Chapter 1061
Comelia said, âI still have to prep some meeting materials. If youâre not needing anything else, Iâm gonna bounceâ Yolanda, not wanting Cornelia to leave, quickly reached out to stop her, âHold up, gid
Comelia asked, âWhatâs up?â
Yolanda hesitated, then said cautiously. âIâm sorryâ
Comelia raised an eyebrow, âWhy are you apologizing?â
With people often passing by, Yolanda didnât want their conversation overheard, âCan we talk in your office?â
Comelia said, âFollow me.â
Once in the office, Yolanda finally said, âWhile you were out, I gave it some thought Youâre not that kind of person, playing dirty. You and President Hartley, there might be reasons you donât wanna talk about. As long as you promise to keep your distance from President Hartley, not be the homeâwrecker, Iâll keep this secret. wonât spill the beans to anyone elseâ
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 Hartleyâs 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 Corneliaâs hard work. Yolanda didnât want to hear people saying Cornelia got where she was by selling herself.
Cornelia said, âBelieve it or not, Iâve never been the other woman. I canât really explain the situation with President Hartley right now, but one day, youâll understand
Yolanda said, âI believe you.â
Comelia smiled, âThanks.â
Yolanda said, âComelia, itâs tough for us women to hold our own in the workplace. Youâve come a long way and you canât let anything make people think you got here because of special relationshipsâ
Cornelia had thought about all this before and didnât want her colleagues to know about her relationship with Marcus. Hearing these words from a coworker, she felt touched, âThanks for the headsâupâ
Yolanda let out a sigh of relief and smiled, âTo be honest, I was kinda jealous of you
Cornelia said, âEveryone gets jealous, but few are as honest as you.â
Yolanda said, âThat might be one of my few good qualities.â
âYou have lots of good qualities.â Comelia said, âEver since you took charge, the secretarial office has been much more efficient. President Hartley even complimented you.â
Yolanda was thrilled, âHe really said that?â
Cornelia said, âDefinitely, he sees how capable and dedicated you are.â
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 Hartleyâs recognition was also very important to her
Hearing this, her face lit up with joy, âWith President Hartleyâs approval, Iâll work even harder and lead everyone in the secretarial office to greater heights.â
Cornelia said with a smile, âLetâs do this together!â
Yolanda said, âCornelia, can I hug you?â
Cornelia nodded before Yolanda threw her arms around her, âComella, you have no idea how much I envy you, how much Iâm jealous of your excellence. But Iâm lucky, I didnât let my jealousy cloud my judgement. I hope we can continue to be good colleagues.â
Cornelia said, âSounds good.â
âWhat are you two doing?â Ben, who had just arrived at the office, was taken aback to see the two women hugging tightly.
