Chapter 512
Abigail knew Cornelia was asking out of concern, she might not even bother if it was someone else
Since they were both there today. Abigail spilled the beans about her boyfriend, “He’s a Rosenberg guy, lives in Ashbourne Valley He’s an only child, and his parents run a small grocery store that’s doing pretty well. They have two houses in Ashbourne Valley, one for his folks, and the other’s his wedding house. He’s just like us, went to Riverton University and stayed on to work in Riverton after graduation He’s working at SwiftTech now”
Swift Tech is a budding tech company in Riverton that’s been growing rapidly over the past few years. Apparently, the perks are great, and if you stick around for over ten years, you even get a share of the profits. But, even if the company’s great, the quality of an employee can’t be reflected through work alone.
Cornelia asked again, “What does he do there?”
Abigail had to think, ‘He mentioned it to me, but I can’t recall. Something about the marketing department, or some other department. I’m not sure about the specifics” Comelia lightly tapped her forehead, “You’re about to get hitched, and you don’t even know these things. Are you sure you’re okay with handing yourself over to him?” Abigail pouted, “Look who’s talking! You and Jeremy went straight to get your marriage license after your first meeting. Did you even think about these things?”
Comelia replied, “It’s not the same with Jeremy and me.”
Abigail asked, “What’s different?”
Comelia said, “Jeremy’s the grandson of my grandma’s friend. I may not know Jeremy well, but my grandma knows him through his grandma.”
Abigail said, “You make your mariage sound like it’s arranged.”
Cornelia was speechless.
“Enough chit–chat, we still have to go to the studio,” Zack interrupted them, then said, “Those gifts were bought by Abigail and me. Give them to your grandma and send her our regards. We’ll visit her when we have time.”
“Thanks!” Cornelia said, “Once I’m back from Southern Peak and have someone to renovate the new house, I’ll bring grandma back to Riverton in two or three months. We H move into the new house. As long as I’m not traveling, I’ll be able to see grandma every day.”
Zack said, “Cool, I’ve ordered some moving boxes online. Once they arrive, you two can start packing. We’ll move some stuff over the weekend.”
Cornelia said, “Okay.”
After they left for work, Cornelia went back to her room, took off her work clothes, and let her hair down.
She mostly wore business suits for work, so her wardrobe was filled with them, making it hard to find a suitable casual outfit.
Cornelia realized that she hadn’t been shopping for clothes since starting to work closely with Marcus last summer, due to the increased workload. The prettiest thing in her closet was a white dress she bought a couple of days before agreeing to marry Jeremy, at her grandma’s suggestion….
Zack was right. She had been a lot busier since joining the Hartley Group. Apart from a few hours of sleep, she spent almost all her time working.
Sure, she was tired, but Cornelia didn’t complain. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want a high salary, you have to put in more effort than others.
Like Marcus, he’s the world’s richest man, but he also worked long hours. She rarely saw him idle, taking a few days off to rest.
