GoodReadChapter 124 Her Real Motive
After escorting Cecilia to the entrance of Nathaniel’s office, Mason left.
The door was not closed, and Cecilia gently pushed it open.
Nathaniel was seated in his chair, engrossed in reading a document.
Cecilia couldn't deny that there was something incredibly attractive about a handsman when he was deeply
engrossed in his work.
She thought back and realized that she must have been deceived by his handsface initially.
Nathaniel knew she had arrived, yet he didn’t lift his head. “Chere.”
Cecilia walked over, asking, “Is there something you need?”
“From now on, you won't have to work downstairs.”
Nathaniel put down his documents, looking at her. “This will be

“No particular reason. This is the company’s arrangement.”
your office.”

To say it was the company’s arrangement, one might as well say that it was Nathaniel’s.
Nevertheless, Cecilia knew she was in no place to refuse.
“Alright.”
This is for the better anyway, as it offersmore opportunities to get closer to him.
Cecilia analyzed that the possibility of getting pregnant from their encounter the night before was extremely low.
“I'll bring up my computer,” said Cecilia.
Before she could leave, her personal belongings, including her computer, had already been
delivered to the office. The movers had even gone to the extent of moving her desk in as well.
Nathaniel rose and made his way to her side, observing her office supplies.
“I'm curious. What have you been so busy with at the office these past few days?”
Back when Cecilia used to be a housewife, she had never ventured out to work and all she did was take care of
his needs.
Cecilia turned to look at him. “Do you want to know? | can show you.”
Otherwise, there was no reason for him to endure the day before.
As expected, Nathaniel showed interest. “Alright.”
Under his intense gaze, Cecilia settled into her seat and opened her laptop.
She showed him the work she did when she was bored.
When Nathaniel cast a glance, he was somewhat taken aback, as there were quite a few collaborative project
files on Cecilia's computer.
When did she learn to write these?
Looking up. Cecilia could clearly see the distinct features of Nathaniel’s profile. She took a deep breath before
slowly speaking, “You must have been quite uncomfortable last night, weren't you?”
Nathaniel’s body stiffened slightly, as he lowered his gaze to meet hers, a lump forming in his throat..
Cecilia adjusted her position slightly, incidentally, bringing herself closer to his lips.
“Actually, | was quite uncomfortable too.”
Nathaniel’s eyes were filled with curiosity as he furrowed his brows.
It wasn’t like her to say something like that.
He remembered how, after they had gotten married, even the slightest touch of her hand against his would
cause her face to flush.

At that moment, even though Cecilia put on a seasoned facade, Nathaniel saw right through her.
His hand rested on her shoulder, causing her body to shudder by reflex.
Such a reaction isn’t fooling anyone.
Nathaniel’s defiant eyes flickered slightly. “If you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital. I'm not a
doctor; | can’t cure illnesses.”
Cecilia was taken aback.
Is he genuinely clueless, or is just pretending? Can he be doing this on purpose?
Since her words failed to get through, Cecilia leaned in once again, her red lips making direct contact with the
corner of Nathaniel’s mouth.
“What I'm referring to is this kind of discomfort...”
The scent of the woman was intoxicating.
He could sense one thing-Cecilia didn’t really want him.
What is her real motive?
Cecilia was also clumsily responding.
Within the confines of the office, the air felt somewhat stifling. &
