Cornelia said, "I'm not quick to trust people, but once I choose to, I go all in. I fully trust every word you say now, I hope you can prove you're worth it."
Marcus felt a bit awkward after reading this. When he found out she was his legal wife, he didn't immediately tell her who he was. It was like he'd planted a ticking time bomb for their relationship.
Now that she's starting to like this "Jeremy" persona, if he tells her now that Jeremy and Marcus are same person, she might not be able to take it.
After thinking for a bit, he replied, "As long as you trust me, I genuinely want to live a happy life with you."
Cornelia replied, "Got it. I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed, goodnight!"
Jeremy replied, "good night."
Sure enough, the next morning Cornelia received the loan notice from the bank.
The sales department also informed them that they could come in on a workday to handle the paperwork.
With things being a bit slow at the company recently, Cornelia decided to ask Marcus for a half day off, "President Hartley, I'd like to take a half day this afternoon."
Marcus asked, "What's up?"
Cornelia answered, "The loan for my house has been approved, I want to get a jump on the paperwork."
Marcus glanced at his watch, "I was planning to do the same, want to go together?"
Cornelia didn't object, "Sure."
Marcus didn't call his driver, so by default, Cornelia became his chauffeur.
