Chapter 689

Yolanda scoffed, “Cornelia and I are buddies? You’re giving me way too much credit. She never really opened up to

me.”

Comelia wasn’t the easiest person to befriend, but once someone’s in her circle, she was all in. She was fiercely

loyal.

But with Yolanda, she barely went beyond regular co–worker pleasantries. They exchanged greetings at work,

collaborated on tasks when needed, and all their interactions were strictly work–related.

After work, Cornelia and Yolanda hardly crossed paths. Their WhatsApp chats were all about work. Yolanda had no

clue about Cornelia’s personal life, whether she posted cute selfies on Instagram or whatnot.

Yolanda admired Cornelia’s capabilities and had always wanted to be friends with someone as accomplished as her.

She initially thought she could be pals with Cornelia, since among the horde of secretaries, she was the only one

who could level with

her.

But after all this time, she couldn’t get past the surface with Cornelia, and she knew zilch about her personal life.

The fact that Cornelia was entangled with their boss, willing to be someone’s plaything made her blood boil.

Yolanda was so angry her face was almost contorted, “I thought Cornelia climbed to the PA to the CEO position by

her own merit. I was so naive. I should have suspected something fishy when she was suddenly transferred from

the branch office to head office.”

Ben shared the same disdain for extramarital affairs, but he felt compelled to defend Cornelia when someone put

her down, “Although some things do raise eyebrows, Cornelia’s work capabilities are undeniable. She did earn her

position as PA to the CEO by her own merit. President Hartley definitely didn’t pull any strings for her. He didn’t

even know her before she became his assistant.”

Yolanda was about to retort, but Ben cut her off, “There’s a lot of work to be done in the secretarial office. Get to it,

and stop talking

about this.”

Seeing his words had little effect, Ben added, “Yolanda, you’ve been working in the CEO’s office for years. You

should know what can be said and what can’t. Don’t let a moment’s impulse ruin your future.”

Yolanda glared at Ben, “So, being President Hartley’s PA, sticking by his side all these years. It’s not just about your

capabilities, but also your knack for playing your cards right?”

Ben wasn’t one to shy away from gossip. His status at the Hartley Group was solid as a rock, “Yes, playing your

cards right is a skill.”

Her lips twitched at his response, and she left the room, visibly disgruntled.

After Yolanda left, Ben glanced at the CEO’s office door. The thought of Marcus and Cornelia in the office, was too

much to bear.

It was downright scandalous!

Yesterday, his boss Marcus was asking him for advice on a date with his wife, and today, he was pulling this stunt

with his personal assistant in the office.

What a sleazebag!

Marcus was not the man he once respected.

That man had been tarnished. He was no longer pure!

When it was time to clock out. After everyone in the CEO’s office had left, Cornelia peeked out of the office like a

thief, checking left and right. Only when she was sure no one was around did she step out of the office.

Marcus was speechless. She could’ve walked out with her head held high, but she chose to sneak around.
