When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949 Bullying Jessica
Inside the company, everyone was buzzing with discussions about how Cecilia managed to secure the contract.

Nicholas had also summoned Cecilia to his office, inquiring about how she managed to do it.

Cecilia responded truthfully, “I happened to know a friend of Ms. Hardy. Thanks to that friend, I got acquainted with Ms. Hardy.”

“So that's how it is.” Nicholas glanced outside, noticing the darkening sky. “It's getting late, let's call it a day. I'll drive you home.”

“No need.” Cecilia immediately declined.

“Didn't the driver drop you off today?” Nicholas asked.

He had someone follow Cecilia, knowing that Cecilia had taken a taxi to Hardy Group that day.

Embarrassed, Cecilia replied, “Nathaniel has offered to drive me home from now on.”

Nicholas' expression momentarily stiffened, but he quickly regained his composure.

“I see. You should finish work early then, don't keep Nathaniel waiting too long.”

“Mhm.” Cecilia nodded, then stepped out of the office.

After she left, Nicholas got up. It was at this moment that Cassandra's call came through.

“Nicholas, have you finished work yet? I'm outside your office building.”

Nicholas watched through the glass door as Cecilia walked away. “Hmm, work's over, I'll be right down.”

“All right.” A blissful smile spread across Cassandra's face.

Outside Rainsworth Group, a Rolls-Royce sat quietly parked. Inside, Nathaniel waited patiently for Cecilia to arrive.

“Why is she getting off work so late today?”

Mason replied, “The bodyguard mentioned that Mrs. Rainsworth visited Hardy Group today to sign a contract, which caused the delay.”

Because Cecilia had been kidnapped in the past, she now had a personal bodyguard tailing her at a discreet distance wherever she went, just in case.

Nathaniel didn't ask any further questions and continued to wait.

It wasn't long before Cecilia emerged, accompanied by Jessica.

Jessica truly had no shame. She hurried after Cecilia, and the moment she spotted Nathaniel's car, she quickened her pace, even overtaking Cecilia. For someone with a supposedly injured leg, she didn't seem to be in pain at all.
