At that moment, George’s call came through. “You rascal! Are you planning on staying single. forever? Who gave you the courage to stand up your blind date?”
Over there, George was full of vigor.
Zachary was somewhat exasperated. “Grandpa, I’m busy with something.”
‘Busy? You think I don’t know that you’re out there every day, wasting your time with those good–for–nothing friends?” Clearly, George had lost his patience. “Get back here right now, or I’ll cut off all your options!”
Zachary had no other choice but to return first.
Meanwhile, at Orion Corporation.
After arriving at the company, Cecilia made a beeline for the top floor.
As Cecilia approached, dressed sharply yet still radiating an enchanting beauty, Mason couldn’t help but take a second look.
He still remembered how indifferent she used to be about dressing up. She wore dark- colored clothes every day, blending in rather than standing out–hardly resembling a prominent young lady.
But now, the woman before him was not only stunningly beautiful, but also exuded an aural of nobility and charm. It felt as if she had transformed into a completely different person.
“Ms. Smith, is there something you need?”
“I need to see your boss, Mr. Rainsworth,” Cecilia said aloofly.
Upon hearing this, Mason’s expression remained indifferent. “Mr. Rainsworth is quite busy today: I’m afraid he might not have time to see you,” he said.
Mason remained the same as always.
He had never particularly liked her, so naturally, he wouldn’t let her meet Nathaniel.
Because in the past, she had been turned away too many times, she had

Even before she arrived, she had inquired about Nathaniel’s schedule and found out that he had no important meetings for the day.
“Oh, really? Could you please let Mr. Rainsworth know that our collaboration ends here?” With that Cecilia was ready to leave
At that, Mason’s attitude changed.
“Ms. Smith, please wait a moment; I’ll check Mr. Rainsworth’s availability.” He dropped his haughty demeanor and escorted Cecilia all the way to the CEO’s office.
As they passed through the secretary’s arca, the secretaries who had been working there. couldn’t believe their eyes.
Cecilia?
They recalled that Cecilia had passed away more than four years ago.
The woman before them was elegantly dressed and stunning, exuding an aura that was nothing like the unadorned, clueless, and humble Ms. Smith from before,
Under their curious gazes, Cecilia entered Nathaniel’s office.
At that time, Nathaniel was standing in front of a large floor–to–ceiling window. He was wearing a crisp suit that accentuated his tall and slender figure, his silhouette imposing
“Mr. Rainsworth.”
Mason knocked on the door, then tactfully stepped out, closing the door behind him.
Nathaniel turned around to look at Cecilia, who was standing by the door.
The woman before him had changed into professional attire, adding an intellectual charm that hadn’t been there before.
Yet, his mind was filled with the memory of that night–the way she held her wine, her eyes. as alluring as silk.
Cecilia felt somewhat uneasy under his intense gaze.
“Mr. Rainsworth, I’m not sure why you had Mr. Sanders bring me here. Is there something you need?”
With a hint of amusement in his gaze, Nathaniel beckoned her over. “Come here.”
After hesitating for a moment, Cecilia made her way toward him. However, she stopped a meter away from him as she caught a faint whiff of tobacco.
She remembered that Nathaniel did not like to smoke.
Even though he occasionally smoked due to work stress, his obsession with cleanliness. ensured he never let his clothes absorb the smell of smoke.
Indeed, people changed over time.
Nathaniel slowly leaned in toward her. “You say you’ve lost your memory? Aren’t you curious about what happened between us?”
Cecilia gazed at him. “Let’s let bygones be bygones, I only want to focus on the present and
the future.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
