When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1329

Chapter 1329 Vice President
The receptionist was somewhat fearful. If he really is Ms. Smith's husband, won't I be doomed? However, according to the introduction provided by the company, Ms. Smith is indeed divorced.

“I've come to dine with my wife,” declared Nathaniel, turning back to the receptionist after uttering his words. For the first time, he threatened a woman, “If you don't want to lose your job, spill all the details about those toy boys!”

Understanding immediately, Mason handed a business card to the receptionist.

The receptionist, trembling slightly, accepted the business card, stammering, “Y-Yes.”

Cecilia had no idea what they were whispering about there in private. Stepping forward, she asked, “Don't you have to work today?”

“It's an off-day today.”

Nathaniel maintained a stoic expression as he told a lie.

“You guys also have Thursdays off? Your company's employees are quite fortunate,” Cecilia remarked.

Charlotte was standing off to the side, feeling awkward about being the third wheel. Hence, she said, “Boss, Lucille and the others asked me to go explore the nearby area with them earlier. I'm going to head out now.”

“All right.”

Cecilia readily agreed.

Nathaniel also turned to Mason and said, “You don't need to follow us. Go find Lucille. While you're at it, order some snacks for everyone in the company.”

His message was clear. He was announcing to everyone in the company that Cecilia's husband had arrived.

Cecilia didn't understand Nathaniel's subtle schemes, but she didn't reject them either.

“Let's grab a bite. What do you feel like eating? Choose whatever you want. I'm okay with anything,” Nathaniel said.

He didn't go there for a meal. His purpose was to ensure that everyone in Ceci Corporation knew that Cecilia had a husband.

“All right.”

Cecilia dispensed with further formalities with him.

“However, we are husband and wife...” The words had barely left his lips before he hesitated. After all, they were already divorced and hadn't remarried yet. “Never mind. You should get help from whoever you want.”

Cecilia also realized that he was angry.

She found it a bit odd. Back then, Nathaniel seldom lost his temper, so why is he now getting upset over trivial matters?

“Why are you upset? After all, the vice president title is just a nominal position,” she said.

“Does that mean the title of a husband is just a nominal one in the future?” Nathaniel asked persistently.

Upon hearing that, Cecilia was instantly filled with anger. “What do you mean?”

When she raised her voice, she instantly unsettled Nathaniel. However, he refused to admit his mistake, mumbling under his breath, “I didn't mean anything by it. I just don't like Calvin.”

“Is there anyone else around me that you dislike?” Cecilia casually asked.

Unexpectedly, Nathaniel immediately said, “Eric.”
