When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1106 The Arrival Of Charlotte

Whatever Miranda wanted, Cecilia would give.

Cecilia was in no hurry, she knew she still had an ace up her sleeve that she had yet to play.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

If Miranda and Adrian kept pushing her to the edge, she wouldn’t let them off easily.

“What’s the matter, weren’t you quite pleased with yourself earlier?”

Miranda was overjoyed when she received Cecilia’s project.

The two crossed paths in the hallway. She couldn’t help but flaunt, “Did you know? I just received a few more projects. I heard that your team had worked really hard to land them. I really can’t thank you guys enough.”

Miranda added, “However, it’s only fair to reciprocate. I’ve sent a few projects your way, so don’t go complaining to Nicholas that I haven’t treated you well”

Cecilia watched her with a cool detachment.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tattle. As for the project you offered, you should keep it for your own retirement.”

It was clear that Miranda wouldn’t provide any worthwhile projects. They were bound to be exceptionally challenging and unlikely to yield substantial returns.

Miranda choked, then scoffed scornfully. “Cecilia, what are you so proud of? You’re nothing more than the Rainsworth family’s lapdog! Do you really think Elena would have let you stay at Orion Corporation if it weren’t for the fact that you’re carrying a Rainsworth child? It’s laughable how much importance you place on your minor role as a department manager.”

Cecilia held back, refraining from retaliating.

She knew that she was no match for Miranda and Adrian in her current state. She couldn’t confront them directly.

Fortunately, she now had Elena backing her up.

In the afternoon, Elena gave her a call.

“How’s work been for you lately? If it’s too tiring, I can talk to Nicholas and you can take some time off to rest at home.” Elena quickly added, “From now on, I’ll give you ten million each month. You can spend it however you like.”

Cecilia hadn’t anticipated for Elena to treat her so kindly after saving her once.

A monthly income of ten million would amount to over a billion in a year.

She truly didn’t need to strive anymore.

“Mom, I’m doing well in my job right now. I want to continue earning my own money. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself and the child.”

“All right then.” Elena felt a bit down after being rejected by Cecilia, but she still respected her decision.

“Have you encountered any challenges at work?” Elena asked once again.

As soon as Cecilia revealed to Elena about the affairs between Adrian and Miranda within the company. Elena was certain to not let the matter slide.

However, Cecilia wanted to rely on herself first.

“No,” she replied.

“That’s good. If anything comes up, just give me a call and let me know. I’ll handle it for you.”

Elena was well aware that there were plenty of shady characters within Orion Corporation.

“All right, sure.” Cecilia nodded.

As she continue to bury herself with work, a call came in from her assistant, Charlotte.

“Boss, what have you been up to lately? Have you forgotten about me?”

Cecilia was somewhat dazed. They say that pregnancy could leave one feeling foolish for three years, and it took her half a day to recall that Charlotte had returned to Tudela these past few days.

“Lottie, I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy lately, I truly forgot about you.”

Charlotte tightened her grip on her phone and pouted “Boss, you’re so unaffectionate. And here I was, having prepared a big gift for you.”

Chuckling, Cecilia said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, where are you right now? I’ll come pick you up immediately.”

Charlotte sent her an address.

Although the two were technically in a superior–subordinate relationship, they were more like friends.

Cecilia ended work early and went to pick Charlotte up

Now that Charlotte was here, she could now attempt to establish her own company in Tudela.
