When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
+5 Pearls
Chapter 960 Termination Contract
Jocelyn stepped out of Nicholas‘ office and saw her colleagues gathered together, chatting and eating.
She approached her workstation alone and waited for her takeout to arrive.
Cecilia, noticing that Jocelyn had ordered her own takeput, found it strange and asked, “Is Ms. Wright left out?”
One of the secretaries responded, “She won’t accept your kindness, Ceci.”
Another chimed in, “She’s always been a bit of a lone wolf. I guess she thinks acting differently will make the boss notice her more.”
The third secretary said, “Ceci, you’re pregnant, so don’t let her get to you.”
Cecilia didn’t ask further and enjoyed her prenatal meal.
Her curiosity for Jocelyn only grew.
She was sure Jocelyn wasn’t an aloof person. Just yesterday, Jocelyn had thanked her for the dessert.
Jocelyn, dining not too far away, inevitably overheard their conversation.
She didn’t pay any mind to it, focusing on her meal. However, the food in her mouth lost all its flavor.
At that moment, someone approached her.
When Jocelyn looked up to see Cecilia, she returned to her usual indifference. “Can I help you?”
。
Cecilia took out the extra food the restaurant had sent over and placed them on her table.
“Having takeout often isn’t good for your health. I have more than enough food here. If you don’t mind, have some of this instead.” Cecilia was actually worried about her rejection. However, she knew someone like Jocelyn was worth getting to know better. As the chief personal assistant to the CEO of Orion Corporation, she must have her strengths.
Jocelyn glanced at the exquisite meal Cecilia had brought over. She was about to refuse, but then she remembered Nicholas’s earlier words. Their relationship was strictly professional–nothing more. She didn’t need to cater to his likes and dislikes.
With that in mind, Jocelyn said to Cecilia, “Thank you.”
A sense of relief washed over Cecilia when she heard her say that. “You’re welcome. I’ll leave you to it.”
Only after Jocelyn saw Cecilia leave did she begin to eat the food Cecilia had brought. It was far more delicious than the takeout she had ordered for herself. Taking a deep breath, she dug in, eating heartily to make herself better.

I think the last chapters have some errors. It seems that some sentences are missing: For example, Queenie went to the hospital, but what’s happened a while before? Johnatan told Elliot that he shouldn’t been jealous of his young brothers, but it was not clear what happened before....
