When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 944 Stirring Up Trouble

Consequently, Jessica found herself even busier in the afternoon.

At last, Cecilia was undisturbed, providing her the peace she needed to focus on her work. She took the opportunity to learn about the various regulations and procedures for managing subordinates within Rainsworth Group.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

However, it wasn’t long before someone arrived at the CEO’s office.

The secretary named Serene immediately stood up to greet her. “Ms. Miranda, are you looking for Mr. Rainsworth?”

Her face was full of flattery, yet Miranda didn’t even spare her a glance. Her gaze wandered around the room, and upon spotting Cecilia’s workspace, she headed straight toward it.

Miranda didn’t knock, she just pushed open the office door.

Cecilia was engrossed in her work, oblivious to Miranda’s approach. By the time she heard a sound and looked up, Miranda was already almost in front of her.

“Goodness, was Elena really that ruthless, demoting her own daughter–in–law to a mere secretary’s position?”

Cecilia heard her mocking tone but didn’t mind it. “Is there something you need, Miranda?”

Back in kindergarten, Miranda had a rough encounter with Cecilia, leaving her with a deep–seated resentment.

Despite the presidential position of the preschool parents‘ association seeming insignificant, it was a matter of personal pride for Miranda. Moreover, it significantly influenced Felix’s standing in kindergarten.

At that time, there weren’t many children who would play with Felix, and it was all Cecilia’s fault.

“There’s nothing much. I’m just curious about what kind of work you’re doing here.”

As Miranda spoke, her hands rested on Cecilia’s office desk, casually flipping through a file she picked up.

She didn’t look at it for long before she tossed the document straight into the trash bin.

“What’s the big deal, is this even worth learning?” Miranda said disdainfully.

Cecilia knew she was deliberately trying to stir up trouble, hence, she kept her cool. “If you have nothing else to say, I’m going to get back to work.”

Miranda was relentless. “Aren’t you the CEO’s secretary? I have a task here that needs your attention.”

Before Cecilia could respond, Miranda added, “A secretary in the CEO’s office doesn’t just serve the boss.. Senior management also has the right to order you around.”

“What is it?” Cecilia asked, unusually calm.

Miranda particularly detested her air of superiority.

“Previously, Ms. Hardy of Hardy Group and Mr. Rainsworth has reached a preliminary agreement for collaboration, but they never got around to signing the contract. Could you please take the contract over to them and ensure it gets signed?”

It was just a matter of signing a contract. Miranda could have sent anyone, but she insisted on Cécilia,

“It’s just contract signing. I’ll send Jessica over,” Cecilia responded.

“No can do, they insisted it has to be the CEO’s secretary,” Miranda said, letting her assistant in from outside to hand the contract to Cecilia.

Aubree was a woman with eccentric quirks. Miranda was simply waiting for Cecilia to be humiliated and taken advantage of.

“All right then.”

Cecilia got up and took the contract from her.

Since she had chosen to work at Orion Corporation, it was only natural that she had to deal with some clients.

“Wishing you all the best then. Oh, and just a reminder you need to sign the contract before six this evening. Otherwise, Ms. Hardy will be boarding her international flight tonight.”

After saying her piece, Miranda left with a smile.

Glancing at the time, Cecilia realized it was already four in the afternoon.

However, she didn’t rush into things. Instead, she took her time to review the information about Hardy Group and the basic details about Aubree, the CEO.

After seeing the online reviews about Aubree, Cecilia finally understood why Miranda had specifically asked her to get the contract signed.

Aubree treated her e
