Chapter 1339 Not In Vain
Jocelyn let out a sigh. "Mr. Nicholas, you will find your own happiness in the future, so don't overthink it."
Nicholas turned to look at her. "I know."
Jocelyn then went to fetch medicine for him.
His health had begun to deteriorate again, necessitating the commencement of treatment.
After taking his medicine, Nicholas returned to his private break room to rest.
Jocelyn busied herself, tidying up his room and the outer office space for him. She also ordered his meal.
Once she had finished her tasks, and after Nicholas had eaten, she left the office.
Once she stepped outside, it was already past eight in the evening, and she was feeling hungry.
However, she was already used to having her dinner after eight o'clock. Yet she felt a mild stomachache for some unknown reason.
Jocelyn didn't pay it any mind. She hopped into her car and drove back to her rented apartment.
Ever since Cassina joined the Jamieson family business, she began nurturing her own team.
Since everyone believed that she was Queenie's biological daughter, they quickly switched allegiances to her.
Another reason was that Cassandra was overly arrogant and domineering. The employees of Jamieson Group simply didn't like her.
At that moment, Cassina sat in the spacious office, taking in everything around her.
"Mom, I promise you, your life won't be lost in vain!"
She picked up her phone and dialed Cecilia's number.
Meanwhile, when Cecilia saw Cassina's call, she was somewhat puzzled. "What can I do for you?"
"Ms. Smith, I'm grateful for the assistance you've provided me in the past. I'm currently working at Jamieson Group. I heard that you've established your own company and are in need of partnerships. I would like to propose a collaboration between us. What do you think?" Cassina felt she owed Cecilia an apology and this was her way of making amends.
Coincidentally, Cecilia was racking her brains on how to approach the Jamieson family and how to exact revenge on Queenie.
"Of course that would be wonderful. Whenever you have time, come over and we can discuss it in detail."
"Alright, I'll come over today."
After packing up, Cassina went to see Cecilia.
Queenie had also learned from her secretary that Cassina was seeking to collaborate with Cecilia. She didn't intervene, saying, "Cecilia did help Bailey after all. Cassina is just trying to return the favor. There's no harm in that.
"But we kidnapped Cecilia's son back then,
scarred and even left her face et
Won't she seek revenge on
Ms. Cassina?" The secretaryo expressed her concern.
Queenie shook her head. "I don't think so. If she wanted revenge, why would she help Bailey?"
"That's good then."
Nevertheless, Queenie was burdened by a nagging question in her mind, which was why Cassina harbored such animosity toward her at the hospital that day. Even though she hadn't raised Cassina, she was still the latter's biological mother.
"Keep a closer eye on Cassie and Cassandra, I don't want any more incidents happening between them."
"Understood."
Queenie's concerns were indeed warranted.
Behind the scenes, Cassina had already hired someone to eliminate Cassandra in order to get rid of the last person in the world who knew her secret.
In the afternoon, Cassina and Cecilia signed a contract.
"Ms. Smith, I really don't know how to express my gratitude." Cassina asked, "Can we be friends from now on?"
Cecilia gave a smile, politely responding, "Of course."
When Cassina left, she cast Cecilia a few glances.
"Ms. Smith, I truly thank you."
She stood there for a long while before she finally decided to leave.
Charlotte walked over, looking somewhat puzzled. "Boss," she asked, "why do I get the feeling she's acting as if we're about to part ways forever?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's just a hunch," Charlotte said.
Cecilia handed her the contract. "Go through it and see if there's any issue."
Charlotte took the contract and from the very first glance, she was taken aback. "Boss, this isn't the contract we were just working on!"
