Cecilia looked up at Prisci. "Yes, Prisci?"

Prisci was somewhat uneasy. "Ceci, I forgot to my pic nket. Could we possibly join you guys?"
Cecilia found it hard to refuse, so she nodded in response.
"All right. Sure."
After all, the pic nket she brought was spacious enough, and it wouldn''t be crowded.
Upon hearing that, Prisci was instantly filled with joy. She asked Dorothy to stay put before turning around to fetch some food.
At that time, Nathaniel also came over, looking somewhat puzzled.
Cecilia exined the situation to him.
"I''ll get someone to bring over another pic nket," Nathaniel said in a deep voice.
"Sure, but it''s toote now. Let''s just make do for the time being," said Cecilia.
"All right."
Prisci came over with an armful of food. "I made this myself. If you don''t mind, we could share it."
"Thank you," said Cecilia.
At this point, Prisci turned her attention to Nathaniel. "Mr. Rainsworth, I''ve heard so much about you. My husband often mentions you. He even said that you two have had a conversation at a party before. When he heard I would be meeting you this time, he asked me to ask you for a business card. Would that be all right?"
At this point, Cecilia finally understood Prisci''s intentions.
However, it was understandable that she was trying to forge connections for the sake of her husband''s interests.
Hence, Cecilia didn''t pay it any mind.
Thinking that it was for the sake of the parents of a child, Nathaniel handed over his business card to her.
During the meal, Prisci was continuously praising Nathaniel, subtly expressing her desire for her husband to coborate with him.

Nathaniel merely responded to her with a few nonchnt remarks but did not agree to her request.
After they finished eating, Prisci stopped Cecilia, insisting on cleaning up herself.
Cecilia understood her intentions and stopped her. "Prisci, I can handle it myself."
"No. Let me handle the cleaning. You just enjoy your time with the kids," said Prisci.
Upon seeing the situation, Cecilia decided to cut to the chase, saying, "There''s something I need to rify with you." "Yes?"
"I don''t want our rtionship to put undue pressure on our husbands," Cecilia stated bluntly. "Let''s keep work matters at work." Prisci quickly understood. "I''m sorry, Ceci. I-"
"It''s all right. There''s no need to apologize. I understand you are just considering your family''s best interests."

"Thank you." Prisci felt genuinely ashamed.

partnership with Nathaniel. It wasn''t as simple as her forgetting to bring a pic nket.
Right then, a voice echoed from behind. "What are you two talking about?"
Unbeknownst to them, Miranda had appeared behind them at some point.
Prisci shivered slightly. "Ms. Miranda? Howe you''re here?"
"Why can''t I be here?" Miranda retorted with a fake smile.
"It''s not that..." Prisci picked up the things she had tidied up. "I''m going to the restroom."
Not far from the foot of the mountain, a restroom was constructed.
Seeing her in such a pitiful state, Miranda couldn''t help but feel contempt.
She then looked at Cecilia and said, "Ceci, you might not remember it, but people like Prisci are masters of acting ordingly to the situation. Don''t let her fool you with her act of being pitiful." There was an underlying meaning in Miranda''s words.
Cecilia maintained her usualposure. "Thanks for the reminder, but we''re all adults here, capable of making our own decisions."

"That''s good." Miranda nced around. "Oh? Is Nathaniel already surrounded by people? He''s as charming as ever. If only Adrian had a fraction of his appeal, that would be great." Cecilia followed her gaze, and sure enough, a few mothers had approached Nathaniel. She wasn''t sure what they said to him, but they were all blushing.
