At that. Cecilia looked up and responded, “All right.” 

She got up and headed toward Nicholas‘ office. After knocking, she entered. 

Nicholas looked up at her. “I heard that Miranda came by, did she give you a hard time?” 

Cecilia truthfully informed Nicholas about Miranda instructing her to get the contract signed.

Nicholas knew that Miranda was up to no good. After considering it for a moment, he said, “Just leave the contract here, I’ll have someone else deal with it.” 

Reflecting on her day at the office, Cecilia recalled the casual chatter of her colleagues. If Nicholas were to assigned her task to a different secretary, her professional life would become considerably more challenging. 

“No need, I’ll get the contract signed and bring it over. 

Nicholas thought that Cecilia didn’t understand how difficult the task Miranda assigned to her was, so he warned. “Ms. Hardy is not an easy person to deal with. You might not only fail to secure a contract but also face unnecessary difficulties.” 

“I did some research,” Cecilia stated, “But rest assured, I will definitely finish the work.” 

Seeing her determination, Nicholas couldn’t bring himself to stop her anymore. 

After Cecilia had left, he felt somewhat uneasy. “Jocelyn, find someone to keep an eye on Cecilia. We can’t afford for anything to happen to her,” he said. 

Yes, Sir.” 

Immediately, Jocelyn had a bodyguard discreetly follow Cecilia. 

Cecilia had already packed up her things and was leaving the office when Jessica called out to her. “Wait…. Ms. Smith, what are you doing?” 

“Work. Do you want to come?” Cecilia asked. 

Jessica was already in a terrible situation, single–handedly taking care of several secretaries. “No thanks,” 

she said. 

She was fearful that Cecilia might have conjured up another scheme to torment her, so she declined. 

Cecilia didn’t bother with her anymore, she left the company and took a taxi. 

She didn’t proceed directly to Hardy Group. Instead, she first had her driver take her back to the Smith residence. After retrieving an item, she got back into the car and instructed the driver to head toward the Hardy Group. 

Cecilia wouldn’t have accepted the task if she knew she couldn’t complete it. 

She had noticed that Aubree had a particular fondness for all sorts of antique jewelry.

unsold pieces from the past still lingered within the Smith residence.

Cecilia had in her possession a string of agate bracelet from the Tusurla Era, a valuable item that her father had gifted her. 

Finally, she arrived at Hardy Group. 

After getting off the car, Cecilia headed into the building. 

She was stopped by the security guard as soon as she reached the entrance. Only after she presented her work badge, did the guard allow her to proceed to the front desk to check in. 

The receptionist saw her and said, clearly irritated, “Ms. Hardy is currently very busy entertaining clients. You should wait in the lobby.” 

“I heard Ms. Hardy is heading to the airport after six, and it’s already five. Could you let her know I’ve arrived?” Cecilia knew that if she lingered in the lobby, not only would it be tough to sign the contract, but she might not even get a chance to see Aubree. 

The receptionist frowned. “Who do you think you are?
