Chapter 797 The Dinner
Nathaniel might have sounded indifferent, but Mason knew he was all talk and wouldn’t act on his words, so Mason simply instructed Jessica to take good care of Cecilia and to inform him if anything happened..
Jessica responded: All right.
Cecilia had come to understand her role, which was to stay by Nicholas‘ side. For instance, during important meetings, she was responsible for taking notes and handling necessary arrangements.
As she stepped out of Nicholas‘ office, she saw Jessica engaged in a cheerful conversation with someone. At a glance, she noticed the name “Mason” in bold letters. She has a date with Mason tonight, right?
Cecilia’s guess was right. Once they entered the nearby office, Jessica said, “Cecilia, I won’t be coming home tonight. I’m planning to have an all–nighter with my best friend.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild. Not coming home tonight? Spending the entire night with her best friend?
Nevertheless, she didn’t question her further. “All right. Be careful.”
“I’ll be fine.” After Jessica finished speaking, she settled into her office chair and began touching up her lipstick and makeup.
No woman would want her boyfriend or fiancé dining privately with another woman at a romantic restaurant.
Cecilia felt it was inappropriate for Mason and Jessica to make such arrangements.
However, since she didn’t know who Mason’s fiancée was, she felt it wasn’t her place to meddle in their affairs.
She started to delve into the records of every company meeting that Nicholas had given her.
“D*mn it, I’ve lost!” From the side, the occasional sounds of Jessica playing a game could be heard. “You’ve got to be kidding me! Can you even fight?”
Cecilia felt increasingly uncomfortable as she wasn’t able to focus on her work. “Jessica, could play your game outside the office?”

Even before she was pregnant, Cecilia had struggled with too much noise, and now, while working and pregnant, the constant sound of Jessica arguing over a game was particularly grating.
“Yes, Cecilia? What did you say?” Jessica asked, her headphones on.
Cecilia rose to her feet, moved toward Jessica, and promptly removed her headphones. “I asked you to play your mobile game outside.”
Jessica looked puzzled. “Why? I find it comfortable sitting here. I don’t want to go out. Besides, there are so many secretaries and assistants outside. What if I disturb them?”
She simply wanted to put Cecilia in her place and make her understand that within the company, she was not her subordinate.
