Jeremy replied, "Remember, he's not doing this for free; you're paying him; you're the client. Don't worry about whether you guys can still be buddies afterward."
Cornelia thought he made sense: "I got it."
"Cornelia," Jeremy said.
Here we go again, just as always. Cornelia pouted, "Stop just saying my name without adding anything else."
Marcus had a lot to say to her but didn't know how to start, so in the end, all he replied was, "Nah, it's cool."
Cornelia was pissed. What does he mean by "it's cool"? Can't he just bring up his work and let her know him better?
He knew her job like the back of her hand, but she was still clueless about his, just like when they first met, not even knowing exactly what he did for a living. "Jeremy, are you busy with work?"
"Been pretty chill recently," said Jeremy.
If he were that busy, he wouldn't have had the time to let her comfortably handle the renovation.
"Have you figured out when you're going back to Riverton?" Cornelia asked. "My boss is going to give me a few days off."
In her view, she was being pretty obvious; Jeremy should get her drift.
If he could make it back to Riverton these days, she'd have time to meet up with him.
If he couldn't, she could fly to his city to meet him and have a good chat.
Chatting on WhatsApp all the time as a married couple just didn't seem right.
But to her surprise, Jeremy replied, "Well, you should take a good rest these days."
Sadly, she forgot what Jeremy looked like, so she could only try to make him look as good as possible, even better than Marcus, though, in reality, Jeremy might not be more handsome than Marcus.
She drew a lot of Jeremy's, drinking coffee, sitting, standing, and in silhouette.
Her favorite one was Jeremy rushing towards someone.
It was the blurry image in her mind from the night she was in danger, and Jeremy came rushing.
After finishing the drawing, Cornelia poked at his face with her finger and said, "You big dummy, if you don't come back soon, your wife might fall for someone else, and then you'll be crying."
Cornelia laughed at her own words. What was she thinking?
She couldn't even remember what Jeremy looked like, yet she created a perfect Jeremy in her mind according to her preferences and then daydreamed about him.
