Cornelia was bursting with curiosity, but she managed to keep it under wraps. About half an hour later, 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 clasped 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.d2
Over a hundred secretaries, lined up in two rows, led by Tahlia and Yolanda, chorused, "Welcome home, Mr. Artis and Cornelia."
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 make it 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.
