Cornelia said, “It’s getting late, you should head to bed, you’ve got work early tomorrow”
Tahlia responded, “Nelly, you might be mistaken, tomorrow’s Saturday”
Cornelia said, “Tomorrow’s Saturday? Then why don’t you swing by the Capital. I want to formally introduce you to Grandpa Augustine.”
Tahlia countered, “I don’t think I’m ready to go there yet.”
Cornelia asked, “Why not?”
Tahlia explained, “Grandpa Augustine likes you because you were raised by Granny Rebecca. You carry her essence. I’ve never met Granny Rebecca, I don’t think I have anything in common with her, and I don’t think Grandpa Augustine would accept me.”
Cornelia comforted her, “Silly girl, we’re family, how could Grandpa Augustine not accept you?”
Tahlia insisted, “I’ll listen to you on everything else, but can you respect my decision on this one?”
Tahlia was able to accept Cornelia as her sister because she knew and loved Cornelia. But Tahlia didn’t know Grandpa Augustine, and he didn’t know her. They were strangers, and no one could predict if they’d hit it off. Tahlia didn’t want to cause any trouble for Cornelia, nor did she want Cornelia to be stuck between a rock and a hard place because of her.
Of course, Cornelia would never force Tahlia to do anything she didn’t want to.
She said, “Of course, your wishes are always the most important.”
Tahlia said happily, “Thank you, I love you!”
While at the Reese family, everything was arranged for Tahlia by the family, but her own wishes were always put last. More specifically, nobody ever gave a damn about what she wanted. She was just a pawn the Reese family used to try to win over Marcus, but Marcus never gave a rat’s ass about the Reese family; it was all wishful thinking on their part.
Cornelia felt Tahlia’s happiness, which made her happy too.
“Get some sleep.” Cornelia said. novelbin
Tahlia said, “Okay, goodnight!”
Cornelia said, “Goodnight!”
After hanging up the phone, Cornelia continued working on her comic. Her readers had been quite pushy recently, so she wanted to update as much. content as possible to keep everyone happy.
Once Cornelia finished her drawing, she quickly received new comments.
One caught her attention, “Wow, Nelly’s been quite the busy bee, are you short on cash?”
Cornelia replied, “Not really, I have a steady job. Drawing comics is just my side gig.”
This response quickly stirred up everyone’s curiosity, a bunch of people asked, “Nelly, what’s your main gig?”
Someone said, “Nelly’s comic copyrights sell well, I heard The Story of Nesiona made quite a bit of money, plus her e-reading income is pretty substantial, she’s a little rich girl. But that’s just Nelly’s side job, can you imagine how much she makes from her main job?”
Someone else wondered, “Is Nelly perhaps a trust fund baby? The type that’d be forced to take over the family business if they can’t make it on their
own?”
“You’re overthinking it, I just like the stability and security that comes with a steady job and income.” Cornelia replied.
Ever since Cornelia became an executive assistant to the CEO, her annual salary reached several hundred thousand dollars, which was indeed less than what she made from her comic copyrights. But the income from comic copyrights and subscriptions was very unpredictable, whereas her position at the Hartley Group was stable. Not only were there many regular perks, there were also various end-of- year bonuses
So even though the comics were making money, Cornelia didn’t dare think about quitting her job.
