When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 93 Hire An Acting CEO

Suddenly, Nathaniel felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He set down the documents he was holding and then instructed Mason, “Hire an acting CEO!”

Mason was taken aback. “Mr. Rainsworth, what’s this about?”

“I need to take a break for a while, Nathaniel responded solemnly. “Unless it’s something significant, there’s no need to report to me.”

In a large corporation, hiring a CEO was quite commonplace.

Mason, however, was quite taken aback.

After Nathaniel acquired his position, he had been hands–on with everything. For the sake of his career, he didn’t allow himself a sliver of rest.

Yet, surprisingly, he was ready to relinquish his power.

It took a while for Mason to regain his composure.

“Understood. I’ll post a job opening externally,” Mason replied and left.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel reviewed the document in front of him repeatedly, his mind filled with thoughts of Cecilia.

He was particularly unwilling to accept the truth.

Over the years, he had tirelessly worked, earning money around the clock.

He did all that to compensate for the deficit caused by the Smith family’s deception. He wasn’t just working to make up for the money, but also his dignity.

For Nathaniel, billions were nothing significant!

However, those billions had subjected him to immense humiliation in high society.

Once, he was viewed by everyone as a fool who tried to climb the social ladder using a woman, only to be made a laughingstock!

Not only did he lose billions, but he also had to marry a woman with a hearing disability!

Even after enduring all that, he still didn’t have what he wanted.

He was abandoned by Cecilia, and she even intentionally forgot him.

The thought of all those made Nathaniel adjust his tie. He decided to bring the child back personally.

Then, he was going to confront Cecilia about her feigned amnesia and teach her a lesson.

Nathaniel was deep in thought, wrestling with his inner conflicts, until a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.

“Come in,” he said.

The office door was nudged open from the outside.

Cecilia was dressed in a light–colored outfit and standing outside. Her beautiful, clear eyes were locked with Nathaniel’s deep gaze.

Nathaniel instinctively adjusted his tie, restoring his immaculate appearance. “Ms. Smith, is there something you need?”

Cecilia strolled in with grace and placed a document on Nathaniel’s desk.

When she bent over, he had a sweeping view of her chest.

A tightness seized Nathaniel’s throat, causing him to avert his gaze.

However, it wasn’t long before he brazenly resumed his gazing! Cecilia is my wife, so why can’t I look at her? Also, after not seeing her for several years, I feel she has become even more charming than before.

Cecilia didn’t notice Nathaniel’s deep gaze, nor did she ever consider that someone as aloof as him could also have such a side.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I’ve looked into the charity project, and here are a few suggestions. Could your please look into their implementation? The most crucial thing is that I want to ensure the children with physical disabilities have as many opportunities to learn as possible…” Cecilia did all those things primarily as an excuse to get closer to Nathaniel.

Secondly, it was also for children who, like her, were born with disabilities.

She meticulously shared her thoughts and opinions with Nathaniel.

The two of them were very close, the subtle scent from her body teasing Nathaniel’s senses.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but recall that intense, soul–binding sensation from years ago.

He wasn’t a man given to indulgence. Apart from his work, he was not interested in anything else, including women.

However, ever since he had sex with Cecilia, there were times in his dreams when he wished he could merge her into his very being.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I’ve said all I needed to.” Cecilia’s voice brought Nathaniel back to his senses.

He shifted his gaze away. “Just take these matters directly to the manager in charge.”

Only he knew his heart felt like it was being seared by a ball of fire at that moment.

Additionally, a certain part of his body was acting up.

Still, he replied calmly, “All right.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but ponder in her heart. If that was the case, then why waste time listening to me talk endlessly?

“Mr. Rainsworth, the project has already commenced. Will you be willing to accompany me this afternoon to see the children? This way, I can also promote your company,” Cecilia was trying her best to approach him discretely.
