When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816 Have You Done Something Guilty 

Cassandra attempted to barge in, but Jocelyn blocked her way. 

“Ms. Evans, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to go in? If Mr. Nicholas loses his temper, you’ll have to handle it yourself.” 

Upon hearing Jocelyn’s words, Cassandra had no choice but to leave, deciding to wait in the CEO’s office for Nicholas to finish his meeting. 

Jocelyn didn’t bother with her anymore and headed to inform Nicholas about her arrival discreetly. 

Nicholas‘ brows furrowed slightly. “I got it. You can get back to work. Don’t bother about her.” 

“Understood.” 

As Cecilia was seated not too far from Nicholas, she roughly heard Jocelyn’s words. 

Cassandra is here? Judging from Jocelyn’s expression, her arrival probably doesn’t bode well. 

Cecilia felt that she was quite likely the reason. 

Noticing Cecilia seemingly lost in thought, Nicholas gently nudged her and lowered his voice to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Knowing well that Cassandra had no brothers, they began speculating that Cecilia was possibly the disabled wife of Nathaniel. 

Most of the senior executives here had been replaced by Nicholas, so there were very few who recognized Cecilia. 

However, they had a rough idea, that the last name of Nathaniel’s wife was Smith. 

Coincidentally, they remembered that the secretary before them also had the same last name! 

Cecilia knew well Cassandra’s visit was nothing good. “Yeah. Mom told me to come here to learn how to manage a company’s affairs,” she responded, her tone neither servile nor overbearing. 

Nicholas cast a glance at the senior executives at the back who had yet to leave. 

“Why is everyone still here today? Do you all wish to work overtime?” he asked with a seemingly teasing 

tone. 

The senior executives, who were there for the drama, responded with a chuckle and swiftly departed from the scene. 

Cecilia was ready to leave with the others, but Cassandra stopped her. “Cecilia, you seem in such a hurry to leave. Have you done something guilty?” 

“Guilty?” Cecilia turned to look at her. “What do I have to feel guilty about?”
