When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972 Getting Rid Of Her Shadow 

“Then why do you all still want to slack off?” Cecilia pointedly referred to their work attitude just now. 

The few men who had just rebutted Cecilia were now devoid of confidence. 

“Making money is for oneself. I promise you this now: will become the manager of Team Five within ten days. If you want to start making money from this month, work hard. I don’t need any help from you; just do your own job well and don’t cause me any trouble.” 

After she finished speaking, Cecilia walked away, leaving the group stunned. 

Was Cecilia washing her hands of them? 

She also said she didn’t need their help. 

And what about her claim of becoming their manager within ten days? Was she just bragging? 

Could it be another case of someone climbing the ladder through connections? 

The members of Team Five were each lost in their own thoughts. 

Cecilia didn’t bother with them either. After spending a solid three hours in the company, she clocked out. 

Jessica asked with confusion, “Cecilia, are you leaving already?” 

“Yes, I’m heading home early since I promised to have dinner with Eli today.” 

“But it’s only four o’clock now.” 

“So what? I want to cook for Eli myself.” Cecilia rolled her eyes at her. 

Jessica was instantly rendered speechless, unsure of what to say next. 

Worried that Cecilia would go to meet with the suppliers, she decided to leave work at the same time as Cecilia. 

Unexpectedly, Nathaniel was there to pick up Cecilia before they really did head home. 

For the next two days, Cecilia would leave work early. She would either spend her time composing in the music room or cooking for Elliot, not appearing anxious at all. 

Since it was now the weekend, there was no need to go to work either. 

Jessica was at home, watching over the family of three, feeling a mixture of envy and jealousy. 

“Mommy, we haven’t really gone out since our last camping trip,” Elliot said, following Cecilia’s suggestion. He asked her, “Can we go to the park with Jonathan?” 

“All right, let me ask Vivian.” 

With that, Cecilia called Vivian. 

Vivian had long wanted to arrange a meeting, so she readily agreed:

Chapter 972 Getting Rid Of Her Shadow 

+5 Pearls 

Cecilia was getting ready for a day out at the park when an idea struck her and she turned to Nathaniel, saying, “Vivian and I haven’t spent time together in a while. Do you mind not tagging along and being a third wheel today? Is that okay?” 

Her coquettish tone instantly melted Nathaniel’s heart 

Though he yearned to go with them, he couldn’t bear to refuse Cecilia. 

“All right.” 

Only then did Cecilia cheer up. She then casually asked Jessica, “Jessica, do you want to go to the park?” 

Upon seeing that Nathaniel would remain at home all day, Jessica wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity to be alone with him. There was no way she would choose to go to a cr*ppy place like the park on a day like this. 

“No thanks. I’ve been moving around too much lately, and my le… seems to be acting up again. I 

think it’s best if I stay home.” 

“All right then, goodbye.” 

With a smile, Cecilia bid them farewell. 

She had known, without a doubt, that Jessica would choose to be alone with Nathaniel. 

Nowadays, Cecilia had quite a bit of trust in Nathaniel, which was why she allowed him to stay. With him remaining home, she had essentially tied Jessica, her pesky shadow, there. With this, Cecilia could prevent Jessica from trailing her. 

The mother and son duo soon left for the park. 

Vivian, along with Jonathan, had been waiting in the park for a while. Spotting Cecilia, she waved. “Over here, Ceci!”
