Chapter 1063

“Awesome! Just awesome.” Yolanda exclaimed in delight.

Her Instincts were spot on. Cornelia wasn’t that kind of shameless woman.

Ben said, “Comelia chose to keep her identity under wraps, make sure you don’t spill it to others.”

Yolanda wanted to ask why Cornelia would hide her identity, but before she could ask she understood.

She was well aware of Comelia’s capabilities, but when she saw Cornelia getting chummy with President Hartley, her first suspicion was that Cornelia had used some underhanded means to secure her position. If others knew about Cornelia’s real relationship with Marcus, they’d undoubtedly think that Cornelia’s promotion was due to shady reasons.

Once everyone started thinking that, all of Comelia’s previous efforts would be brushed under the rug. She wouldn’t be the competent Ms. Stewart at the company. she’d just be President Hartley’s wife.

Despite the high–flying title, being President Hartley’s wife just meant being an accessory to him.

“Don’t sweat it, Ben, I won’t let the cat out of the bag. Whether to go public with her identity should be Cornelia’s call.” Yolanda assured.

“Thank you” Comelia expressed her gratitude.

“I didn’t do anything worth thanking, you silly goose.” Yolanda felt a lot lighter, “Cornella, Ben, we’re having a department get–together this Friday, wanna tag along?” Cornelia wasn’t a big fan of mingling with coworkers or attending such events, but she agreed to Yolanda’s invitation, “Sure, why not.”

Ben chimed in. “I’m free on Friday evening, wouldn’t mind hitting up the party. But I reckon if Cornelia goes, President Hartley might show up too. If he’s there, folks might feel awkward, and the party wouldn’t be as chill. Cornelia, for the sake of everyone’s fun, you can’t let President Hartley crash the party.”

“Ben, that’s not fair. Yolanda countered, “Regardless of what others think, I’d love for President Hartley to swing by our department’s party”

The employees at the secretary’s office were mostly women, who wouldn’t want to take a peek at Marcus‘ handsome mug, regardless of whatever else they thought

of him?

“I don’t want President Hartley to show up, it’d feel like work with him around. You can’t speak for everyone, and neither can I Ben argued back

“In that case, Yolanda, why don’t you go ask around? If everyone’s cool with President Hartley coming. I’ll try to bring him along. If they’re not, I won’t Cornelia proposed.

Roger that, Mrs. Hartley!” Yolanda dashed off, stopping at the door to flash a grin at Cornelia, “Mrs. Hartley, I’ll go ask around right away, should have an answer for you in no time.”

Cornelia was speechless

“Yolanda’s a bit odd “Ben commented.

“What’s so odd about her?” Cornelia asked.

“Isn’t she supposed to be green with envy? Why does she seem so genuinely happy Ben asked.

“Why should she be jealous of me? Can’t she just be happy for me?” Comelia said.

“Don’t girls often get caught up in jealousy and complicated stuff?” Ben asked.

“Who says girls have to have complicated relationships? Whether it’s boys or girls, there are good friends and bad enemies. I believe, friendships between girls can be very pure and beautiful. Don’t be sexist!” Cornelia said.

Realizing his mistake, Ben quickly corrected himself, “I thought she’d be jealous and angry because she’d been pretty upset with you, and I thought learning about your relationship with President Hartley would worsen it.”

Cornelia responded, “Yolanda’s a sweet girl, she always sees the best in people, genuinely appreciates those better than her and tries to learn from them. She’s always been nice to me. Her discontent was because she thought I had an illicit relationship with President Hartley. In reality, she apologized to me for the misunderstanding even before she knew the truth about me and President Hartley.”

“I see now, there’s none of the drama 1 imagined between you two. She’s genuinely happy for you, and you stick up for her.” Ben admitted.
