Chapter 170 Came Back To Life
What Mason meant was that it was acceptable for Cecilia to throw tantrums for the time being.
However, if this behavior persisted, there would inevitably come a day when Nathaniel would grow tired of it. When that day came, it would be truly impossible for them to stay together.
Cecilia was no fool. She could discern the underlying meaning in his words.
“Mr. Sanders, may I ask if you have a girlfriend? Or are you married?”
Beneath his golden–rimmed glasses, Mason’s eyes glimmered. “I have a fiancée.”
Whenever he thought about his fiancée, he felt somewhat helpless.
Though the two met through a blind date and fell in love, the woman was quite immature, often losing her temper.
Because of his work commitments, he stood her up, leading her to consider calling off the wedding.
She treated marriage as if it were a game.
“She must really like you, right?”
Like Nathaniel, Mason was utterly inconsiderate, treating others with cold indifference.
If his fiancée didn’t like him, she probably wouldn’t have agreed to marry him.
“We’re compatible, but it’s not like we’re in love,” Mason responded.
“I hope you can always maintain this stance in the future.”
With that, Cecilia lowered her head to attend to her own work.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Mason didn’t understand what she meant by that, and he didn’t continue the conversation.
After he left the CEO’s office, he picked up his phone. He saw a message from his fiancée that read: Working late again. It’s always the same, Why don’t you marry your company? I don’t want to be with you anymore.
Mason’s temples throbbed intensely.
“Here we go again. Just keep making a fuss.”
If she doesn’t want to get married, fine..
It’s not like I can’t find another woman.
If I had known she was so immature, I wouldn’t have wasted my time dating her.

After Nathaniel and Calvin headed to the conference room, they didn’t emerge until noon.
Both individuals kept their conversation private, leaving no one aware of what they discussed or how the discussion went.
Cecilia was quite worried about Calvin.
In the country. Nathaniel wielded absolute power. Many of his projects had been making no progress.
As soon as Calvin emerged, he found her.
“Come on, let’s go grab something to eat together.
Yesterday was her birthday, and he deeply regretted that he couldn’t spend it with her.
Cecilia glanced over his shoulders.
“Don’t worry.” Calvin said, understanding her concerns. “Nathaniel is busy with his work. Besides, didn’t he ask you to keep me company?
“Okay.”
Cecilia quickly packed up her things and left the office with Calvin.
As soon as they left, the secretaries outside the CEO’s office began whispering among themselves.
“Who exactly is this Ms. Smith? She works in Mr. Rainsworth’s office, yet she’s also seen with. other bosses.”
Most of them had been hired within the recent years.
Nathaniel had high expectations of those around him. Aside from Mason, no one else had been able to remain by his side for long
However, some seniors with more experience knew Cecilia.
The woman held her hands in front of her, a look of disdain on her face. “You don’t know her? She’s Mr. Rainsworth’s ex–wife.”
As soon as she spoke, the surroundings fell into an instant silence.
“Didn’t Mr. Rainsworth’s ex–wife pass away?”
“But she somehow came back to life. All right, enough chatter. Let’s get back to work.”
The woman waved her hand dismissively.
She carried out her duties with a professional demeanor.
Deep down, however, she hated Cecilia immensely.
How could a woman who was hard of hearing, who now lacked any status or background, and had nothing to her name possibly be worthy of Nathaniel?
Those who aspired to be Nathaniel’s secretary were individuals with clean backgrounds and extensive experience.
Upon exiting the conference room, Nathaniel learned that Cecilia had gone out with Calvin.
He didn’t get angry; instead, he had his bodyguard send him their location.
