Derek's brows furrowed in concern as he leaned forward, his gaze intent on Cecilia, "The Nexus Tower? We are almost nearing completion of this project. You don't have to worry about it."
Cecilia shook her head softly, her expression earnest, "I know, honey. But I want to have an idea of what we are accomplishing. You said you wanted me to stand by you, right? Then I want to see the tower—the symbol of the project I've invested so much effort into."
Derek's face fell into contemplation, his eye narrowing as he considered her request.
Cecilia's eyes held a hint of doubt as she continued, "Is there any reason you're hesitating to show me? Do you really not want me to be a part of this?"
