Chapter 447
“1 get it.” Yolanda glanced back as well and then grabbed Cornelia, saying. “Everyone’s dying to know who President Hartley’s wife is, who can make him care so much. Comelia, you’ve been working alongside President Hartley for quite a while, have you met her?”
This was a tough question for Cornelia She glanced at her watch, President Hartley should be here soon, I need to prep his coffee”
“Sure, you go ahead.” Yolanda returned to the secretary office. Melissa, the colleague who sat closest to her, immediately asked, “So? Did you get any scoop on the president’s wife?
Yolanda replied, “President Hartley doesn’t want his wife in the public eye, so we certainly won’t see her. Let’s not poke our noses into this and just focus on our own work.”
Melissa was not ready to drop it, “Doesn’t Cornelia know either?”
Yolanda subtly moved her chair away from Melissa, “Working with President Hartley mean’s keeping secrets. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t spill the beans.”
Melissa hummed in response, raising her voice on purpose, “I’m so jealous of Cornelia, being able to work with President Hartley daily Yolanda, you were supposed to be in that position, don’t you feel regretful?”
Yolanda’s face turned serious, she replied unhappily, “What are you trying to say?”
Melissa was transferred from a branch office after Cornelia was promoted to the president’s assistant. She was young, beautiful, eloquent, and hardworking, winning the affection of her department head and colleagues
However, as time went on. Yolanda saw Melissa’s true colors. She loved prying into other people’s business and exaggerating facts.
All in all, Yolanda didn’t really like Melissa. But they were colleagues, so she kept up appearances.
Melissa said sarcastically, “I just think Cornelia has been looking more and more beautiful, becoming more feminine. I wonder why?”
“Cornelia has always been beautiful.” In Yolanda’s mind, Cornelia was always stunning
When Cornelia first came to the headquarters, she caught everyone’s attention. Many male colleagues fought to help her with her work, but Cornelia turned them down flat. “I heard that Cornelia got married. Maybe her husband has been taking such good care of her, making her even more beautiful. But we’ve never seen her husband. Who knows if he even exists?” Melissa loved to speak in a sharp tone. She raised her voice on purpose, attracting the attention of the surrounding colleagues, “Yolanda, you and Cornelia are the closest in this department. Have you met her husband?”
Yolanda had a deep aversion to those who talked behind people’s backs, “Speak your mind.”
