Chapter 1217
Marcus was still rocking his uniform look, a white shirt paired with black trousers and his silver specS.
Every move he made, Cornelia was familiar with. But the way Marcus looked at Cornelia was filled with indifference and unfamiliarity
Comelia wanted to call out to Marcus, but her throat felt choked up, no sound came out. She wanted to walk towards him, but her legs felt like they were weighed down by something heavy, she couldnât take a single step forward
All she could do was watch as Marcus and Tahlia walked into the CEOâs private elevator together. The moment the elevator doors closed, it was as if she and Marcus were completely isolated in two worlds.
Cornelia thought she heard the sound of something shattering.
What was it that shattered? She wasnât sure
All she knew was that a piercing pain hit her again, making her feel as if her body was hollowed out in an instant, she could barely stand.
Luckily, the security guard quickly reached out to steady her, âCornelia, youâve worked with Marcus for so long, you should know him better than us. Heâs not someone we can understand you know you canât have him, why are you ruining your future for him?â
âThanksâ Cornelia gratefully said. Johnâs help prevented her from falling. âDo you think Iâm a fool, like a joke?â
John honestly nodded
Camelia forced herself to stand up straight, lifted her head proudly and said with a smile. âSo thatâs what it feels like.â
âWhat feeling?â The guard was puzzled.
âItâs hard to explainâ Cornelia laughed and then looked up at the impressive building, âJohn, where did that cactus I bought go? It used to be by the elevator.â
âIt got cleared away a few days ago I heard the new assistant didnât like it, so Marcus had it removed. But thatâs just a rumor, I donât know if itâs true.â John answered.
âWhat else have you heard?â Cornelia asked.
When Cornelia was Marcusâ assistant, she was good to the employees below, so many of them respected her. Secunty guard John was one of those who genuinely respected her.
âWe shouldnât gossip about Marcus, but this has been the talk of the company recently Everyone in the company knows about it, and Marcus hasnât come out to clarify, so I think itâs true John said.
âWhat is it? Comelia asked
âYou donât know? The rumor is that the new assistant Tahlia is Marcusâ secret wife!â John said
Hearing this, Cornelia felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife.
John continued, âMarcus has always been clear about separating his work from his personal life. No matter the relationship, he wouldnât let anyone get close to him based on connections. To work with Marcus, everyone has to go through rounds of tests, only the best can work with him. This new special assistant, from the moment she joined the company, she was different. Rumor has it, she was hired under President Hartleyâs personal instruction, and was assigned to the CEOâs office. In reality, Tanlia is the heiress of the Reese family, she grew up with President Hartley and they are lovers. The Reese family ran into trouble, so President Hartley helped her change her identity and arranged for her to work beside him. He really put a lot of effort into this.â
âI seeâ Cornelia nodded.
âWhat?â John asked.
Cornelia waved at him, âGoodbye!â
Maybe this was the final goodbye
Comelia walked out of the lobby and called Abigail, âAbby, where are you now?â
