Chapter 1264
As Cornelia stepped out of the apartment, she instinctively looked over at Building 2
The surroundings still felt familiar, the apartment had not changed, the flowers that were in full bloom when she last visited were still vibrant. But the people were gone. In this world, the fastestâchanging thing was a personâs heart
But that was all in the past now No more thinking about those times, no more indulging in old memories.
Just as Cornelia was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure. Her heart twinged at the sight. She tried to turn away to pretend she hadnât seen, but Tahlia called out to her.
âNelly.â
Tahlia rushed over, âWait, donât go I have something I need to say to youâ
Comelia stopped in her tracks, quietly watching Tahlia
Tahuaâs eyes flickere. She couldnât look directly. Iâm sorry! Hurting you was not my intentionâ
âDonât apologize âThe last thing Cornelia wanted to hear was âIâm sorryâ
Tahlia said, âNelly, I really love you Can you not ignore me, please?â
Loved her?
Cornelia wanted to laugh. She fought to keep the bitterness and anger inside her from showing, and said to Tahlia calmly. âIs the house that President Hartley bought for you.
here?â
Tahlia pointed to Building 3. âYeah, itâs on the 22nd floor of building three Nelly, do you want to come in?â
âIs he treating you well?â Cornelia asked.
Tahlia instinctively shook her head, then nodded furiously. âHe is â
Cornelia paused before saying. âPeople change Just as he was able to leave me for you, he might also leave you for another woman someday. Be prepared for thatâ
Tahlia wanted to say something, but Cornelia cut her off. âItâs not the weekend, why arenât you at work?â
Tahlia replied. âPresident Hartley is worried Iâm tired, so he let me take a few days off.â
There were things Tahlia couldnât say, didnât dare to say After Cornelia and Marcus divorced, Tahlia lost her usefulness, and Marcus let her go. Even though Tahlia was a quick learner, she wasnât a professional secretary and lacked knowledge in many areas, which indeed made her unfit for the job.
But Marcus didnât directly fire Tahlia, instead, he had Ben write her a letter of recommendation, and she went to work at a newly established tech company in Riverton.
âYou rest up. I ll be goingâ Cornelia said
Afraid that Cornelia would just leave, Tahlia quickly grabbed Corneliaâs hand, âNellyâ
Corneliaâs voice suddenly turned cold, âLet go!â
Tahlia refused to let go, âI wonât! Do you have something else to do? If youâre not busy, letâs find a place to sit down? I havenât seen you in a while, I miss youâ
Cornelia looked at Tahliaâs hand, the hand that might have been held by Marcus not too long ago. The more she looked, the more irritated she felt. She yanked her hand back abruptly, saying âTahlia, I need to tell you, Iâm a narrowâminded personâ
