“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

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

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.”
Noticing her words were drawing attention, Melissa continued, “It’s not out of the question that Cornelia
got that position not because of her capabilities, but because of her looks”
Mentioning Cornelia’s beauty got the male colleagues excited, but they only dared to fantasize and
never joked about Cornelial
When Cornelia first came to the president’s office, two male colleagues talked behind her back, saying
they wanted to sleep with her but would never make her their girlfriend. They thought she was too
pretty and feared she would cheat on them.
When Cornelia found out, she was disgusted but just quietly collected evidence.
