When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 948

Chapter 948 Shattered Her Dignity
Immediately, Jessica stepped forward. “Ceci... Ms. Smith, how did the signing of the contract go?”

Cecilia knew that these people weren't interested in whether the contract was signed or not; they were only eager to see if she had made a fool of herself.

She produced the signed contract. “It's signed.”

Everyone stared at her in disbelief when they heard those words.

How on earth did Cecilia manage to get the signature of the notoriously difficult CEO of Hardy Group?

Aubree was the person most despised by the employees. Every time Nicholas needed to discuss work matters with Aubree, they were all reluctant to tag along. They knew that if they went, they couldn't avoid being humiliated.

“No way.”

The secretary named Serene stepped forward, taking the contract from Cecilia's hands. Upon inspection, it was indeed stamped with the official seal of Hardy Group and signed by Aubree herself. There were no issues to be found.

The others also came over for a look, and were just as astonished.

Jessica was even more upset. Hadn't Miranda mentioned that Aubree was known to be eccentric, there was no way she would agree to sign a contract with Cecilia. So how did she manage to get her to sign it?

Her heart was pounding.

Cecilia safely stored the contract away. “I wonder if Ms. Miranda has finished work yet? Can I hand it over to her now?”

Immediately, a secretary remarked, “I noticed that Ms. Miranda hasn't clocked out yet.”

“Thank you.”

Holding the contract in hand, Cecilia inquired about Miranda's office's location before heading there.

Miranda was leisurely listening to music in her office, patiently waiting for Cecilia to return so she could thoroughly embarrass her.

Cecilia soon arrived at her office door. She knocked and said, “Ms. Miranda.”

Miranda glanced over and said, “Come in.”

She had assumed that Cecilia hadn't secured the contract and couldn't help but ask, “Why are you only returning now? If you didn't manage to close the deal, it's not the end of the world. The company would only lose a bit of money. After all, you're a daughter-in-law of the Rainsworth family, they wouldn't fire you.”

Cecilia didn't have the time to listen to all this. It was already late that day and she needed to get back to care for her children.
