Chapter 1117
After the meeting ended, outside the door, Cecilia heard the voices of a few directors who had not yet left the
meeting room.
“Our CEO is really neglecting the company more and more. He’s been having his assistant manage the company’s
operations for so long
now.”
“I know right? I really don’t know what the CEO’s thinking. He’s neglecting the entire company just for a single
woman.”
Blake was very busy these days and had no time to slack off. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoccasionally followed Cecilia to travel around and learned a lot
working under her.
After the lesson learned from last time, Blake would bring hangover
medicine with her whenever she went to business events, so as not to
end up drunk again.
Blake rarely saw Kevin in the company these days. Even Susan, who
spent most of her time working in the company, had not seen Kevin in
the company for a long time.
Blake followed behind Cecilia, and the two walked to the elevator.
Cecilia said, “I’ll be leaving the company for a while later on, no need
to follow me.”
Blake responded, “Okay, Ms. Samford.”
Cecilia said, “These few days must’ve been exhausting for you.”
Blake responded, “Not at all, I’m fine. I’ve learned a lot by following
you. Rest assured; I’ll do my best working with you.”
Cecilia was dressed in a purple suit. She, with her hands crossed, turned her head and glanced at Blake with
appraising eyes as she smirked. She stepped into the elevator when it arrived.
Blake said, “Goodbye, Ms. Samford.”
After the elevator doors closed, Blake sighed in relief and relaxed.
After Cecilia packed up in the office, she took her car keys and changed into casual clothes before leaving her

There were hardly any people in the underground parking lot, as it was still working hours.
Just as Cecilia dialed a number on her phone, a man suddenly came out from a corner and covered her mouth with
a cloth. Cecilia
struggled for a moment; having learned self-defense, she was about to counterattack. However, the assailant was
well-prepared. Cecilia, who had breathed through the drugged cloth several times, lost consciousness very quickly.
The effects of the drug were short-lived, only lasting a few minutes. Cecilia woke up with a hood over her hand. She
was lying on the ground with her hands and feet tied.
A man standing near her grabbed her hair to make her stand up. Soon, Cecilia could feel a sharp pain in her
stomach.
Her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, so her shout could not be heard.
