When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2233

That very day Lucille said goodbye to Madeline, packed up, and transferred to Jamieson Group.

Jamieson Group.

The moment she arrived, Cecilia ditched Nathaniel and headed out shopping with her.

Concerned, Nathaniel offered, "I'll come with you two."

Cecilia shook her head at once.

"It's girls' shopping time. A grown man trailing us would just be awkward, and Lucy wouldn't relax. With you there she'd feel like a third wheel."

Nathaniel let out a soft sigh. "Then I'll have Mason come over."

"Mason still needs to work," Cecilia said with a playful smile. "And you promised to help with my tasks so I could take a proper break and have some fun, remember?"

The longer Nathaniel watched the grin on her face, the more sour he felt.

He suspected Cecilia was only pretending to be strong, yet letting her and Lucille slip away for a little distraction might still do her good.

"All right," he nodded, "enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, call me."

"Thanks." Cecilia bent down and brushed a quick kiss across his cheek.

Nathaniel's eyes stayed on her, heavy with worry, as she walked off.

Cecilia had sensed something off in Nathaniel these two days, and she blamed it on the trouble with Nicholas and her own injury, never realizing he had drawn the wrong conclusion.

Outside, Lucille had just finished packing and looked at Cecilia. "President Xia, are we heading out now?"

Inside the office she naturally addressed Cecilia as President Xia.

"Of course. Why else would I have asked you over?" Cecilia figured that with Nathaniel handling the paperwork, she might as well take a breather.

Because of Nicholas, her nerves had been stretched tight for days, constantly afraid the nightmare would repeat.

Lucille beamed. "Having my bestie for a boss is just the best feeling ever."
