Chapter 1642 Visiting Ceci Corporation Daily
During the period when Cecilia went missing, Nathaniel rejected all of Queenie's collaboration proposals for the sole reason to stand up for Cecilia.
When Queenie was first approached by Cecilia, who claimed to be her daughter, she didn't take it seriously. Now that she wanted to make amends, Nathaniel naturally refused to give her any opportunity to do so.
Even so, Queenie did everything in her power to eliminate all kinds of potential business risks for Ceci Corporation.
Since Nathaniel was not around that day, Charlotte had no choice but to call Cecilia over.
In the reception room, Queenie was seated nervously.
When she saw that it was Cecilia who came, her eyes brimmed with joy.
"Ceci."
"Mdm. Queenie."
Contrary to Queenie's excitement, no hint of emotion showed in Cecilia's eyes. They remained as calm as
ever.
Queenie felt a hint of disappointment, but she didn't let it show. She pulled out a chair and sat down. "Ceci, I'd like to invest in Ceci Corporation," said Queenie.
At that moment, Cecilia was still unfamiliar with the various operations of the company. Upon hearing that, she sat down, planning to note down everything and ask Nathaniel about it that night.
Queenie raised a hand, stopping her from doing so. "Ceci, you don't need to note it down."
"What do you mean by that?" Cecilia asked, perplexed.noveldrama
Cutting straight to the chase, Queenie replied, "I still have a significant amount of liquid assets at my disposal, and I want to give them all to you."
Immediately, Cecilia pulled her hand out from under hers. "No, it's okay. Thank you."
"Ceci, please don't be in a hurry to decline, okay?" A trace of panic flitted across Queenie's eyes. She was afraid that she might unknowingly upset Cecilia again. "I truly don't know what to do. I misspoke last time.
I know you don't care about the money I have in hand."
I should have known long ago. If she cared about money, she would never have given all of the Smith family's assets to her brother, Magnus.
Still, Cecilia insisted, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
She rose to her feet to leave.
Queenie hurriedly moved to intercept her.
Perhaps she got up too abruptly, but her head spun. Losing her footing, she nearly toppled onto the ground.
Cecilia reacted swiftly, reaching out and steadying her. "Are you okay?"
Feeling greatly gratified, Queenie nodded and replied with a smile, "I'm fine. Thank you."
Cecilia slowly dropped her hand on the woman.
Queenie looked at her hopefully. "Ceci, could you please keep me company for a while?"
"I still need to work," Cecilia declined.
Rejected once again, Queenie felt indescribably sad. Nonetheless, she forced a smile. "It's fine. Go on and work. I just wait at the side. promise I won't disturb you.

Since she had said as much, it was practically impossible for Cecilia to decline further. And so, Queenie sat quietly in Cecilia's office, watching as she hustled and bustled about. Upon witnessing that scene, Charlotte and Lucille couldn't help but gossip about it.
"Is the boss of such a large company like Jamieson Group that free?" Lucille asked.
Charlotte shook her head. "Who knows? But I think she genuinely wants to do right by Boss."
"At the end of the day, she's her biological mother. I hope Ceci regains her memory soon and makes a decision," Lucille murmured.
"Once she recovers her memory, she might start hating her."
Charlotte let out a sigh.
After all, she was well aware of all that had transpired when Cecilia
went to Queenie for a reconciliation

upon learning that she was her daughter.
Queenie was also aware of the rumors circulating out there, but she didn't pay them any mind and continued visiting Ceci Corporation daily in the following days.
She even went out of her way to cook and bring the food over for Cecilia and the others.
"Mdm. Queenie, your culinary skills are truly exceptional," Charlotte, a foodie, couldn't help praising as she savored the delicious food.
Queenie smiled brightly. "In that case, have more."
