When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1996

While the two men continued waiting, they couldn't help but whisper to one another.

“Who would have thought that Cecilia would have such dumb luck?” Jonah said, “She turns out to be the only daughter of the Jamieson family. If we had known, we should have curried favor with her.”

James was also repeatedly nodding in agreement. “Exactly. Let's hope it's not too late.”

He paused, a glimmer of hope reappearing in his eyes.

“You know... It would be great if my daughter could secure a job at Jamieson Group,” he said.

Typically, to secure a job at Jamieson Group, one had to clear the hurdle of educational qualifications, which meant having a degree from a prestigious university.

James had a daughter who only attended a vocational college, and that, too, was paid for.

Jonah also nodded in agreement. “Indeed. If we could get our children to work here, it would be a golden opportunity. It's all that old woman's fault. Why did she have to offend Cecilia? How foolish.”

The two of them spoke back and forth, their conversation increasingly filled with hopeful anticipation of the future.

Yuliana had just returned from finalizing a business deal and was about to share the good news with Cecilia when the two men suddenly noticed her.

“She's Cecilia's cousin, right?” Jonah stood up.

The reason he knew Yuliana was that Cassandra had brought her along once when she had visited the Escobar family previously.

James also noticed her. “I think so.”

The two of them exchanged glances, each understanding the thoughts harbored in the other's mind.

“Let's go and talk to her.”

“All right.”

Just as Yuliana was about to step into the elevator, she felt a pair of gazes fixed on her. Turning around, she saw two middle-aged men approaching her with warm smiles.

Yuliana was incredulous. “You're my cousin's uncle?”

“Exactly,” said Jonah. “Even though she isn't our sister's biological child, she grew up with our sister. We've watched her grow since she was little. We treat her like one of us.”

Yuliana nodded thoughtfully.

“Why don't you guys go up?”

“We're just about to head up,” Jonah quickly picked up the items they had brought and dragged James. “Ms. Jamieson, could you please show us the way?”

Considering they were Cecilia's uncles, Yuliana felt it would be inappropriate to refuse them. She nodded in agreement, saying, “All right. Follow me upstairs.”

The receptionist had initially wanted to stop them, but it was too late. All she could do was watch helplessly as they stepped onto the elevator.

The entire time, Yuliana was rather pleased. Not only did she successfully negotiate a business deal this time, but she also managed to help Cecilia's uncles.
