<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia looked at Jessica, who appeared pitiful, with nothing but indifference in her eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Jessica, is there something wrong with my mind, or is it yours? You expect me to assist you in seducing my own husband?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Choked with emotion, Jessica confessed, “But I genuinely love him.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia chuckled. “The way you’re talking, it’s as if I don’t care for Nathaniel? Besides, even if you do like him, it doesn’t mean he reciprocates. Forcing a man’s feelings, that’s not cool, is it?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica pinched her palm.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was too busy to deal with her at the moment. “I have work to do now,” she said. “If you’ve got nothing else, don’t stand here and get in my way.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon realizing that Cecilia couldn’t possibly help her, Jessica’s expression soured.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re so out of touch with people’s feelings. I hope you get kicked out of thepany soon, and don’t Come begging to me when it happens.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After she finished speaking, she stormed out, mming the door behind her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia felt that Jessica was not just annoying, but also insane.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica was absolutely insane.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia took a deep breath, not wanting to let Jessica affect her mood.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After Jessica left, she found Miranda and informed her, “Cecilia is now at the office, just sitting there and not doing anything.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Are you sure?” Miranda couldn’t believe it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m certain of it. I nced at her workspace and it was all filled with Orion Corporation’s meeting materials, nothing about the Imminence Corporation.” A cold glint flickered in Jessica’s eyes. “I think she was just stirring up trouble on purpose, wanting to draw everyone’s attention to her. She didn’t really have any substance.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing all this, Miranda didn’t say much.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay, you just keep a close eye on her.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside thepany, the news of Miranda and Cecilia’s bet had also reached the ears of Elena and the others at Rainsworth Manor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena was taken aback. “Are you saying that Cecilia and Miranda had a bet that the winner would be the manager of the sales department?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The assistant nodded. “Yes, that’s the message we received from thepany’s headquarters.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What bet did they make?” Elena asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“The bet was on whether Cecilia could snatch the project from Imminence Corporation,” the assistant replied.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Imminence Corporation was a name that Elena had heard of long ago. Ever since thepany hard set foot in Tud, it had been causing trouble for Orion Corporation, which had been a constant source of distress for her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Young people these days really have no sense of danger.” Elena quickly regained herposure.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She felt that Cecilia had barely started working at Orion Corporation before she was trying to bite off more than she could chew. It was as difficult as scaling the heavens.</font></font>
It wasn’t a big deal if Cecilia lost, but it was uneptable if it cost Elena her dignity!
“Go ahead,” Elena instructed her assistant to leave first.
“Okay.”
After the assistant left, Elena pondered over how to handle this matter.
Since Cecilia had made such a bold promise, Elena, as the mother–inw, couldn’t afford to lose face.
“I always thought Cecilia was the type to live a quiet life, content with writing music every day. I never realized, she harbored ambitions of bing a sales department manager,” Cassandra remarked, a hint of jealousycing her words.
Despite both of them being the daughter–inw of Rainsworth Group, Cassandra had to stay at home every day to take care of her pregnancy, but Cecilia was even arranged to work at thepany. It seemed utterly unfair.
Elena detected the resentment in her words and voiced out, “You’re unaware of Imminence Corporation. It’s impossible for Cecilia to seize the project they’re handling.”
After she finished speaking, she added another sentence.
“You’re pregnant, and your condition is only starting to stabilize. It’s best to rest and take care of the baby at home. If in the future you want to help Nichs at thepany, that’s also an option.”
“Okay” Only then did Cassandra feel relieved.
After soothing Cassandra, Elena stepped out to call Cecilia.
Intrigued, Cassandra followed quietly, eager to hear what she would say to Cecilia.
