When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1316

Chapter 1316 Sense Of Defeat
Upon seeing the message, Mason immediately relayed it to Nathaniel.

“Mr. Rainsworth, didn't Mrs. Rainsworth explain to you about signing a contract with Eric?”

Nathaniel was engrossed in going through some documents when he suddenly heard those words, causing a heavy feeling in his heart. What explanation? I didn't even dare to ask her anything yesterday, fearful that I might unintentionally upset her again.

Naturally, he couldn't disclose anything to Mason. Instead, he asked, “What else did Lucille say?”

“Nothing much. She just said that Eric treats Mrs. Rainsworth differently,” Mason responded.

The oppressive aura surrounding Nathaniel had heightened once again.

The frustration within him had no outlet. He turned toward Mason and asked, “Have you been too free lately?”

Mason was utterly bewildered.

“How do you find time to chat with your girlfriend while at work?” Nathaniel asked.

Mason was at a loss.

After being thoroughly chastised by Nathaniel, Mason left the office feeling utterly wronged. He resolved never to share personal matters with Nathaniel again.

In fact, he found Nathaniel heartless.

At Ceci Corporation, Eric had finished his morning photoshoot. As he left the studio, he noticed that Cecilia was still not out of the conference room.

He walked over to Charlotte and the others, asking, “Has Ms. Cecille been in this meeting for so long? Has she not come out yet?”

Madeline answered, “It seems that the client is a big shot from overseas and also an acquaintance of Boss. Surely, the negotiations won't be settled quickly.”

While they were chatting, the office door was swung open.

Cecilia and Calvin emerged from the inside, sharing laughter and conversation.

When Eric caught sight of Calvin, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was unclear whether it was due to the natural animosity between love rivals, but when Eric looked at Calvin, he felt no fondness at all.

Calvin's piercing gaze also fell upon them, sweeping over Madeline and the other women, before settling on Eric.

“Hey, Mr. Palmer. I've heard a lot about you.” Calvin walked straight toward Eric, extending his hand.

Eric courteously shook hands with Calvin.
