Chapter 797 The Dinner
Nathaniel might have sounded indifferent, but Mason knew he was all talk and wouldn't act on his words, so
Mason simply instructed Jessica to take good care of Cecilia and to inform him if anything happened..
Jessica responded: All right.
Cecilia had cto understand her role, which was to stay by Nicholas’ side. For instance, during important
meetings, she was responsible for taking notes and handling necessary arrangements.
As she stepped out of Nicholas’ office, she saw Jessica engaged in a cheerful conversation with someone. At a
glance, she noticed the n“Mason” in bold letters. She has a date with Mason tonight, right?
Cecilia's guess was right. Once they entered the nearby office, Jessica said, “Cecilia, | won't be coming home
tonight. I’m planning to have an all-nighter with my best friend.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild. Not coming htonight? Spending the entire night with
her best friend?
Nevertheless, she didn’t question her further. “All right. Be careful.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I'll be fine.” After Jessica finished speaking, she settled into her office chair and began touching up her lipstick
and makeup.
No woman would want her boyfriend or fiancé dining privately with another woman at a romantic restaurant.
Cecilia felt it was inappropriate for Mason and Jessica to make such arrangements.
However, since she didn’t know who Mason's fiancée was, she felt it wasn’t her place to meddle in their affairs.
She started to delve into the records of every company meeting that Nicholas had given her.
“D*mn it, I've lost!” From the side, the occasional sounds of Jessica playing a gcould be heard. “You've got
to be kidding me! Can you even fight?”
Cecilia felt increasingly uncomfortable as she wasn’t able to focus on her work. “Jessica, could play your game
outside the office?”

Even before she was pregnant, Cecilia had struggled with too much noise, and now, while working and pregnant,
the constant sound of Jessica arguing over a gwas particularly grating.
“Yes, Cecilia? What did you say?” Jessica asked, her headphones on.
Cecilia rose to her feet, moved toward Jessica, and promptly removed her headphones. “I asked you to play your
mobile goutside.”
Jessica looked puzzled. “Why? | find it comfortable sitting here. | don’t want to go out. Besides, there are so
many secretaries and assistants outside. What if | disturb them?”
Jessica was not oblivious to how reprehensible her actions were at that moment.
She simply wanted to put Cecilia in her place and make her understand that within the company, she was not
her subordinate.
Cecilia had noticed this as well but managed to hold back her anger. “You're worried about disturbing them, but
aren't you concerned about disturbing me? Go outside and play your game, and don’t makerepeat what I've
just said.”
Reluctantly, Jessica stood up. “I'm sorry, Cecilia. | didn’t realize | was bothering you. I hadn't thought that
expecting mothers could be so sensitive. You know, another sister-in-law of mine had five kids, and she never
seemed as sensitive as you.”
Her words were not an apology but a clear attempt to provoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCecilia decided it was tto teach her a lesson.
When Jessica left, she deliberately slammed the door with great force.
Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Cecilia picked up his phone and dialed Sven’s number. “Helpget
the contact information of Mason's fiancée.”
Initially, Cecilia had planned to deal with Jessica later, but the woman continued to provoke her deliberately. You
started playing with fire, so don’t blme for this.
In the evening, after returning hand finishing her meal, Jessica hurriedly applied her makeup and selected a
dress from Cecilia’s wardrobe. “Cecilia, now that you're pregnant, this dress probably won't fit you anymore. How
about giving it to me?”
Without showing any sign of disdain, Cecilia responded naturally. “Sure. | was planning to discard it anyway. It's
yours now.”
Suddenly, Jessica lost interest in the expensive dress.

She had only intended to annoy Cecilia and wasn’t interested in taking the leftovers Cecilia no longer wanted.
