When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1457 Where Is She

"Hello, are you Cecilia's boyfriend?" Lysanna pretended to inquire casually.

Hearing an unfamiliar woman's voice, Nicholas became suspicious. "Why do you have Ceci's phone? Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Cecilia's colleague. She left her phone at the office. I happened to be working overtime and heard it ringing, so I picked it up in case it was urgent," Lysanna explained, then added, "Is something wrong? Did Cecilia ask you to call?" "Ceci hasn't come home. Do you know where she is?" Nicholas frowned.

Cecilia wasn't the type to stay out all night. If something came up, she would have told him.

Nicholas couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that something had happened to her.

"She didn't go home? Could she be out with Mr. Whitaker? After work, I saw her leaving with him. He's a client of our company," Lysanna said deliberately, her tone ambiguous, trying to cast doubt on Cecilia's integrity.

"Didn't she tell you? I thought she would have mentioned it, especially since it was just the two of them, a man and a woman, alone together this late at night. Do you think..."

She trailed off before sighing theatrically. "Well, maybe not. Cecilia doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Nicholas wasn't a fool. He could read between the lines of Lysanna's insinuation.

However, he trusted Cecilia.
