Chapter 1111 Sowing Discord
In the afternoon, there was a meeting involving everyone.
When Cecilia saw Cassina at first, she merely thought the latter looked vaguely familiar, unaware that she was Bailey’s daughter.
“Ms. Smith, this is Cassie, my younger sister,” Cassandra said. “She’ll be around when we discuss work matters. If I’m not in the office, feel free to speak directly with Cassie.”
She was well aware of the status Cassina held in Queene’s heart. If anything were to happen to Cassina because of Cecilia, Queenie would undoubtedly not let Cecilia off the hook.
“Sure,” Cecilia agreed.
Once the meeting had concluded, Cecilia had someone investigate the relationship between Cassina and the Jamieson family. It was then she discovered that she was the long–lost biological daughter Queenie had recently found.
Cecilia couldn’t help but feel astonished.
One of her subordinates knocked on the door and said. “Boss, I just had a meeting with Cassina. Turns out, she doesn’t know anything.”
Cecilia looked up and asked, “What about Ms. Evans?”
“Ms. Evans mentioned that her pregnancy has reached a crucial stage, so she needs to focus on taking care of herself instead of work. She also said that if there are any issues, we should consult Cassina.”
The subordinate was somewhat speechless. Such a large project was, astonishingly, entrusted to someone who didn’t understand anything at all.
“Then you should proceed according to our company’s regulations first.”
“Alright.”
Meanwhile, in Cassina’s office, she was overwhelmed by the endless stream of people coming over to ask her questions.
“Why are there so many problems?”
She had initially thought that taking up the position of vice president would be quite leisurely.
While Cassina was wearing a frown, Miranda, in her high heels, arrived at her office. She knocked on the door. “Ms. Cassina.”
Cassina gave her a clueless look. “And you are?”
“My name is Miranda,” she said with a smile. “I’m both a friend and a relative to Ms. Evans. She’s gone back home due to her pregnancy and was worried you might struggle to handle things here. So, she asked me to come and assist you.”
Cassina’s face lit up with joy “Perfect timing! Could you lend me a hand? I can’t make heads or tails of all these things.”
She was genuinely naive, or perhaps she hadn’t been hardened by the harsh realities of life. She assumed that because Miranda knew Cassandra, they must be good people.
Miranda stepped into the office. “Alright, don’t panic, Il guide you.”
Throughout the day, Miranda was meticulously guiding Cassina, while casually mentioning that Cecilia was intentionally giving her a hard time.
“You really don’t need to deal with these tasks. They are supposed to be done by Cecilia’s subordinates. She’s way out of line, taking advantage of you just because you’re new here. Sigh.”
On the surface, Miranda appeared to be considering Cassina’s feelings, but her actions insinuated that Cecilia was making life tough for her on purpose.
Cassina didn’t understand the project at hand. After hearing Miranda’s explanation, she really thought that Cecilia was intentionally causing trouble for her.
The crux of the matter was that she had a skeleton in her closet. She was fearful that Cecilia would discover her identity switch, which only served to heighten her unease.
“All these tasks should have been done by Cecilia! Never mind, Cassie, could you place all these documents over at my desk? I’ll take care of them and bring them back once I’m done.”
“Thank you.” Gratitude brimmed in Cassina’s eyes.
Miranda added, “However, you should still discuss this matter with Mdm. Queenie. You can’t just be bullied for no reason. After all, you’re the prominent young lady of the Jamieson family, a major client of Orion Corporation. Cecilia should have given you due respect!”
Throughout the day, as Cassandra and Miranda jointly disparaged Cecilia, Cassina also began to resent Cecilia.
“Alright, I’ll let my mom know.”
She had already stopped believing the words of her own mother.
When she returned to the Jamieson residence in the evening, Queenie gave her a look of concern. “Cassie, you went to work at Orion Corporation with Cassandra today. How did it go?”
Cassandra was also present, her eyes encouraging Cassina to speak the truth.
After a moment of silence, Cassina finally spoke up. “Mom, I feel like Ms. Smith, who’s in charge of our families‘ collaboration, doesn’t seem to be very responsible.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
