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

Chapter 1971 Kneel And Drink

Eric had only just gotten back from Drocver. He'd been wanting to reach out to

Cecilia, but couldn't come up with a good enough reason.

Eventually, he found his chance. With a few actors in tow, he headed over to

Cecilia's company.

"Ms. Ceci, I thought you'd forgotten all about me," Eric said, wearing a pitiful look.

Cecilia gave a small sigh, looking a bit exasperated. "Haven't I been busy lately?"

As soon as she said that, she turned to glance at the actors standing nearby. "Are

they up to the task?"

"Relax," Eric said. "All they have to do is act like some high-society woman

making things difficult for someone. That's easy." He paused. "Anyway, I'll be

there with them. If they mess up, I can step in and guide them."

He made it sound like he was mentoring them, but the truth was, Eric just wanted

a chance to get closer to Cecilia.

"You're coming with us too?" Cecilia asked.

"What, you don't think I can handle it?" Eric said, lowering his head dramatically.

"Sigh... It's been so long, our friendship's gotten cold."

Cecilia shook her head quickly. "Of course, not. I was just worried you might be

too busy."
