When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 963 Come To My Office

Ever since Imminence Corporation entered Tudela, it had all but backed the local companies into a corner. Orion Corporation, unfamiliar with its tactics, quickly found itself at a disadvantage. While everyone was preoccupied with curbing Imminence Corporation’s growing dominance, no one dared to after its clients–Cecilia was the first to do so.

Nicholas‘ gaze was filled with admiration when he heard that suggestion.

He had long since grown tired of being passive; it was indeed time for him to take the initiative.

Cecilia pressed on, “No company has endless resources and Imminence Corporation must have spent a fortune to lock in that deal with Hardy Group. This is the perfect time for us to reclaim some of the clients they’ve taken from us. Let’s turn their aggressive spending into our advantage.”

“Will that work?” questioned one of the executives.

Another one of them chimed in, “It’s not like when Mr. Nathaniel was in charge. We have to tread carefully now. If we start poaching Imminence Corporation’s clients, we might provoke them and get sabotaged ourselves.”

Another agreed, adding, “Exactly. The people behind Imminence Corporation are too cunning. If Mr. Nathaniel had recovered his sight, maybe we could’ve taken them on. But as things stand, we have to be cautious.”

They were referring to Nathaniel.

Cecilia was surprised that they all trusted Nathaniel so much at this juncture.

Indeed, back then, Orion Corporation was nowhere near as expansive as it is now, and it was riddled with various crises.

Back then, Orion Corporation was far from the powerhouse it was today, plagued by crises on all fronts. Nathaniel had barely reached adulthood when he took on the immense burden of turning things around. Through sheer will and determination, he built Orion into a major player, both at home and abroad–his name becoming widely respected. But now, with his sight gone, it felt like everything he’d worked for had crumbled. Cecilia couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of regret for him. He should have remained a powerful, influential figure, yet here he was, relegated to working in a small, obscure company.

Nicholas‘ face darkened, but he swiftly composed himself and asked, “Do you think I’m not as capable as my older brother?”

His words hung in the air, casting a heavy silence over the room. No one dared to voice what they were all thinking, but the truth lingered unspoken–deep down, they believed Nicholas couldn’t compare to Nathaniel. If Nathaniel were in charge, Orion Corporation wouldn’t be facing defeat after defeat at the hands of Imminence Corporation. Under his leadership, they were certain Imminence Corporation would never have gained a foothold in Tudela.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Nicholas said, “I agree with Ms. Smith. We should seize this opportunity to counterattack Imminence Corporation.”

Nicholas knew what they were thinking. He picked up a glass of water and took a sip. He reache glass of water, bringing it to his lips. The water, once warm, had turned cold, its sharpness grating against his throat. His hand clenched the glass tightly, the veins on his knuckles bulging.

If it weren’t for my illness, I would have taken over Rainsworth Group, and I’d be every bit as capable as Nathaniel.

“Mr. Rainsworth, we need to tread carefully,” one of the seasoned employees urged, his tone laced with doubt. Despite Nicholas‘ position, the veteran staff remained skeptical, quick to voice their concerns.

“We’ve worked tirelessly to build Orion “Exactly,” added a long–time shareholder and senior executive Corporation to where it is today. Instead of stirring up trouble, let’s focus on securing new clients and keeping the company stable.” His main concern was clear–short–term gains and maintaining the status quo, with little interest in bold risks.

“No need for further discussion. I’ve made my decision he declared. “The sales department’s manager can handle the arrangements. Meeting adjourned.”

When Nicholas rose to his feet, he turned to Cecilia. “Ms. Smith, could you please come to my

“All right.”

Cecilia followed him to his office.

office?”

Earlier, she had observed Nicholas‘ struggle. The senior executives refused to heed his words, making it clear that leading as CEO was anything but easy for him.

Upon arriving at the CEO’s office, Nicholas said to her, “Close the door.”

“Okay,” she complied. Nicholas activated the automatic curtains, causing them to descend, completely blocking the view from the outside and making the office feel sealed off from the world.

They were the only ones in the office
