Chapter 1062
Yolanda quickly let go of Comelia, walking and talking at the same time, “I gotta bounce, work’s calling”
Ben watched her leave, then turned to Comelia, “You two?”
Comelia replied, “What about us two?”
Ben said, “You two were hugging so lightly.”
Comelia retorted, “What’s the big deal if we want a hug?”
Ben said, “Hugging is fine, but I think Yolanda has a thing for you.”
Comelia said, “When I first moved to headquarters, she was the one who stuck with me. She helped me get to
know the company and the work, even when some old employees tried to bully me, she was there to back me up.

Ben said, “I see”
Comelia asked, “What?”
Ben said. “She got pissed when she saw you being all lovey–dovey with President Hartley in the office. I first thought
she had a crush on President Hartley, but I quickly realized that wasn’t the case. Then it hit me, she cares about
you, not President Hartley”
Cornelia, cutting him off halfway through, asked, “When was I being lovey–dovey with President Hartley?”
Ben said, “Are you saying you weren’t? Let me tell you, people in the office have already caught wind of your
relationship with President Hartley. Your secret’s gonna be out in the open soon”
Cornelia asked, “Who else knows, besides you?”
Ben said, “If my memory serves me right, there were a few times when President Hartley was screen mirroring his
phone during a meeting, and your text messages to him were displayed”
Cornelia fell silent. She was truly embarrassed
Ben continued, “President Hartley is always very careful. If he doesn’t want people to know something, they won’t.
The only possible reason he’d make such a mistake repeatedly in the meeting room is…”
Comelia asked, “What reason?”
Ben said “President Hartley did it on purpose!”
Comelia fell silent again. She couldn’t rule out that possibility. Because Marcus wanted to make their relationship
public, but she didn’t. Although he agreed not to for now, it didn’t mean he couldn’t do things that could potentially
reveal their relationship.

Ben thought he was quite the Sherlock, “Don’t you think my reasoning is spot on?”
Cornelia didn’t answer, but she knew she had to talk to Marcus about this tonight.
Ben said, “Mrs. Hartley, shouldn’t you give me a little reward for this?”
“Mrs Hartley? Who’s Mrs Hartley? Cornelia is Mrs. Hartley?” Yolanda returned to Comelia’s office, having
remembered something she wanted to tell Cornelia. She arrived at the door just in time to hear them discussing
Mrs. Hartley.
Ben looked at Cornelia, “You handle this.”
Yolanda also looked at Cornelia, her eyes filled with eager anticipation for the truth
Cornelia thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, “Yes”
Yolanda’s eyes widened in surprise, then she fell silent. Finally, as if all her questions had been answered, she said,
“So the Mrs. Hartley we’ve been wondering about has been right under our noses the whole time.”
