Chapter 208: Chapter 208

But how did Jeremy know her shoe size? And how did he know about her heel injury?

Chapter 208

Marcus isn’t the chatty type. He surely wouldn’t spill the beans about such a small thing to Jeremy, would he?

She replied swiftly, “Jeremy. thanks a lot! The shoes are a perfect fit and super comfy But how on earth did you know my shoe size?”

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 must’vetipped me off*

His explanation was pretty solid and also addressed Cornelia’s unasked question

Cornelia said, “You’re very considerate”

Jeremy responded. 1 also heard from Granny that you bought a house. I have a friend who’s a whiz at interior design. Do you want to give him a shot?”

She was on the lookout for a designer, and Jeremy just happened to recommend one. Talk about perfect timing!

Cornelia responded, “Okay But, whether he’s your friend or not, if his designs aren’t up to scratch, I won’t accept them”

Jeremy shot back a sure thing.” then sent over Trent Brown’s contact details.

Cornelia said, “You’ve suddenly turned all caring and it’s kinda freaking me out Just so you know, I’m not some naive girl you can easily fool.”

Jeremy replied. Thave no intention of fooling you I genuinely want to build a home with you.”

Though not exactly sweet nothings, his words touched Cornelia.

Cornelia was suddenly flustered and didn’t 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. “Ms. Stewart, hello, this is Trent Brown.”

Cornelia responded, “Hello, Mr. Brown!”

Trent said, “If 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 you”

Cornelia asked. “What’s the price?”

Trent replied, “Mr. Artis will cover the costs. All you need to do is state your preferences and requirements.”

Cornelia responded, “Ill pay for the bill myself. If you won’t take my money, I find someone else.”

It took a while for Trent to reply, After I’ve checked out your house in person and prepared the drafts, I’ll give you a quote.”

Cornelia replied, “Okay”

After wrapping up the chat with Trent Brown, Cornelia stared at Jeremy’s last message for a while before responding. “Let’s have a good chat when we meet.”

Jeremy responded, “Sure thing”

Cornelia asked, “Where are you now? When can we meet?”

He was actually just next door in the CEO’s office. All she had to do was turn right out of her door to see him.

But Marcus couldn’t respond that way He pondered for a moment with his phone in hand, “I’m not in Riverton right now. Wait for me to come back.”

Cornelia teased, “Hmmm, if you don’t show up soon, I might fall for another man. My co–worker Ben is great. He’s handsome, earns a fat paycheck, and doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

Jeremy replied, “Don’t you dare!”

Cornelia taunted. If you don’t come back to see me soon, I dare!”

Jeremy asked, “Why have you picked Ben over Marcus?”

Cornelia replied, “Firstly, Marcus is already married. Secondly, I don’t think I’m in his league.”

Marcus, in the office next door, felt pretty bummed out upon reading this message
