When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1104 Like A Game

Cecilia was comfortably nestled in Nathaniel’s arms, and she found nothing unusual about it.

“You…”

She was about to ask something when Nathaniel, with his tall and imposing figure, leaned against her. His large hand cradled her head. “My head hurts so much.”

“Headache? Let me call the doctor over.”

“Don’t go. Let me hold you,” Nathaniel’s voice was deep and hoarse.

When Cecilia heard him speak now, it seemed like he was all right.

“Did something come to mind?”

“Hush, don’t speak. It’s not safe here,” Nathaniel said.

Cecilia couldn’t believe it, but obediently, she remained silent.

Nathaniel held her tightly, and after a long while, he collapsed weakly onto the bed.

Cecilia reached out to touch him, finding his forehead burning hot.

She immediately fetched the fever–reducing medicine and also brought a damp towel for Nathaniel to help cool him down.

The butler observed from the outside, refraining from meddling in affairs that were not his concern.

The condition of Nathaniel, whether it was good or bad, became apparent in the evening. When Cecilia wanted to talk to him again, he had reverted back to his usual distant and aloof demeanor.

Cecilia felt that the current state of Nathaniel was perhaps due to his recovery, not that he had become foolish.

On Monday, as usual, Cecilia went to work.

Before even reaching Orion Corporation, a car blocked her path.

Mason stepped out of the car. “Mrs. Rainsworth.”

Seeing the situation, Cecilia also got out of the car.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Mr. Sanders, may I ask what brings you here?”

“Is Mr. Rainsworth doing well lately?”

At that time, Mason found it impossible to reach Nathaniel, especially with Nicholas‘ people constantly surrounding him.

To avoid revealing that Imminence Corporation was solely built by Nathaniel, Mason had been wandering around lately, fearing that he might be discovered by Nicholas.

Mason let out a sigh of relief. “I really appreciate your care for Mr. Rainsworth right now. Please make sure to stay by his side and ensure nothing happens to him.”

Cecilia nodded. “Don’t worry.”

How could Mason possibly be at ease?

Just a couple of days ago, he almost managed to take Nathaniel away. However, Nathaniel fell ill and in the end, he couldn’t take him away.

He watched as Cecilia walked away. Once she was out of sight, Mason climbed into his car. As he started on his way back, he suddenly received a phone call.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Take good care of Cecilia. Don’t let anyone bully her.”

It was Nathaniel.

“Mr. Rainsworth.” Mason was completely taken aback.

“I’m in an unstable situation right now. I can’t talk to you any further.”

The call ended, and in that moment, all of Mason’s lost fighting spirit was reignited.

At Orion Corporation, when Cecilia arrived at the company, her subordinates were already hard at work.

Upon her arrival at the office, a subordinate she held in high regard informed her that they had already identified the mole within the department.

“I understand. I’ll be cautious around her in the future, Cecilia said.

“Do we not need to fire her?” The subordinate was somewhat confused.

Cecilia shook her head. “She might come in handy in the future.”

“Noted.”

After her subordinate left, Cecilia continued with her work. It wasn’t long before she saw a notice issued by the company: Adrian has been transferred back from the branch company, now holding the position of General Manager in the sales department.

Surprisingly, Adrian had suddenly been promoted to the role of general manager of the sales department.

Cecilia’s brows were tightly knitted, indicating her distress. This development would undoubtedly make her situation in the sales department even more challenging.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the secretary to the general manager of the sales department came Over.

“Ms. Smith, the general manager has requested your presence.”

“Understood.”

Cecilia rose to her feet, heading toward Adrian’s office.

In the expansive CFO’s office it hadn’t been long since Cecilia had walked in when she saw the previous general manager emerge, looking utterly dejected.

The personnel appointments at Orion Corporation now is like a game, huh?
