When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1330 Nathaniel Is Jealous

Cecilia almost spat blood in frustration.

"So, what do you expect me to do? Refuse to collaborate with Calvin and fire Eric?"

Nathaniel gazed deeply at her. "Well, if possible—"

"No way!" Cecilia interrupted his words. "Setting aside the fact that they're my friends, even based solely on their capabilities, I wouldn't agree to your proposal."

Nathaniel listened to Cecilia's words, somewhat dazed. In the past, no matter what, Cecilia always revolved around him. At that moment, however, he realized that everything had changed.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "That's not what I meant."

"What did you mean, then?"

"I was just saying that, if possible, keep some distance from them. I would get jealous," Nathaniel explained.

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia realized that she had misunderstood him.

"Sorry. I was too hasty earlier and didn't let you finish speaking." She paused for a moment and quickly added, "Don't worry. I consider them only friends, benefactors even, but I assure you, there are no other feelings involved." Relieved completely, Nathaniel pulled her into his arms in one swift motion.

Leaning against his chest, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, "You're not here today because your company is on break, right?"

"The company is mine. If I say we're taking a break, then we're taking a break," replied Nathaniel resolutely.

At that time, Cecilia was still unaware that his company was Imminence Corporation. She assumed it was just an ordinary company, much like her own. "We're both just starting out in our careers. We need to be rational and not let our emotions dictate our actions. You should head back to work," Cecilia said.

She understood that running a business was no easy task. If the leadership was disorganized, it was certain that the employees would not take their work seriously. "All right."

Nathaniel agreed with a nod.

By then, his mood had greatly improved.

After much difficulty, Mason was finally able to go on a date with Lucille that day. However, not long after, he was summoned back to the company by Nathaniel.

He was somewhat stunned. Has it been resolved that quickly?

At Ceci Corporation, news of

Nathaniel's visit that day spread quickly, and by the afternoon, everyone had received an extravagant treat. All of these were sent under the name of Cecilia's husband as if they were afraid the that

employees wouldn't know

Cecilia was married.

"Boss' husband is so generous."

"Right? He's a CEO from a prominent family. He was once the CEO of Orion Corporation."

"Didn't the receptionist upset him today?"

"Well, good luck to that girl!"

As Calvin walked toward the office from outside, he could hear the whispers and rumors swirling around.

He pushed open the office door, only to find that Eric had arrived at some point, even holding an afternoon snack in his hand.

"Mr. Reese, this is the afternoon snack that Ms. Cecille's husband ordered for everyone. I brought yours up specially," Eric explained, wanting to ensure Calvin was aware.

Calvin replied nonchalantly, "Thank you."

He then walked over and sat down at his office desk.

Yet, Eric had no intention of leaving.

"What's the matter? Is there something else?" Calvin asked.

Without beating around the bush, Eric cut to the chase and said, "You knew Ceci was married all along, right? Why are you still clinging onto her?" Upon hearing those words, Calvin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't you know it too? Why are you acting like you're more noble than me?" Leaning back, Calvin folded his hands on the table. "Of course, you outdo me in shamelessness by far. I've seen plenty of stars like you trying to climb the social ladder by cozying up to the boss! I'm warning you. Don't even think about taking advantage of Ceci!"

Upon hearing those words, Eric was so amused that he couldn't help but laugh. "Are you joking? I would never take advantage of Cecilia."

"Is that so? I hope so," Calvin said, harboring no particular fondness for a certain celebrity.

Seeing how Calvin was belittling him, Ari retorted, "Just you wait and see."

He refused to believe that his charm wasn't stronger than Calvin's.
