Chapter 1453 Coming Back Tonight


    The next morning. Cecilia woke up on the couch, feeling much less pain in her leg.


    After taking some medicine and applying a fresh dose of ointment, she picked up her phone and saw multiple missed calls and messages from Nichs. She immediately called him back, and he answered quickly.


    "Ceci, why are you only answering now?" Nichs asked anxiously.


    "Sorry, I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep. I didn''t hear the phone ring," Cecilia replied, choosing not to mention her leg pain.


    Nichs let out a sigh of relief.


    "I''m d you''re fine. I''ve booked a flight and will be back tonight."


    Hearing this, Cecilia hurriedly said, "There''s no need to rush back. I''m really fine. Work is more important."


    She didn''t want to disrupt his work.


    "I know work is important, but so are you," Nichs interrupted. "Okay, no more arguing. Wait for me tonight."


    "Okay," Cecilia replied obediently.


    After hanging up, she nced at her leg, which looked worse than it had a few days ago.


    If Nichs came back and saw her injury, he would undoubtedly worry.


    "Hopefully, it''ll heal soon," Cecilia murmured, blowing gently on the wound. She then got up and freshened up. After having breakfast, she limped her way to the office. Meanwhile, Nichs was preparing to head abroad again. Cassandra couldn''t stop him.


    The incident with someone messaging himst time still lingered in her mind, fueling her suspicions. As soon as Nichs left, she immediately arranged for someone to follow him.


    "Keep a close eye on Mr. Nichs, especially the women around him. I don''t care who they are. Report everything to me. Got it?" Cassandra instructed over the phone.


    "Understood, Ms. Evans. Don''t worry."


    "Okay."


    Cassandra finally hung up.


    At thepany abroad, when Cecilia arrived at her desk that day, she found an envelope ced on it.


    Lysanna approached her with an unusually warm expression. "Cecilia, your performance yesterday was fantastic. This is a mary gift from thepany. Your bonus will be issued with your sry this month." 1/2

    Cecilia was pleasantly surprised by the news but could help being skeptical of Lysanna''s sudden


    kindness.


    "Thank you, but I must decline this mary gift," Celia said, handing it back to Lysanna.


    Finished


    Lysanna''s smile faltered for a moment. "What are you doing? This is from thepany. Why give it to me?"


    "Keep it and treat yourself to something nice," Lysanna said, her tone like that of a kind elder sister, entirely devoid of her usual sharpness.


    Cecilia had no choice but to ept the envelope.


    After Lysanna left, Cecilia opened it and found a substantial sum, totaling to five thousand in Azanian

    This is equivalent to some people''s bonuses! Is Lysanna really that generous?


    Considering it her first real earnings, Cecilia decided to celebrate with Nichs when he returned that evening.


    She carefully put the money away and resumed her work. Near the end of the day, Lysanna approached her again.


    "Cecilia, thank you for your hard work today, but I need a small favor from you," Lysanna said.


    "What is it?" Cecilia asked.


    "I need you to work overtime a little. There''s a clienting in, and I need you to help with the initial reception," Lysanna said, quickly adding, "This is Mr. Stafford''s arrangement." It didn''t seem like a big deal, so Cecilia agreed without much thought. "Okay."


    Satisfied, Lysanna left and sent a message to Ken, letting him know it time toe over.

    However, since the office wasn''t an ideal ce for what she had in mind, Lysanna also arranged for a nearby hotel.
