<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why are you still standing at the door? Come in,” Adrian called out as he spot Cecilia through the ss door.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His gaze roamed all over Cecilia’s body.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Although Cecilia was pregnant at the time, she still retained her charm. The only difference was the addition of a scar on her face, which was a pity.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia walked in. “Mr. Rainsworth, what did you need from me?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian leaned back in the chair, one hand resting under his chin in a casual, thoughtful pose.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s nothing of great importance, take a seat.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia pulled out a chair and sat down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian then asked, “I heard your department was top salesst month?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes.”</font></font>N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Indeed, it’s quite an achievement for a woman like you to transform Team Five which was originallyst in sales, into the top performer within a month,” Adrian said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t quite understand what he was getting at, she could only politely respond. “You tter me.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian, with one leg crossed over the other, said, “I heard you and Nathaniel got divorced? I can’t believe he divorced such a beautiful and capable woman like you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia’s eyes turned cold as he brought up her personal matters.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mr. Rainsworth, if you have no business matters for me to attend to, I’ll take my leave.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She turned around and walked toward the door.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing the situation, Adrian quickly rose to his feet and chased after Cecilia, swiftly grabbing hold of her arm.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cecilia, this ce is practically deserted. I’m telling you. I didn’te here this time to let you off the hook,” Adrian lowered his voice threateningly. “But if you listen to me and be mine, I might just spare you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Now that Nathaniel had turned into a fool, Cecilia was defenseless.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">There wasn’t a woman yet that Adrian desired but couldn’t have.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia had already figured he was up to no good. She swiftly pulled away from Adrian’s grasp.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Did you discuss this matter with Miranda?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian was taken aback. He thenughed and said, “How could I possibly tell her?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Then I’ll go tell her now. If she agrees, I’ll give it some thought,” said Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing these words, Adrian was shocked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What kind of sick joke is this?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You were the one who started it.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia couldn’t help but feel that Adrian was utterly heartless. Putting aside the fact that she was Nathaniel’s ex–wife, she was several months pregnant. Yet, he showed no consideration for her situation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Only then did Adrian realize he had been yed by Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was somewhat irked. “Fine, since you’re not willing, you can’t me me for this.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t pay him any attention as she quickly left.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon returning to her office, a wave of worry washed over Cecilia. Now that Adrian was her superior, she anticipated that she would be subjected to endless petty difficulties.</font></font>
She had no real power within Orion Corporation yet. Hence, she was simply no match for Adrian.
Before long, people from Miranda’s side arrived.
“Ms. Smith, Mr. Pearce has instructed that the recent projects you’ve been handling should be delegated to our team.”
The project she had just taken on was about to turn a profit.
Adrian and Miranda were disgusting!
Orion Corporation’s rule was that one should not bypass the hierarchy to report issues, so naturally, Cecilia couldn’t go directly to Nichs. Moreover, she didn’t want to be in Nichs‘ debt.
“All right, it’s all yours.” Cecilia seemingly agreed.
Naturally, the employees from Team Five were unwilling. They had finally secured a project, and just when they were about to reap the financial rewards, someone else had swooped in and stolen the fruits of theirbor. Nobody would be pleased with such a situation.
“Boss, are we just going to hand over the project to them?”
Naturally, Cecilia understood their reluctance.
“Don’t worry,” she reassured. “I’ll exin everything to you. For now, just do as I say.”
Cecilia had already said as much, and after more than a month of working together, she had earned Team Five’s trust.
“All right, Boss, we follow your lead instead of the newly appointed Mr. Pearce’s.”
