Chapter 1486
Cornelia was bursting with curiosity, but she managed to keep it under wraps. About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination. Looking at the skyscraper in front of her, Cornelia was a bit taken aback. “Isn’t this the old Hartley Group building?”
Ben, as quick with words as ever, responded, “It’s not the Hartley Group anymore. It’s now the Artis Group.”
Cornelia was left speechless in surprise.
Jeremy held her hand and said, “Let’s go in and take a look.” He led her along the familiar path she used to take when she worked there, and together they entered the CEO’s private elevator.
In the past, she was always a step behind him. This time, she was standing side by side with him. His hand held hers tightly. Cornelia lowered her gaze to their clasped hands, feeling a sense of security and happiness.
Soon, they arrived at the floor where they used to work. Exiting the elevator, they found themselves in front of the secretary’s office.
Over a hundred secretaries, lined up in two rows, led by Tahlia and Yolanda, chorused, “Welcome home, Mr. Artis and Cornelia.”e2
Jeremy was always a low-profile person, so Cornelia figured this awkward scene must not have been his doing. However, the next moment, she saw him smiling at her. “Are you satisfied with my arrangement?”
Turned out, it was indeed his doing. She guessed that he might have felt that he hadn’t treated her well enough in the past when she served as his assistant for so long. So, he wanted to makejt up to her.
Cornelia wasn’t a fan of all the fuss, but she didn’t want to rain on his parade. “I love it!”
Hearing her approval, Jeremy’s smile broadened. “May I now formally introduce you to everyone?” He always respected her and sought her opinion.
Cornelia nodded. “Yes.”
With her consent, Jeremy turned to the crowd. “Let me formally introduce her to you all.”
He looked at Cornelia. “The beautiful lady standing beside me is Cornelia. Some of you might know her as my former assistant. But she’s not just my assistant. She’s also my wife. We got married three years ago, even before she transferred to the headquarters. We are legally married, protected by law.”
He particularly emphasized the last sentence. He wanted the entire company to know that Cornelia was his wife and that they were legally married and protected by law.
Cornelia looked up at him. There was an unmistakable pride and joy in his eyes as he introduced her. Jeremy looked at her, “Would you like to say a few words?”
Cornelia let go of his hand, took a couple of steps forward, and faced the crowd. There were various expressions in their eyes – some looked envious, some looked happy, and some a bit jealous….
Yolanda, the team leader, had a radiant smile on her face, her eyes glistening with tears. She seemed genuinely happy for Cornelia. And then there was Tahlia, another team leader.
