Chapter 1061
Comelia said, “I still have to prep some meeting materials. If you’re not needing anything else, I’m gonna bounce”
Yolanda, not wanting Cornelia to leave, quickly reached out to stop her, “Hold up, gid
Comelia asked, “What’s up?”
Yolanda hesitated, then said cautiously. “I’m sorry”
Comelia raised an eyebrow, “Why are you apologizing?”
With people often passing by, Yolanda didn’t want their conversation overheard, “Can we talk in your office?”
Comelia said, “Follow me.”
Once in the office, Yolanda finally said, “While you were out, I gave it some thought You’re not that kind of person,
playing dirty. You and President Hartley, there might be reasons you don’t wanna talk about. As long as you promise
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto keep your distance from President Hartley, not be the home–wrecker, I’ll keep this secret. won’t spill the beans to
anyone else”
Yolanda never held bad intentions towards Comelia. Her previous doubts about Commia were only because she saw
her as a very talented, hardworking girl.
She knew better than anyone that Cornelia became President Hartley’s assistant because of her abilities, not
because she was sleeping her way to the top. If rumors about Cornelia and President Hartley were to get out,
people would make a mockery of Cornelia’s hard work. Yolanda didn’t want to hear people saying Cornelia got
where she was by selling herself.
Cornelia said, “Believe it or not, I’ve never been the other woman. I can’t really explain the situation with President
Hartley right now, but one day, you’ll understand
Yolanda said, “I believe you.”
Comelia smiled, “Thanks.”
Yolanda said, “Comelia, it’s tough for us women to hold our own in the workplace. You’ve come a long way and you
can’t let anything make people think you got here because of special relationships”
Cornelia had thought about all this before and didn’t want her colleagues to know about her relationship with
Marcus. Hearing these words from a coworker, she felt touched, “Thanks for the heads–up”
Yolanda let out a sigh of relief and smiled, “To be honest, I was kinda jealous of you
Cornelia said, “Everyone gets jealous, but few are as honest as you.”
Yolanda said, “That might be one of my few good qualities.”
“You have lots of good qualities.” Comelia said, “Ever since you took charge, the secretarial office has been much
more efficient. President Hartley even complimented you.”
Yolanda was thrilled, “He really said that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia said, “Definitely, he sees how capable and dedicated you are.”
Yolanda had been working at the Hartley Group for years, always diligent and responsible, never slacking off. She
was indeed an excellent employee. Of course, aside from the hefty paycheck, President Hartley’s recognition was
also very important to her
Hearing this, her face lit up with joy, “With President Hartley’s approval, I’ll work even harder and lead everyone in
the secretarial office to greater heights.”
Cornelia said with a smile, “Let’s do this together!”
Yolanda said, “Cornelia, can I hug you?”
Cornelia nodded before Yolanda threw her arms around her, “Comella, you have no idea how much I envy you, how
much I’m jealous of your excellence. But I’m lucky, I didn’t let my jealousy cloud my judgement. I hope we can
continue to be good colleagues.”
Cornelia said, “Sounds good.”
“What are you two doing?” Ben, who had just arrived at the office, was taken aback to see the two women hugging
tightly.
