Roman Padilla replied politely, "Granny Luisa, I've just come back from overseas studies and now work at our up-and-coming tech company, Moongazer Tech, in Riverton. We recently partnered with the Hartley Group, and I even met President Hartley yesterday."
Indeed, a company capable of collaborating with the Hartley Group must be exceptional. This young person could work at such an outstanding company without relying on their family, which brought great joy and comfort to Granny Luisa."The child has grown up and made something of himself," she said.
Sabrina chimed in, "He's doing alright, but he's got a long way to go compared to Marc."
Hearing her grandson being praised, Granny Luisa didn't hold back, "My Marc is exceptional. Very few people can hold a candle to him."
"Sure, sure..." Sabrina supported Granny Luisa, and they slowly made their way to the main building. "Granny Luisa, are you planning to settle down in Riverton this time, or just stay a few days before heading back to Southern Peak?"
Granny Luisa replied, "Southern Peak is cooler in the summer than Riverton, so I planned to stay there for a more comfortable living, but I have some important matters to attend to recently, so I need to stay in Riverton for a while and won't go back to Southern Peak for now."
Sabrina said, "It’s hard for me to visit you in Southern Peak. Now that you're staying in Riverton, I can come to chat with you more often when I have time. Wonderful!"
"But I might not have time for chit-chats in the near future, I have some important matters to attend to." Granny Luisa happily said, "Marc has been married for two years now, they've been very busy and haven't had time to consider about having kids. I want them to live here so we can keep an eye on them, hoping to see their child sooner."
Sabrina added, "Yeah, Marc has been married for so long, and they should have a child by now. They didn't hold a wedding reception, so we haven't met his wife. We don't even know what she looks like. I guess if we bumped into her on the street, we probably wouldn't even recognize her."
Roman, walking ahead, carefully opened the door for the two elders and took over the conversation, "President Hartley is quite handsome, I bet his wife must be a stunner too."
"Nelly is not only stunning but also smart, considerate, and very competent." Granny Luisa was very happy when talking about Cornelia, she wanted to show off how exceptional Cornelia was to others.
She slowly took out her phone, found a photo of Cornelia she took last night, "Here, take a look, this is Nelly, gorgeous isn't she?"
In the photo, Cornelia was dressed in homewear. Simple outfit, but her beauty was more than just "pretty".
Sabrina craned her neck to look at the phone; even before seeing the girl in the photo clearly, she started keep praising, "She's stunning! Not only is her appearance stunning, but she also has a great temperament. Only such a beautiful girl is worthy of Marc."
"Marc is indeed lucky to have married Nelly." Granny Luisa was naturally happy to hear the compliments about Cornelia, she then showed the photo to Roman, "Kid, take a look at Nelly too, remember to show her respect if you run into her one day."
Roman recognized Cornelia in the photo at a glance, but he still leaned in a bit closer, "Granny Luisa, is this girl in the photo President Hartley's assistant Cornelia?"
Granny Luisa nodded without any doubt, "That's right. But don't get it twisted, Cornelia climbed up to the position of the president's assistant all by herself. Marc didn't pull any strings for her."
