Chapter 966_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 966 I Want Your Position

 Cecilia hadn’t anticipated ending her conversation with Eric without gaining any answers.

 She wanted to continue chatting with Eric, but then she noticed Miranda and Jessica standing at the door.

 Jessica fervently knocked on the door on Miranda’s behalf.

 After ending the call, Cecilia rose to open the door.

 Jessica, standing next to Miranda, blurted out, “Cecilia, why did you close your office door in broad daylight? Is there something you’re trying to hide?”

 “You don’t know anything. I’m just worried some impolite nobodies would just barge in,” Cecilia said, her toneced with sarcasm.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.

 I know how to insult others, too.

 “Are you implying that Miranda and I are nobodies?” Jessica immediately retorted.

 “I never said that. Don’t take it personally,” Cecilia calmly responded.

 Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but Miranda cut her off. “Cecilia, I’m here for serious business, not to engage in idle chatter.”

 “What’s the matter?”

 “Didn’t you suggest seizing Imminence Corporation’s clients during the meeting?” Miranda began. “I, along with the other executives, found it unfeasible. However, since Mr. Rainsworth has made his decision, someone has to execute it. I believe that whoever makes the suggestion should also be responsible for carrying it out.”

 Cecilia was taken aback; she hadn’t expected high–ranking executives to entrust her, a mere secretary, with such significant responsibilities.

 She wasn’t na?ve. “How could I, as just a secretary, handle something like that?”

 “I can arrange for Nichs to grant you the necessary authorization,” Miranda replied nonchntly.

 Cecilia pressed on, “And what do I stand to gain if Iplete this task?”

 Miranda smiled, clearly amused by the question. “What’s in it for you? Well, for the contracts you secure, we’ll provide you with amission based on thepany’s performance.”

 With a cold smile, Cecilia said, “Ms. Miranda, have you forgotten? I’m not short of money.”

 Miranda paused for a while before asking, “What do you want then?”

 “I want your position. Is that okay?” Cecilia stared straight at Miranda.

 Miranda was taken aback; she never would have imagined that the oncepliant and obedient deaf woman would now have the audacity to covet her position. She narrowed her eyes, her voice dripping with disbelief. “What kind of joke is this? You really think someone like you could manage my role?”

 secretary, to solve the problems you can’t handle? And when I actually seed, you still refuse to relinquish your position? I thought Orion Corporation was all about merit–based promotion.”

 They began arguing, drawing the attention of the other secretaries.

 Nichs, too, noticed what was going on.

 He instructed Jocelyn to go and find out what themotion was about.

 When Jocelyn walked in, Miranda spoke arrogantly. “Even if you seed, you’ll never match my standing. How long have I been at Orion Corporationpared to you? And you, a deaf person, think you can aspire to be a manager? Do you really believe you’re worthy?”

 Her tone was grating and condescending, dripping with disdain.

 Even Jocelyn couldn’t tolerate Miranda’s condescension. Perhaps out of her fondness for Cecilia, she interjected, “Ms. Miranda, ourpany has always valued meritocracy. We don’t hold onto those who don’t contribute. If Ms. Smith manages to secure a deal that you couldn’t, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you to remain in your managerial position? Admit it–you’re scared. You’re afraid that if Ms, Smith sessfully negotiates a deal, you might lose your spot”

 After a few provoking remarks from Jocelyn, Miranda shot back, “Who said I was scared? If Cecilia actually managed to snatch the project away from Imminence Corporation, I’d dly hand over my.position as sales manager to her!”
