She wouldn't dare think like that.
Marcus said, "Try saying that again, Briana."
Briana thought, why was her brother such a blockhead? She was trying to help him pursue his crush and he couldn’t see it?
The sound of a phone ringing filled the living room. Marcus put down what he was doing to answer it.
The moment he left, Briana let loose, "Cornelia, if you don't want to talk about my brother, how about we talk about your husband, Jeremy?"
"Let's switch topics," Cornelia replied. She knew too little about Jeremy. Almost two years into their marriage, and she still didn't know what Jeremy did for a living. There didn't seem to be much to talk about.
But Briana had a lot to say about Jeremy, "Cornelia, you asked me today if I knew Jeremy. Now I'm telling you, not only do I know him, but we're also quite close. Would you like to hear my thoughts on Jeremy?"
Cornelia smiled gently, "Bri, thanks for the suggestion! But I want to figure out what kind of person Jeremy is on my own."
Relationships between people were strange. One person couldn’t please everyone. There would always be people who thought they were great, and others who thought they were not.
Cornelia didn't want to be influenced by others' opinions before meeting Jeremy. No matter what kind of person he was, she wanted to find out for herself. If Jeremy had any shortcomings, she could help him improve; if Jeremy was exceptional, she would strive to be just as outstanding.
They thought that was the end of it, but the man who was into Marcus became even more enthusiastic. The male star initiated various approaches towards Marcus, then dropped all kinds of hints. When Marcus remained unresponsive, he went straight to Marcus' room.
The male star was known to the public as an innocent, never-been-in-love boy. But when he was courting Marcus, he was far from that.
Cornelia almost felt sick.
"Ah, why are we talking about my brother again? Let's not, let's talk about Jeremy." Briana was hoping they would go public soon, so she could call Cornelia her sister-in-law without restraint.
She initiated the conversation on her own, "Cornelia, don't be fooled by Jeremy's current success. He might be a bigshot now, but he had a rough childhood. His parents didn't care for him. If it weren't for his loving grandmother, he might not have made it to adulthood."
