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

Chapter 1954 Trying To Win Support

Of course, Cecilia understood the principle. But getting people to accept and trust her wasn't something that could happen overnight.

Seeing the stress on her face, Nathaniel's heart ached. "Take your time, there's no rush,” Nathaniel said seriously. "Just remember, I've got your back." He paused, then added, "We can handle this together."

Cecilia shook her head. "No, I can't lean on you for everything. I need to learn to stand on my own too."

She took a long breath. "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

The current situation already had her stretched thin. If her mother were to pass away, things would only get worse. She had to prepare. She couldn't expect Nathaniel to always be there cleaning up the mess.

"Instead of giving a man a fish, it's better to teach him how to fish. Think you could show me how to deal with those old geezers?" Cecilia's bright eyes locked onto Nathaniel's.

Under her gaze, Nathaniel felt his ears heat up slightly. "Of course," he said. "But only if you agree to be my apprentice."

"Deal," Cecilia replied without hesitation.

"So... are you going to call me 'professor' now?" Nathaniel asked, his eyes holding hers.

Cecilia opened her mouth and said, "Professor Rainsworth."

That caught Nathaniel off guard, and his smile widened, even more irresistible than before.

"From now on, whenever you've got free time, come with me to Imminence Corporation. You can handle work here in the mornings, then in the afternoons, be my assistant," he said with sincerity.

"All right."
