When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970 Snatching Their Land 

Secing his stubbornness, Cecilia stopped refusing. “All right, then wait for me. I’ll have breakfast first.” 

“Sure, there’s no rush.” 

Nathaniel lowered his head, continuing with his work. 

As Cecilia passed by him, she couldn’t help but feel admiration toward Nathaniel upon seeing the densely packed Braille on his computer keyboard. 

With him unable to see, even handling documents required him to wear headphones to listen to the text being read aloud by the computer. His efficiency was nowhere near that of a person with normal vision. 

After Cecilia had her breakfast, Nathaniel sent her to the company. 

When she arrived at the top floor, nearly everyone’s gaze turned toward her. 

Cecilia wondered if there was something on her. Then, she heard a voice ask, “Ms. Smith, are you here to hand in your resignation?” 

The speaker was Serene. 

Cecilia was somewhat bewildered and exasperated. 

“What do you mean? Why would I need to resign?” 

Serene was also taken aback. She pointed toward Jessica, who was not far off making coffee for everyone, and said, “This morning, Jessica said you didn’t dare to come to the office because you were afraid of losing to Ms. Miranda.” 

Cecilia was truly at a loss for words. 

“I simply woke up late today. How did that turn into me being too scared to come to the office?” 

“Huh?” Upon hearing what Cecilia said, Serene realized it was a misunderstanding. 

At this point, Jessica also came over, her confusion evident. “Cecilia, have you come here to resign?” 

Cecilia really felt like slapping her. 

“I’m here for work. Did you forget how Mdm. Elena once said that I could come to the office anytime?” 

While speaking, Cecilia glanced at her phone to check the time. “It’s only eleven now, and I only need to work three to four hours a day. Isn’t that enough time?” 

Jessica was rendered speechless. 

She had no idea that Cecilia had overslept. All she wanted was to embarrass Cecilia and then curry favor with Miranda. 

“To be honest, Cecilia, if you can’t snatch a project from Imminence Corporation, just let Miranda know. I’m certain she wouldn’t actually make you resign,” Jessica said, her voice laced with insincerity.

Cecilia, I know it hasn’t been easy for you. Just say the word, and I’ll turn a blind eye to what happened at yesterday’s meeting and even forget about the agreement.” 

Cecilia listened to the two of them singing the same tune, a mocking glint in her eyes. 

“Since I’ve said I’ll do it, naturally, I’ll follow through. However, Ms. Miranda, aren’t you afraid that our competitors will get wind of my plans if you keep broadcasting that I’m going to snatch Imminence Corporation’s project? Won’t that put me in a difficult position? Or perhaps, you simply want me to lose?” 

After she finished speaking, both Jessica and Miranda were taken aback. 

“Don’t even think about shirking your responsibilities prematurely. Only the people in the CEO’s office know about this. Who else would know?” Miranda retorted. 

Cecilia glanced around. The CEO’s office was bustling with at least dozens of people. Who could guarantee that there wasn’t anyone from Imminence Corporation among them? 

Her suspicions were indeed correct, as there were indeed individuals from Imminence Corporation present in the CEO’s office. 

The news about their intention to seize the project from Imminence Corporation spread rapidly and was soon leaked to the corporation by an insider. 

Mason found it somewhat amusing. “Does Miranda actually intend to snatch our project away?”
