Chapter 447
â1 get it.â Yolanda glanced back as well and then grabbed Cornelia, saying. âEveryoneâs dying to know who President Hartleyâs wife is, who can make him care so much. Comelia, youâve been working alongside President Hartley for quite a while, have you met her?â
This was a tough question for Cornelia She glanced at her watch, President Hartley should be here soon, I need to prep his coffeeâ
âSure, you go ahead.â Yolanda returned to the secretary office. Melissa, the colleague who sat closest to her, immediately asked, âSo? Did you get any scoop on the presidentâs wife?
Yolanda replied, âPresident Hartley doesnât want his wife in the public eye, so we certainly wonât see her. Letâs not poke our noses into this and just focus on our own work.â
Melissa was not ready to drop it, âDoesnât Cornelia know either?â
Yolanda subtly moved her chair away from Melissa, âWorking with President Hartley meanâs keeping secrets. Even if she knew, she wouldnât spill the beans.â
Melissa hummed in response, raising her voice on purpose, âIâm so jealous of Cornelia, being able to work with President Hartley daily Yolanda, you were supposed to be in that position, donât you feel regretful?â
Yolandaâs face turned serious, she replied unhappily, âWhat are you trying to say?â
Melissa was transferred from a branch office after Cornelia was promoted to the presidentâs assistant. She was young, beautiful, eloquent, and hardworking, winning the affection of her department head and colleagues
However, as time went on. Yolanda saw Melissaâs true colors. She loved prying into other peopleâs business and exaggerating facts.
All in all, Yolanda didnât really like Melissa. But they were colleagues, so she kept up appearances.
Melissa said sarcastically, âI just think Cornelia has been looking more and more beautiful, becoming more feminine. I wonder why?â
âCornelia has always been beautiful.â In Yolandaâs mind, Cornelia was always stunning
When Cornelia first came to the headquarters, she caught everyoneâs attention. Many male colleagues fought to help her with her work, but Cornelia turned them down flat. âI heard that Cornelia got married. Maybe her husband has been taking such good care of her, making her even more beautiful. But weâve never seen her husband. Who knows if he even exists?â Melissa loved to speak in a sharp tone. She raised her voice on purpose, attracting the attention of the surrounding colleagues, âYolanda, you and Cornelia are the closest in this department. Have you met her husband?â
Yolanda had a deep aversion to those who talked behind peopleâs backs, âSpeak your mind.â
Noticing her words were drawing attention, Melissa continued, âItâs not out of the question that Cornelia got that position not because of her capabilities, but because of her looksâ
Mentioning Corneliaâs beauty got the male colleagues excited, but they only dared to fantasize and never joked about Cornelial
When Cornelia first came to the presidentâs office, two male colleagues talked behind her back, saying they wanted to sleep with her but would never make her their girlfriend. They thought she was too pretty and feared she would cheat on them.
When Cornelia found out, she was disgusted but just quietly collected evidence.
