Cornelia's acting chops weren't too shabby.
Marcus hadn't made his position clear yet. On the other side of the video call, Granny Luisa waved her hand anxiously, "No need, the main reason I video called was to see you. Not too interested in strangers."
This was clearly her grandson, not a stranger.
Cornelia was amused by Granny Luisa. She played dumb and asked, "Granny, my boss is the current CEO of the Hartley Group, Marcus. He and Jeremy are good friends. You should know him, right?"
"Uh, ha-ha!" Granny Luisa laughed awkwardly, "Of course, the CEO of the Hartley Group. How could I not know him."
Marcus said softly, "Granny, it's me, Marcus."
Cornelia turned the camera to Marcus.
Granny Luisa pretended to take a careful look at the man in the camera, "So it's Marcus, what have you been up to lately? You never visit your granny."
Marcus remained calm, "Next time Cornelia visits you, can I go with her?"
Hearing this proposition, Granny Luisa nodded her head enthusiastically, "Sure, you guys can come together to Southern Peak whenever you're free. Me and Nelly's granny are looking forward to your visit."
Cornelia didn’t say anything. They were plotting against her.
Granny Luisa then said to Cornelia, "Nelly, Marcus is a boy I've watched grow up. His appearance, character, work ability, and the way he conducts himself are all excellent. He's perfect to be a husband."
Cornelia said, "Granny, I still think Jeremy is the best."
