Chapter 2

When Marcus noticed the girl staring at him without any hesitation, he frowned slightly.

Even ignoring his position as the president of the Hartley Group, his good looks attracted many women to approach him, which made him feel annoyed.

Helena noticed this and nudged Cornelia, “What are you daydreaming about?”

Cornelia snapped back to reality, adjusting her mood quickly, “President Hartley, nice to meet you, I’m Cornelia. I’ve been working at the Hartley Group headquarters for less than a year.”

Her self–introduction was full of power, making her stand out more than the previous two people.

“Comelia?” Marcus silently repeated the name, feeling somewhat familiar.

He looked at Cornelia again, and she didn’t stare back this time, making him feel much more comfortable, “Let her stay.”

Helena agreed and then led the three out of the office, “Cornelia, go move your stuff to the special assistant’s office.”

“Alright.” Cornelia returned to her desk, starting to pack her personal belongings.

But the good promotion ultimately fell on Cornelia, the one with the least experience, which made the other two somewhat dissatisfied. However, Yolanda soon realized this wasn’t right. Cornelia’s abilities were well known, and they couldn’t deny her skills just because she was young and inexperienced.

Cornelia replied, “Thank you!”
