Chapter 964 Heart To Heart 

Cecilia couldn’t help but feel a subtle sense of unease, the closed–off space adding to the tension in the air. 

“Mr. Rainsworth, what can I do for you?” she asked. 

Nicholas was filled with complex emotions upon hearing her address him respectfully. “Ceci, do I can’t compare to Nathaniel?” 

Cecilia was taken aback by the question. 

How am I supposed to respond to that?

Noticing her silence, Nicholas softened his voice. “You saw how the meeting went earlier. I want to hear your thoughts, honestly. Don’t worry, I won’t be upset. Think of this as a heart–to–heart between old friends.” 

Cecilia didn’t want to lie. 

She lowered her gaze, speaking slowly and thoughtfully. “I believe both you and Nathaniel have your own strengths. For instance, you’re much more composed, not as moody as he can be. You’re also considerate, more inclined to comfort others and avoid hurting anyone, which is quite the opposite of him.” 

She paused before continuing. “As for the meeting earlier, I think it’s important to remember that Nathaniel has been with Orion Corporation far longer than you. When he took over, the company was in disarray. Orion’s current scale and stability are worlds apart from what it was back then. The senior executives who now hold high positions have grown accustomed to steady profits. They’re not inclined to take risks easily. That’s why they keep bringing up Nathaniel–he’s the one who steered them through chaos to comfort, and they don’t want to jeopardize that.” 

Cecilia approached the matter with an objective perspective, but after hearing her words, Nicholas thought she was just trying to console him. 

“Do you remember when we were younger? You would lower your head, unable to meet my gaze whenever you lied,” he remarked, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. 

At this, Cecilia immediately looked up, her expression earnest. “I’m not lying; what I said is the truth.” 

She simply didn’t mention Nathaniel’s strengths. 

Nicholas approached her, his face slightly pale. “You say that Nathaniel and I each have our own strengths. What are his, exactly?” he asked, a hint of frustration in his voice. Even now, he couldn’t grasp why Cecilia, who was meant to be his, had been snatched away by Nathaniel instead. 

Why could I never measure up to Nathaniel? Even the woman I love chose Nathaniel in the end. 

When Cecilia met Nicholas‘ gaze, she was momentarily speechless. 

Nathaniel’s strengths? 

After a quick search through her thoughts, she finally said, “He’s known for his swift and decisive actions, as well as his boldness and meticulousness…” 

But as she spoke, she was surprised to find that she struggled to articulate Nathaniel’s merits clearly.

Nicholas listened in silence. 

“Is that all?” 

“Yes, that’s all.” Cecilia quickly nodded in agreement. 

She really didn’t want to continue this conversation any further. 

Nicholas remained unconvinced. “Then let me ask you what do you like about him?”
