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, "I overheard 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’ve tipped me off."
His explanation was pretty solid and also addressed Cornelia’s unasked question.
Cornelia said, "You're very considerate."
Jeremy responded, "I 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, "I have 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!"
