishing you all the best then. Oh, and just a reminder you need to sign the contract before six this evening. Otherwise, Ms. Hardy will be boarding her international flight tonight.”
After saying her piece, Miranda left with a smile.
ncing at the time, Cecilia realized it was already four in the afternoon.
However, she didn’t rush into things. Instead, she took her time to review the information about Hardy Group and the basic details about Aubree, the CEO.
After seeing the online reviews about Aubree, Cecilia finally understood why Miranda had specifically asked her to get the contract signed.
Aubree treated her e
