“How coquettish. He’s clearly no good. It’s best if you keep your distance from him in the future,” Nathaniel advised solemnly.
Cecilia gave a stiff nod.
For the first time, she realized that the word “coquettish could also be applied to a man.
She looked toward the stage again. For reasons unknown, she found herself inexplicably thinking of certain women.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she averted her gaze, choosing not to look at Eric anymore, lest her mind would start to wander.
After finishing his photoshoot, Eric rushed over to Cecilia.
He acted as if Nathaniel didn’t exist. “Ms. Cecille, what do you think?“.
Nathaniel’s words still lingered in Cecilia’s mind. She nodded stiffly and said, “It’s good.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Nathaniel spoke up. “What’s so good abo advertisement.”
Reshoot this
Eric’s expression changed instantly. “Ceci likes it, but you don’t. Maybe the problem lies with your taste.”
Nathaniel was not one to back down. “My wife’s health hasn’t fully recovered and she hasn’t taken over the company. That means I’m still in charge here. If I say it’s not good enough, we reshoot. Otherwise, you’re free to leave!”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Cecilia. “Let’s go, Darling.”
When he spoke to Cecilia, he was exceptionally gentle.
A cold glint flashed across Eric’s eyes.
His hand slowly clenched into a fist.
The director came over and asked, “Do we really need to reshoot this?”
“Yes!”
Although Eric didn’t particularly like Nathaniel, he had to admit that he had a knack for management and never let personal matters interfere with his work.
Cecilia was led outside by Nathaniel. She struggled to free her hand from his grip but to no avail.
“Mr. Rainsworth, could you please let go?”
Instead of loosening his grip, Nathaniel tightened it even more. “What’s wrong?”
Cecilia’s hand felt like it was on fire, and her heartbeat quickened.
Isn’t he asking the obvious?

Chapter 1496 How Have You Been
We’re practically strangers. There’s no way we can be this intimate.

“I think my top priority at the moment is to regain my memory. So, could you please treat me as a regular friend?”
Upon seeing her face flush crimson, her expression somewhat aloof, Nathaniel couldn’t help but loosen his grip.
He simply couldn’t bear to see her unhappy.
“All right, I’ll wait for you to regain your memory.”
He had waited for so long, after all. A little bit more time wouldn’t make a difference.
“Thank you.”
After expressing her gratitude, Cecilia made up an excuse to go find Charlotte and the others.
Nathaniel had no choice but to head to the CEO’s office.
Charlotte guided her around. “Boss, you had this entire office area set up. Do you rem
Cecilia looked around and shook her head.
“It’s okay. Let’s go check out some other places.”
“All right, thanks for the trouble.”
r?”
“It’s no trouble. We’ve been friends for years. We go through thick and thin together.” Charlotte patted her chest.
Cecilia couldn’t help but smile.
Even though she spent the entire day at the office and got to know some of the work, she still couldn’t recall anything from her past.
On her way back, she gazed out the window, feeling somewhat stifled.
At that moment, a call came through. She picked it up and saw that it was from Nicholas.
After a considerable amount of hesitation, Cecilia eventually picked up the phone.
“Is there something you need?”
There was a prolonged silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Cecilia heard Nicholas‘ voice. “How have you been? Is there anything you’re finding hard to adjust to?”
He acted as if nothing had happened, casually inquiring about Cecilia’s recent circumstances.
