When Kathleen took the initiative to greet her, Claire felt somewhat flattered.
She said humbly, "Miss Jane, you're being too polite. I'm just an ordinary person, so how is it possible for you to have heard of me before?"
Kathleen laughed. "I always hear Sherry talking about you. She speaks highly of you."
As Kathleen spoke, she led Claire into the reception area with a smile. "Madam Wilson, let's sit down and talk."
"Okay." Claire nodded and followed Kathleen, before taking a seat in the reception area.
As soon as Claire sat down, Kathleen casually instructed Sherry, "Sherry, prepare us two cups of coffee."
After that, she turned to Claire and asked," Madam Wilson, what kind of coffee would you like? I only have a capsule coffee machine here, so please forgive me if I'm being a little too neglectful."
Claire hurriedly waved her hand and said," Miss Jane, you don't have to go through such trouble. I don’t need to drink anything
However, Kathleen nodded at Claire with a small smile. She then said to Sherry," Sherry, prepare us two lattes. Pour Madam Wilson a cup of warm water while you're at it."
Claire still wanted to decline politely, but Kathleen went straight to the point without waiting for her to speak. "Madam Wilson, Sherry told me that you wanted to discuss my design requirements with me. I happen to have been thinking about making time t o meet you. Let’s get right to it, shall we?"
Claire could only nod and say, "Okay, Miss Jane. Please wait a moment."
She took out her notepad and gel pen before asking Kathleen, "Miss Jane, do you have any personal preferences for the villa's overall design style?"
