NovelEnglishChapter 816 Have You Done Something Guilty
Cassandra attempted to barge in, but Jocelyn blocked her way.
“Ms. Evans, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to go in? If Mr. Nicholas loses his temper, you'll
have to handle it yourself.”
Upon hearing Jocelyn’s words, Cassandra had no choice but to leave, deciding to wait in the CEO's office for
Nicholas to finish his meeting.
Jocelyn didn’t bother with her anymore and headed to inform Nicholas about her arrival discreetly.
Nicholas’ brows furrowed slightly. “I got it. You can get back to work. Don’t bother about her.”
“Understood.”
As Cecilia was seated not too far from Nicholas, she roughly heard Jocelyn’s words.
Cassandra is here? Judging from Jocelyn’s expression, her arrival probably doesn’t bode well.
Cecilia felt that she was quite likely the reason.
Noticing Cecilia seemingly lost in thought, Nicholas gently nudged her and lowered his voice to ask, “What's
wrong?”

She immediately snapped back to reality and shook her head.
“It's nothing. I'm sorry, | just zoned out.”
“Are you tired?”
Nicholas‘ voice deepened further.
“No.”
Cecilia felt even more embarrassed.
She then continued documenting the key contents of the meeting. While listening to the others present
discussing the plans, Nicholas had his attention drawn to Cecilia from tto time.
An hour later, the meeting finally cto an end.
Before Nicholas could return to his office, Cassandra had already rushed over.
“Nicholas.”
As expected, she saw Cecilia too, walking out of the conference room.
Seemingly trying to assert her authority, andra hooked her arm through Nicholas’ in front of
everybody and said, “Cecilia, you've started working too?”
At once, the crowd directed their gazes toward Cecilia.
They only knew that Nicholas had replaced his secretary with a new one, but they had no idea what the Knowing
well that Cassandra had no brothers, they began speculating that Cecilia was possibly the disabled wife of
Nathaniel.
Most of the senior executives here had been replaced by Nicholas, so there were very few who recognized
Cecilia.
However, they had a rough idea, that the last nof Nathaniel’s wife was Smith.
Coincidentally, they remembered that the secretary before them also had the slast name!
Cecilia knew well Cassandra’s visit was nothing good. “Yeah. Mom toldto chere to learn how to manage
a company’s affairs,” she responded, her tone neither servile nor overbearing.
Nicholas cast a glance at the senior executives at the back who had yet to leave.
“Why is everyone still here today? Do you all wish to work overtime?” he asked with a seemingly teasing tone.
The senior executives, who were there for the , responded with a chuckle and swiftly departed from the
scene.
Cecilia was ready to leave with the others, but Cassandra stopped her. “Cecilia, you seem in such a hurry to
leave. Have you done something guilty?”

“Guilty?” Cecilia turned to look at her. “What do | have to feel guilty about?”
Cassandra was just about to mention the matter of Cecilia becoming Nicholas’ secretary when she was
interrupted by the man beside her.
“Cassandra, wait forin the office.”
“Nicholas...” Cassandra refused, standing rooted to the spot. “Why won't you letbe your secretary, but allow
her instead? She's your sister-in-law. Aren’t you afraid of becoming the subject of rumors and gossip?”
Cecilia laughed. “Ms. Evans, don’t you think there's something wrong about what you just said? What do you
mean when you say he’ll becthe subject of rumors and gossip if | bechis secretary?”
She could tell that Cassandra cared deeply for Nicholas. Yet, at the thought of her face and how Jonathan was
nearly harmed, she deliberately continued provoking her.
“Being a secretary is a perfectly normal profession. Only those with impure thoughts would consider it otherwise.
| know you're worried because your father is with his secretary. But rest assured, Nicholas and | aren’t the people
you imagine us to be,” Cecilia added without holding back.
Upon hearing this, Cassandra beceven more furious.
“How dare you talk about my dad?”
She raised her hand to strike Cecilia, but Nicholas swiftly seized her wrist. “That's enough! Go to my office. Don’t «
makerepeat myself.”
