Upon hearing Ceceliaâs question, Kara instinct wanted to pull her hand back, but Cecelia held onto it firmly, looking at it closely.
Not only did Karaâs expression freeze, but even Jessica seemed a bit flustered.
âWhatâs going on here? Is it because you got injured while saving me?â Cecelia asked.
After looking at it, Jessica explained, âNo, Cecelia, donât worry. Iâm sure these marks are just made during Karaâs previous training in grappling.â
Karaâs eyes flickered slightly. âYeah, itâs from my training.â
Cecelia had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were icy cold. She glanced at Karaâs palm and then looked info her eyes.
In an analytical tone, she said, âReally? I have also trained in grappling, but I have never left marks on the interdigital webbing. And these marks on you look fresh, not like they were worn out.â
âTo be honest, did you switch to some new concealed weapon? Why arenât you telling me!â
Faced with Ceceliaâs questioning, Kara clearly hesitated. âI didnâtâ¦â
Jessica chimed in, âShe didnât. Cecelia, my sister, really got these marks during her training.â
âWhat about your hands? Why donât you have any? Donât you. usually train together?â
Jessica subconsciously looked at her own palm, momentarily speechless under Cecéliaâs questioning.
Because they were both members of Dark Moon, Cecelia understood the two well. They were always together, whether on missions or during training, essentially duplicating each other.
But now, Ceceliaâs words had caught her off guard.
Why was it that the two sisters, who did everything together, had only Karaâs palm with marks? Now, neither Kara nor Jessica couldnât explain it.
âI wasnât feeling well those days, so I didnât train with my sisterâ¦â
Jessica forced herself to give a lame explanation.
âI understand, but take good care of yourself.â
Cecelia already had an idea in her mind, and coincidentally, a phone call came in at that moment.
âSorry, I have to take this call.
Cecelia stood up and answered the phone by the window. âHello? What? You found another intact hidden surveillance at Esmee Nelsonâs residence? Okay, okay, put it on my desk in the Bluebell Mansion. Iâll go and confirm it tomorrow morning.â
When Cecelia was answering the call, she was facing Jessica and Kara with his back. And she revealed the information about Esmee deliberately. But Jessica and Kara instinctively exchanged a glance.
After the call, Cecelia turned around and looked at the time. She said, âAlright, Jessica, take good care of Kara. I have to go to the Nelson family to see the children later. Kara, take care and Iâll come visit you later.â
After saying these words, Cecelia smiled faintly, stood up, and left the ward.
âOkay, Cecelia. Take care!â Jessica saw her off at the door.
After she left the hospital room, the smile on her face quickly froze. And she had a coldness in her eyes.
The bait had been cast, now it was a waiting game to see if the fish. would bite!
Jessica saw Cecelia off and then turned back to the bedside, feeling a bit nervous. âYou heard everything just now. What should we do?â
âWe absolutely cannot let Cecelia see that surveillance information!â Kara frowned.
âI know.â
Jessica had already made up her mind.
In order to smoothly close in on their target, Cecelia and Remington had some preparations to do.
After taking Samuel and Aurora back to the Nelson family, Remington brought Cecelia to the Nelson Group.
This was Ceceliaâs first time at the Nelson Group. Following Remington into the towering building, they encountered many employees of the company.
Chapter 313 Want to Have Some Alone Time with Her The employees were curious to see their CEO with a beautiful woman.
âWow, Mr. Donovan brought a very beautiful woman with him today. Who is she?â
âIs she Mr. Donovanâs new girlfriend?â
Those employees who didnât know who Cecelia were curious about her, but sharp-eyed gossipers had already recognized her.
âIsnât that Mr. Donovanâs ex-wife, Miss Cecelia?â
âNo way, are they remarried now?â
âOh my goodness, did you see? Just now Mr. Donovan was smiling at his ex-wife. His smile was so gentle and charming!â
âWhy do I feel like Mr. Donovan is in love? They will be back. together, right?â
âNot necessarily! Cecelia is a powerful woman herself. She is successful and rich. A woman like her would definitely not remarry her ex-husband.
âHow can that be? Do you want to bet? I bet ten packs of chips!â
Under the gaze of the employees, Remington confidently walked in with Cecelia, even personally taking her to the elevator and carrying her bag.
He looked like a considerate husband.
Arriving at the 59th floor CEO office, they encountered Samson who had just finished a meeting.
âRemi, Cece, why are you here together?â
âJust came to visit.â Cecelia greeted Samson.
âLetâs go inside the office first.â
Remington invited Cecelia into the office, and Samson also joined in. âSince Cece is here, Iâll personally make tea for you.
âDonât you have other things to do?â
Remington looked at Samson, wanting to say that he wanted to be alone with Cecelia. âAnd wouldnât you feel weird about it?â
âNo more. The meeting is over, and it has finished, so I have time. You can talk about anything you want. Iâll make tea.
Samson insisted on staying in the office, and Remington couldnât have a private conversation with Cecelia.
Finally, Remington handed Samson a card and said, âGo buy a hot dog fór Cece.
âCece wants to eat a hot dog?â
Samson looked at Cecelia with some doubt.
âThatâs right. She wants to eat it. Hurry up! Go to the one on Observation Street in the south. Donât buy from any other place.â
Remington had to find a way to get him out of there. Samson didnât take his card and said, âOkay, since Cece wants to eat, Iâll go buy it now. Wait for me!â
Samson happily left, and as soon as he left, Remington closed the office door.
âNow itâs good. No one will disturb our private time!â
Cecelia found his actions childish. âWho wants to have private time with you? Iâm here to do business!â
âAm I not your serious business?â
Remington somehow triggered a switch, and all the curtains in the office fell, plunging the room into darkness. But the next second, the lights on the office ceiling lit up, turning into a brilliant starry sky, with stars shining and creating a romantic atmosphere.
Cecelia was surprised by the scene in front of her. What was this. man doing, trying to be romantic in broad daylight?
Then, she saw him produce a crystal rose in his hand. The rose was emitting a silver light, as if it was being spelled.
âHe handed her the crystal rose and placed one hand beside her, with deep tenderness in his gaze.
ââCece, do you know what I want to do the most right now?ââââ
