When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1953

Chapter 1953 Earn Their Trust
“Right, I understand,” Cecilia said, then looked around at the senior management sitting at the table.

Half of the senior management from the branch company had shown up—six or seven people in total. When they noticed Cecilia's eyes on them, they looked away, clearly uncomfortable.

“Let's continue the meeting then,” she said.

No one responded.

Randall cleared his throat to break the silence, and finally, the meeting resumed.

This time, they actually focused on the real topic—discussing the future direction of the company.

The meeting didn't last too long. Once it wrapped up, Randall personally saw the senior management out, acting every bit the gracious host.

Cecilia stood quietly by, watching everything. A heavy sense of unease settled in her chest.

When she returned to the CEO's office, she found Nathaniel sitting at her desk, immersed in paperwork. He'd already gone through most of the towering stack.

Charlotte tugged at her arm and whispered, “Boss.”

“What's wrong?”

“Mr. Rainsworth is something else,” Charlotte said in a hushed tone. “After you left, he didn't move from his seat. He combed through a ton of documents and pointed out all kinds of issues. He marked everything.”

Cecilia had always admired Nathaniel's abilities. He was a top-tier student. Not just smart, but disciplined—a born workaholic.

“I'll go check in with him,” Cecilia said.

“Maybe let him be for a while.” Charlotte smiled. “He's helping you with your work. We should just take a break.”

In her mind, Charlotte was thinking that if she ever picked a husband, it'd be someone like that—capable and reliable.
