Nathaniel unconsciously snubbed the cigarette in his hand..

He initially thought that Cecilia would burst into tears and throw a tantrum or slap him as she did. in the past

when she cout of the bathroom.

However, none of that happened. Instead, she was extraordinarily calm.

“I'm going out for a stroll.”

Cecilia's voice was hoarse, and she left the office right after saying that without waiting for Nathaniel’s approval.

For sinexplicable reason, she sensed multiple odd gazes fixed on her as she did so though there were hardly

any people there.

By the tshe stepped out of the building, the sky was somewhat overcast. At spoint in time, a drizzle had

begun again.

She stood in the rain with a hint of desolation in her eyes..

As she walked down the street, she was oblivious to an unassuming black car quietly trailing behind her.

Utter worry was reflected in the eyes of the person in the car.

“Pull over.”

“Understood.”

Soon, the car cto a halt.

In the car, Calvin snagged an umbrella and jacket before he alighted from the vehicle, standing tall.

Holding an umbrella in one hand, he quickly walked up to Cecilia.

The umbrella blocked the rain. As soon as Cecilia turned her head, she was greeted by the sight of Calvin's

strikingly handsface.

Calvin handed her the jacket. “Put this on.”

Right then, Cecilia's clothes were wet from the rain.

She took the jacket, draping it over her shoulders. “Thank you.”

Then, she asked, “Why are you here?”

Calvin cspecifically to seek her out, but fearing that it might pressure her, he fibbed, “I just happened to

wrap up sbusiness nearby and ran into you.”

“How did it go?” Cecilia asked.

“Very smoothly.”

Calvin flashed her a tender smile.

He proceeded to offer, “To celebrate, how about | take you out for dinner?”

Cecilia quickly shook her head. “Nathaniel sent a bodyguard to tail me. If he were to find out that we went out to

eat, he would undoubtedly get mad.”

For sreason, a sense of bitterness stung Calvin's throat.

“Do you not trust me, Ceci?”

Cecilia looked at him in puzzlement, only to hear him continue, “I’m not afraid of Nathaniel. Now that your plan

has been completed, we can go back. You don’t have to restrain yourself because of him.”

Cecilia didn’t know how to respond to that.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Calvin or feel that he was inferior to Nathaniel. She simply felt that she had caused

him too much trouble despite being mere friends.

At her silence, understanding dawned upon Calvin.

Aside from the one tfive years ago when Cecilia went abroad that she sought his help, she had never

voluntarily asked him for assistance whenever she encountered any difficulties overseas.

Even when she was picked on by the foreign men, she only chose only to make a police report without confiding

in anyone.

Had it not been for Martha failing to locate her, he would have remained oblivious to the fact that she almost got

assaulted on the way to work.

That day, Martha sought him out privately and said, “Ceci has always been stubborn since young. Apart from her

father, she only ever turned to Nathaniel for help whenever something happened. She toldit was because

Nathaniel was her husband, one of the few family members she had left. | believe that when you becher

boyfriend and marry her, she will rely on you with peace. of mind.”

Recalling those words, Calvin was just about to take out the item he had been carrying with him. ever since he

returned from his pocket when Cecilia relented, “Alright, then. Let's go and have dinner together.”

She forced a smile, then added, “It just so happens that | have something to discuss with you.”

After so many years of interaction, coupled with their friendship since young, she had cto regard him as a

brotherly figure.

When it cdown to it, he was still daunted, afraid that giving voice to his feelings would lead to him losing

her as even a friend.

He knew Cecilia all too well and was aware that she had no romantic feelings for him because she was very «

obvious about it when she loved someone and would never hide it.
