When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 941

Chapter 941 Guilt Tripping Cecilia
Upon hearing the sound, Serene and the others turned to look, only to see Miranda, accompanied by her assistant, appearing on the scene, her eyes filled with displeasure.

Serene, along with three female staff members, turned pale in an instant.

Miranda was notoriously unreasonable within the corporate headquarters. She was unapproachable and even had an intense disdain for women.

All of her assistants were men. The women who used to work under her had all left due to various reasons she had orchestrated.

“Ms. Miranda, perhaps there's been a misunderstanding. We weren't discussing you just now,” Serene, as the secretary of the CEO's office, was quick on her feet. She immediately clarified, “We were talking about the former boss' wife who, surprisingly, is now working as a mere secretary in the CEO's office.”

Serene had also made inquiries about the preferences of the upper echelons. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become the CEO's secretary.

She knew that Miranda didn't fancy Cecilia.

In truth, even without prying, one could make an educated guess. As fellow daughters-in-law of the Rainsworth family and potential successors of Orion Corporation, competition was inevitable.

Originally, Miranda had intended to make things difficult for these four women, but after hearing what Serene said, she lifted her brows slightly. “Cecilia has poor hearing. Being a secretary might be difficult for her. In the future, be mindful of how you speak around her.”

“Understood.”

Serene and the other three hastily nodded.

Only then did Miranda and her assistant take the elevator up.

After she left, the quartet breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them said, “I never expected that she-devil would let us off so easily. I thought she would fire us on the spot.”

“Thankfully, Serene was sharp-witted.”

“Anyway, she mentioned something about Cecilia having poor hearing. What's wrong with her ears?”

Serene replied, “She needs to wear a hearing aid. It seems she's deaf.”
