When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942 Administrative Logistics
Jessica was taken. When did I say that it was inconvenient for me to work and that I needed to take a leave?

“That's not the case, Cecilia. It's convenient for me to work.”

After hearing that, Cecilia looked up at her and said, “Jessica, you should still call me Ms. Smith. We're at work now. Let's not confuse our professional relationship with our personal one. Right now, you're my assistant, and what's an assistant's role? It's to help me with my work, isn't it? If you can't even assist me with something as simple as pouring a glass of water, how can I entrust you with other tasks?”

Cecilia reasoned with Jessica in an extremely logical manner.

Originally, the other secretaries in the office thought Cecilia was somewhat unreasonable. However, after hearing her speech, they realized it made sense. After all, it was Jessica's job to complete this task.

A hint of resentment flashed in Jessica's eyes. “Haven't I already fetched the water for you?”

“What I asked for was warm water. What did you bring me?” Cecilia inquired.

“The hot water will become lukewarm after cooling down, right? Drinking too much water with mixed temperatures isn't good for your health,” Jessica cleverly argued.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been highly infuriated by Jessica or perhaps would have outright dismissed her.

Noticing the other secretaries around him, an excellent idea suddenly struck Cecilia.

She rose from her seat and walked away from her workstation.

Jessica asked with confusion, “Cecilia, where are you going?”

“I have some business to attend to,” responded Cecilia.

Jessica instantly responded, “What's the matter? Let me accompany you.”

Cecilia thought. She's not tagging along to keep me company. Clearly, she's trying to keep an eye on me.

“I have something to ask Mr. Rainsworth. Do you want to tag along?” Cecilia asked.
