When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1105 Their Trust In Her

“Why are you still standing at the door? Come in,” Adrian called out as he spot Cecilia through the glass door.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

His gaze roamed all over Cecilia’s body.

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.

Cecilia walked in. “Mr. Rainsworth, what did you need from me?”

Adrian leaned back in the chair, one hand resting under his chin in a casual, thoughtful pose.

“It’s nothing of great importance, take a seat.”

Cecilia pulled out a chair and sat down.

Adrian then asked, “I heard your department was top sales last month?”

“Yes.”

Indeed, it’s quite an achievement for a woman like you to transform Team Five which was originally last in sales, into the top performer within a month,” Adrian said.

Cecilia didn’t quite understand what he was getting at, she could only politely respond. “You flatter me.”

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.”

Cecilia’s eyes turned cold as he brought up her personal matters.

“Mr. Rainsworth, if you have no business matters for me to attend to, I’ll take my leave.”

She turned around and walked toward the door.

Upon seeing the situation, Adrian quickly rose to his feet and chased after Cecilia, swiftly grabbing hold of her arm.

“Cecilia, this place is practically deserted. I’m telling you. I didn’t come 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.”

Now that Nathaniel had turned into a fool, Cecilia was defenseless.

There wasn’t a woman yet that Adrian desired but couldn’t have.

Cecilia had already figured he was up to no good. She swiftly pulled away from Adrian’s grasp.

“Did you discuss this matter with Miranda?”

Adrian was taken aback. He then laughed and said, “How could I possibly tell her?”

“Then I’ll go tell her now. If she agrees, I’ll give it some thought,” said Cecilia.

Upon hearing these words, Adrian was shocked.

“What kind of sick joke is this?”

“You were the one who started it.”

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.

Only then did Adrian realize he had been played by Cecilia.

He was somewhat irked. “Fine, since you’re not willing, you can’t blame me for this.”

Cecilia didn’t pay him any attention as she quickly left.

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.

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 Nicholas. Moreover, she didn’t want to be in Nicholas‘ 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 their labor. 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 explain 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.”
