<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda didn’t expect Cecilia to roast her in front of so many people.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“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 coborating,” she said, her voice rising with frustration as she struggled to contain her irritation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The senior management around her had grown ustomed to her erratic behavior. None of them said at word, merely watching with bated breath, feeling nervous for Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Nichs spoke up. “Ms. Miranda, Cecilia is my personal secretary, not in charge of liaising with rivalpanies. If you need someone to do that, you can approach the Public Rtions or Sales Department.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda was instantly silenced by Nichs‘ words as the boss.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">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</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">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 rtions tasks.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was implying that Cecilia was too ipetent to handle sales and public rtions.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t mind. She had to leave work early that day to find Nathaniel and didn’t have the time to entertain Miranda.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">And just like that, the meeting came to an end.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">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 Nichs on your side. Let me tell you, without any real skills, you won’tst long at Orion Corporation.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, she quickened her pace and brushed past Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia watched her retreating figure coldly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After much contemtion upon returning home yesterday, she realized that she couldn’t possibly be a secretary forever.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">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.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As a daughter–inw of the Rainsworth family herself, she didn’t feel inferior to Miranda.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As soon as she returned to the office, she was greeted with a chorus of gratitude.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci, can’t thank you enough.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“The coffee you bought was so delicious. And these pastries look quite expensive. You must have spent quite a bit of money, right?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Several secretaries and other office staff spoke one after another..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was puzzled, noticing that everyone’s workstations were adorned with delicious treats. Each item was beautifully packaged, clearly ordered from a specialty restaurant.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re wee, she said, approaching her workstation and finding a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a greeting card.</font></font>Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Confused, she asked, “Who sent this?”</font></font>
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 thepany, after all.
