Chapter 941 Guilt Tripping Cecilia Upon hearing the sound, Serene and the others turned to look, only to see Miranda, accompanied by her assistant, appearing on the scene, her eyes filled with displeasure.

Serene, along with three female staff members, turned pale in an instant.

Miranda was notoriously unreasonable within the corporate headquarters. She was unapproachable and even had an intense disdain for women.

All of her assistants were men. The women who used to work under her had all left due to various reasons she had orchestrated.

"Ms. Miranda, perhaps there's been a misunderstanding We weren't discussing you just now," Serene, as the secretary of the CEO's office, was quick on her feet. She immediately clarified, “We were talking about the former boss' wife who, surprisingly, is now working as a mere secretary in the CEO's office.” Serene had also made inquiries about the preferences of the upper echelons. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to becthe CEO's secretary, She knew that Miranda didn't fancy Cecilia.

In truth, even without prying, one could make an educated guess. As fellow daughters-in-law of the Rainsworth family and potential successors of Orion Corporation, competition was inevitable.

Originally, Miranda had intended to make things difficult for these four women, but after hearing what Serene said, she lifted her brows slightly. "Cecilia has poor hearing. Being a secretary might be difficult for her. In the future, be mindful of how you speak around her." "Understood." Serene and the other three hastily nodded.

Only then did Miranda and her assistant take the elevator up.

After she left, the quartet breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them said, "I never expected that she-devil would let us off so easily. I thought she would fire us on the spot.

"Thankfully, Serene was sharp-witted." "Anyway, she mentioned something about Cecilia having poor hearing. What's wrong with her ears?" Serene replied, "She needs to wear a hearing aid. It seems she's deaf.” "No wonder. When we were talking earlier, she just walked away like that. It turns out she didn't hear us." At that moment, Cecilia had already arrived at her office and was beginning to catch up on the work that had been left behind a few days earlier.

It wasn't long before she saw one of the individuals who had been discussing her earlier downstairs pass by the door. She couldn't help but take a few more glances, eventually realizing that this person was also a secretary from the CEO's office.

Having only been at the company for a few days, it was quite normal for Cecilia not to remember Serene.

Now, she had intentionally remembered the other secretaries in the office to avoid not recognizing them in the future.

Right then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Jessica hobbled in. "Cecilia, you guys really quick. You didn't even wait for me." She had already changed into a fresh set of clothes and even taken a bath, washing off all the perfthat had clung to her skin.

She reckoned she could finally hitch a ride back with Nathaniel after work that day.

When Cecilia saw her approaching, she thought about how she had always indulged Jessica. Now, it was tto start setting the latter straight. After all, she would have to rectify this situation sooner or later. “Jessica, could you please fetcha glass of warm water?" Jessica was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Cecilia would actually start ordering her around.

She was somewhat reluctant as she responded, “All right.' In full view of everyone, she limped her way to the pantry.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, she fetched a glass of hot water and handed it to Cecilia.

"Cecilia, you know my leg isn't in the best shape. If you're thirsty again, could you possibly get the watem yourself Jessica deliberately raised her voice, making sure that the other secretaries in the office could hear her. As expected, speople had indeed glanced in their direction.

Cecilia lightly touched the water cup; it was scalding hot.

If she hadn't touched it first and drank it directly, she definitely m would'velscorched her mouth.

"So you're saying it's not convenient for you to work right now, is that it? In that case, you should go to the HR department and take a leave. I'll approve it," Cecilia calmly responded. Very well. She's even trying to guilt-trip me. X
