Miranda simply couldn’t believe that Cecilia could snatch the project away from Imminence Corporation. 

After she finished speaking, Jocelyn didn’t hesitate to instruct a secretary nearby to draft an agreement regarding the matter they had just discussed. 

Then, Miranda and Cecilia were asked to sign. 

Just before signing, an idea suddenly struck Miranda. “Isn’t this agreement a bit unfair? If Cecilia wins, she gets to be the manager. But what if I win? She doesn’t seem to face any consequences.” 

Cecilia asked, “If I fail to secure the project, what would you have me do?” 

“Quit your job!” Miranda had long been fed up with Cecilia always hanging around the company. 

Upon hearing that, Cecilia didn’t hesitate to agree, simply responding, “All right.” 

The agreement was amended with the additional clause, after which both parties affixed their signatures. 

They even called Nicholas out to act as a witness. 

The CEO’s office was exceptionally lively that day. 

After Miranda and the others left, Cecilia took a moment to rest. Only then did she begin to contemplate how to seize the project. 

After some careful consideration, Cecilia realized that Imminence Corporation had been the one snatching projects from the other companies up until now. Yet, no one had ever thought to challenge Imminence Corporation for their projects. This meant that they were likely unprepared for such an eventuality. 

Cecilia managed to dig up the projects that Imminence Corporation had previously snatched away and began to meticulously examine each one, determining which project would be the easiest to reclaim. 

While researching these matters, time seemed to fly by exceptionally fast. 

Everyone had clocked out, but Cecilia was still in the office, diligently poring over her work. 

It wasn’t until her phone rang that Cecilia was brought back to reality. 

She picked it up and, to her surprise, saw that it was already six o’clock. 

“Why haven’t you clocked out yet?” came the deep questioning voice of Nathaniel after she answered the phone. 

“I’m leaving right now.” 

After giving her response, Cecilia quickly gathered her belongings and then headed downstairs, purse in 

hand. 

Downstairs, Nathaniel was patiently waiting in the car for Cecilia. Once she got in, he couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t Orion Corporation finish work at five–thirty? Do you need to start doing overtime now?”

“You’re pregnant now and shouldn’t work overtime.”

Nathaniel was puzzled. He had clearly given Cecilia a black card, and she herself was a well–known composer. Obviously, she was not short of money, so why did she still need to work overtime? 

Leaning back in the seat, Cecilia answered, “Many expectant mothers continue to work, you know. Besides, my pregnancy is stable now, so there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll take good care of myself.” 

She had worked a bit longer that afternoon, but honestly, she wasn’t tired at all. 

If she was tired, she would definitely take a good rest. She wouldn’t risk affecting her children in any way. 

Nathaniel knew her nature well; once she made up her mind about something, she wouldn’t change it. 

“I’ll worry about you,” he added. 

“Don’t worry. Be good now,” Cecilia said cheerfully, cajoling him as one would a child. She then produced a small slice of cake. “Here, have some cake.” 

Nathaniel was completely helpless against her coquettish charm. He was not typically fond of sweets, but he obediently opened his mouth and finished the cake, one bite at a time. 

“Why have you been buying me cake recently?” He was somewhat curious as it wasn’t his birthday or anything. 

“Eating more sweets will lift your spirits,” replied Cecilia. 

She couldn’t bring herself to voice her concern that Nathaniel might overthink due to his inability to see.
