    Chapter 1486


    Cornelia was bursting with curiosity, but she managed to keep it under wraps. About half an hourter,


    they arrived at their destination. Looking at the skyscraper in front of her, Cornelia was a bit taken


    aback. “Isn’t this the old Hartley Group building?”


    Ben, as quick with words as ever, responded, “It’s not the Hartley Group anymore. It’s now the Artis


    Group.”


    Cornelia was left speechless in surprise.


    Jeremy held her hand and said, “Let’s go in and take a look.” He led her along the familiar path she


    used to take when she worked there, and together they entered the CEO’s private elevator.


    In the past, she was always a step behind him. This time, she was standing side by side with him. His


    hand held hers tightly. Cornelia lowered her gaze to their sped hands, feeling a sense of security


    and happiness.


    Soon, they arrived at the floor where they used to work. Exiting the elevator, they found themselves in


    front of the secretary’s office.


    Over a hundred secretaries, lined up in two rows, led by Tahlia and Ynda, chorused, “Wee


    home, Mr. Artis and Cornelia.”e2


    Jeremy was always a low-profile person, so Cornelia figured this awkward scene must not have been


    his doing. However, the next moment, she saw him smiling at her. “Are you satisfied with my


    arrangement?”


    Turned out, it was indeed his doing. She guessed that he might have felt that he hadn’t treated her well


    enough in the past when she served as his assistant for so long. So, he wanted to makejt up to her.


    Cornelia wasn’t a fan of all the fuss, but she didn’t want to rain on his parade. “I love it!”

    Hearing her approval, Jeremy’s smile broadened. “May I now formally introduce you to everyone?” He


    always respected her and sought her opinion.


    Cornelia nodded. “Yes.”


    With her consent, Jeremy turned to the crowd. “Let me formally introduce her to you all.”


    He looked at Cornelia. “The beautifuldy standing beside me is Cornelia. Some of you might know her


    as my former assistant. But she’s not just my assistant. She’s also my wife. We got married three years


    ago, even before she transferred to the headquarters. We are legally married, protected byw.”


    He particrly emphasized thest sentence. He wanted the entirepany to know that Cornelia


    was his wife and that they were legally married and protected byw.


    Cornelia looked up at him. There was an unmistakable pride and joy in his eyes as he introduced her.


    Jeremy looked at her, “Would you like to say a few words?”


    Cornelia let go of his hand, took a couple of steps forward, and faced the crowd. There were various


    expressions in their eyes – some looked envious, some looked happy, and some a bit jealous….


    Ynda, the team leader, had a radiant smile on her face, her eyes glistening with tears. She seemed


    genuinely happy for Cornelia. And then there was Tahlia, another team leader.


    Ever since she walked into the room, Tahlia had been-eyeing her intently, as if she had a lot to say.


    Cornelia walked over and hugged Ynda. Ynda hugged her back tightly. “I’m so d to see you


    back!”


    Cornelia smiled. “Thank you for your support all this time.”


    Ynda replied, “It’s nothing, just doing my job.”


    After a brief chat with Ynda, Cornelia turned to walk towards Tahlia. As soon as she approached,


    Tahlia rushed towards her, flinging her arms around her in a tight hug. “Cornelia…”
