When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 948 Shattered Her Dignity

Immediately, Jessica stepped forward. “Ceci… Ms. Smith, how did the signing of the contract go?”

Cecilia knew that these people weren’t interested in whether the contract was signed or not; they were only. rager to see if she had made a fool of herself.

She produced the signed contract. “It’s signed.

Everyone stared at her in disbelief when they heard those words.

How on earth did Cecilia manage to get the signature of the notoriously difficult CEO of Hardy Group?

Aubree was the person most despised by the employees. Every time Nicholas needed to discuss work matters with Aubree, they were all reluctant to tag along. They knew that if they went, they couldn’t avoid being humiliated.

“No way.”

The secretary named Serene stepped forward, taking the contract from Cecilia’s hands. Upon inspection, it was indeed stamped with the official seal of Hardy Group and signed by Aubree herself. There were no issues to be found.

The others also came over for a look, and were just as astonished.

Jessica was even more upset. Hadn’t Miranda mentioned that Aubree was known to be eccentric, there was, no way she would agree to sign a contract with Cecilia. So how did she manage to get her to sign it?

Her heart was pounding.

Cecilia safely stored the contract away. “I wonder if Ms. Miranda has finished work yet? Can I hand it over to her now?”

Immediately, a secretary remarked, “I noticed that Ms. Miranda hasn’t clocked out yet.”

Holding the contract in hand, Cecilia inquired about Miranda’s office’s location before heading there.

Miranda was leisurely listening to music in her office, patiently waiting for Cecilia to return so she could thoroughly embarrass her.

Cecilia soon arrived at her office door. She knocked and said, “Ms. Miranda.”

Miranda glanced over and said, “Come in.

She had assumed that Cecilia hadn’t secured the contract and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you only returning now? If you didn’t manage to close the deal, it’s not the end of the world. The company would only lose a bit of money. After all, you’re a daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family, they wouldn’t fire you.

Cecilia didn’t have the time to listen to all this. It was already late that day and she needed to get back to care for her children.

“The contract has been signed. If there’s nothing else, I be heading home”

Miranda was taken aback. “It’s signed already?”

“Yes.

Before Cecilia left, she added, “Ms. Miranda, when I went to secure the contract, Ms. Hardy mentioned that she doesn’t want you to be in charge of this project. She sail you’re unreliable, both in your personal conduct and work. Could you please hand over the project to another project manager? Thank you.”

Miranda’s face ashen.

Before she refute, she picked up the contract and saw that it was indeed signed.

She had tried several times to secure a deal with Aubree, but to no avail. Yet, Cecilia managed to seal the deal on her first attempt.

How could this be possible?

Cecilia must have used some sort of trick!

“Someone, come!”

Her assistant immediately entered. “Ms. Miranda, do you need anything?”

“Look into what Cecilia was up to before meeting Aubree,” Miranda instructed. Her dignity had been completely shattered that day. The contract she failed to secure, Cecilia managed to clinch in an instant, Aubree even insisted on not involving her.

Her assistant nodded. “Yes, I’ll have someone look into it right away.

Over an hour later, the assistant informed Miranda that Cecilia had made a detour to the Smith residence on her way to Hardy Group. It was unclear what she had gone there to do.

“Is that all there is?”

“Then, Cecilia waited for Aubree in the lobby of Hardy Group. It wasn’t long before Aubree personally came down to see her,” the assistant paused, “Did Cecilia know Aubree from before?”

Miranda frowned. “Cecilia was just a housewife, she never had a job before, how could she possibly know Aubree? It must be Nicholas who helped her behind the scenes.”

She clenched her fists tightly.

“I simply don’t believe she did this on her own.”
