But how did Jeremy know her shoe size? And how did he know about her heel injury?
Chapter 208
Marcus isnât the chatty type. He surely wouldnât spill the beans about such a small thing to Jeremy, would he?
She replied swiftly, âJeremy. thanks a lot! The shoes are a perfect fit and super comfy But how on earth did you know my shoe size?â
Jeremy answered, Toverheard Granny saying you often wear heels to work and that they usually give you blisters at the back of your feet. So, I thought of getting you a pair. As for the size, Granny mustâvetipped me off*
His explanation was pretty solid and also addressed Corneliaâs unasked question
Cornelia said, âYouâre very considerateâ
Jeremy responded. 1 also heard from Granny that you bought a house. I have a friend whoâs a whiz at interior design. Do you want to give him a shot?â
She was on the lookout for a designer, and Jeremy just happened to recommend one. Talk about perfect timing!
Cornelia responded, âOkay But, whether heâs your friend or not, if his designs arenât up to scratch, I wonât accept themâ
Jeremy shot back a sure thing.â then sent over Trent Brownâs contact details.
Cornelia said, âYouâve suddenly turned all caring and itâs kinda freaking me out Just so you know, Iâm not some naive girl you can easily fool.â
Jeremy replied. Thave no intention of fooling you I genuinely want to build a home with you.â
Though not exactly sweet nothings, his words touched Cornelia.
Cornelia was suddenly flustered and didnât know how to respond
She pretended not to see his message and sent Trent a friend request.
He accepted almost immediately and sent over a greeting. âMs. Stewart, hello, this is Trent Brown.â
Cornelia responded, âHello, Mr. Brown!â
Trent said, âIf you have time, you can send your floor plan to me and tell me your preferred style. I can prepare a couple of drafts for youâ
Cornelia asked. âWhatâs the price?â
Trent replied, âMr. Artis will cover the costs. All you need to do is state your preferences and requirements.â
Cornelia responded, âIll pay for the bill myself. If you wonât take my money, I find someone else.â
It took a while for Trent to reply, After Iâve checked out your house in person and prepared the drafts, Iâll give you a quote.â
Cornelia replied, âOkayâ
After wrapping up the chat with Trent Brown, Cornelia stared at Jeremyâs last message for a while before responding. âLetâs have a good chat when we meet.â
Jeremy responded, âSure thingâ
Cornelia asked, âWhere are you now? When can we meet?â
He was actually just next door in the CEOâs office. All she had to do was turn right out of her door to see him.
But Marcus couldnât respond that way He pondered for a moment with his phone in hand, âIâm not in Riverton right now. Wait for me to come back.â
Cornelia teased, âHmmm, if you donât show up soon, I might fall for another man. My coâworker Ben is great. Heâs handsome, earns a fat paycheck, and doesnât have a girlfriend.â
Jeremy replied, âDonât you dare!â
Cornelia taunted. If you donât come back to see me soon, I dare!â
Jeremy asked, âWhy have you picked Ben over Marcus?â
Cornelia replied, âFirstly, Marcus is already married. Secondly, I donât think Iâm in his league.â
Marcus, in the office next door, felt pretty bummed out upon reading this message
