When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942 Administrative Logistics
Jessica was taken. When did I say that it was inconvenient for me to work and that I needed to take a leave?

“That's not the case, Cecilia. It's convenient for me to work.”

After hearing that, Cecilia looked up at her and said, “Jessica, you should still call me Ms. Smith. We're at work now. Let's not confuse our professional relationship with our personal one. Right now, you're my assistant, and what's an assistant's role? It's to help me with my work, isn't it? If you can't even assist me with something as simple as pouring a glass of water, how can I entrust you with other tasks?”

Cecilia reasoned with Jessica in an extremely logical manner.

Originally, the other secretaries in the office thought Cecilia was somewhat unreasonable. However, after hearing her speech, they realized it made sense. After all, it was Jessica's job to complete this task.

A hint of resentment flashed in Jessica's eyes. “Haven't I already fetched the water for you?”

“What I asked for was warm water. What did you bring me?” Cecilia inquired.

“The hot water will become lukewarm after cooling down, right? Drinking too much water with mixed temperatures isn't good for your health,” Jessica cleverly argued.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been highly infuriated by Jessica or perhaps would have outright dismissed her.

Noticing the other secretaries around him, an excellent idea suddenly struck Cecilia.

She rose from her seat and walked away from her workstation.

Jessica asked with confusion, “Cecilia, where are you going?”

“I have some business to attend to,” responded Cecilia.

Jessica instantly responded, “What's the matter? Let me accompany you.”

Cecilia thought. She's not tagging along to keep me company. Clearly, she's trying to keep an eye on me.

“I have something to ask Mr. Rainsworth. Do you want to tag along?” Cecilia asked.

A strange glint flashed across Nicholas' eyes after he heard that. However, he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked her, “What do you want to discuss with me?”

“I feel it's somewhat unfair that out of the five secretaries in the company, I'm the only one with an assistant. Moreover, a secretary's assistant doesn't really have much work to handle. I'm considering having Jessica serve as everyone's assistant in the future. If anyone needs anything, they can ask her to do it,” Cecilia said.

Elena assigned Jessica to take care of Cecilia. Although Jessica didn't have much to do at the company daily, Rainsworth Group still had to pay her a salary.

Nicholas had also noticed the scenario outside just now, so he agreed without any hesitation, “All right. We'll do as you suggest.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to Jocelyn, who was standing beside him. “Jocelyn, inform the rest of the staff that Jessica will be their assistant from now on, essentially serving as the administrative logistics for the secretarial department.”

“Understood,” Jocelyn responded before proceeding to exit the room with Cecilia.

Once outside, Jocelyn called out to Jessica in front of everyone, saying, “Jessica, could you please come over here?”

Jessica was sitting on the couch and sipping her coffee when she heard Jocelyn calling her name. Baffled, she asked, “Did you ask for me?”
