Were they really in that much of a hurry? Couldn’t they even wait to take an extra step?
The office door wasn’t even closed. Weren’t they afraid of being seen by others?
While Ben was internally criticizing the shameless couple, he also had to considerately close the door
for them, making it easier for them to do whatever they were up to in the office.
Thank God the CEO’s office was soundproof, otherwise keeping it a secret would be tough. Especially
with so many people working in the secretariat who could potentially pass by the CEO’s office.
Normally, for a man like Marcus of high status, getting a woman was as easy as pie, and no one would
dare to backbite. Many of these big shots like Marcus had lovers outside, and their wives at home knew
and didn’t mind.
Maybe they did mind, but felt they couldn’t control it, so they stoped trying.
Even if Marcus was married, being with his personal assistant wouldn’t affect him. And those who knew
would only compliment him as a casanova, a lucky guy.
But this affair was a whole different story for Cornelia. Once others found out about their private
relationship beyond work and it spread, Cornelia would become the immoral person in everyone’s
mouth. She would be accused of betrayal, of seducing a married man.
If this label stuck to Cornelia, and the CEO’s wife started causing trouble, Marcus might stop protecting
Cornelia. Without anyone to protect her, Cornelia would be like an abandoned person. Then, Cornelia
would have no choice but to leave the Hartley Group..
Even though Ben disapproved of Cornelia’s immoral actions, he still wanted to protect her. He didn’t
want to see such a good work partner leave in the worst possible way.
He thought, when he got the chance, he must have a good talk with her. He needed to urge her to turn
back before making a bigger mistake, to cut off the ambiguous relationship with Marcus asap, and to
pretend nothing ever happened. There was still time.
Just as Ben was deep in thought, a gentle female voice sounded behind him, “Ben, what are you doing
standing here? Playing doorman?”
Ben instinctively turned back to check the CEO’s office door. Seeing it was properly closed, he then
looked at Yolanda at ease, “Just thinking. What brings you here? Looking for Cornelia?”
Yolanda tilted her head slightly, looking at the big door behind him, and said in a low voice, “When did
Cornelia and President Hartley start being together?”
They should have closed the door first. Now they had been seen.
Feeling cold sweat on his forehead, Ben had to put on a serious face, “Don’t talk nonsense! President
Hartley and Cornelia are discussing work. You shouldn’t slander them. And he is not someone you can
slander.”
Yolanda chuckled lightly, “Whether I’m slandering them, you should know very well.”
Ben knew very well, and that was why he explained so much. Normally, he only needed to say one
sentence to drive Yolanda away.
He pondered for a moment, then continued, “Cornelia doesn’t have many close colleagues in the
company, and only you and her are the closest. It doesn’t matter if others accuse her, but you better
not. I think, before you accuse her, you should at least find an opportunity to talk to her alone, to
understand the ins and outs of the matter.”
