Granny Rebecca was a retired teacher who loved getting her nose stuck in a book. So, Trent had set
her up a little reading nook in a corner of the balcony and even threw in a rocking chair.
She could chill out there, bask in the sun, and immerse herself in her favorite reads.
Next up, the study room. Cornelia was a sucker for painting and reading. The room was decorated in a
plain and orderly manner, but the color coordination was super cozy.
The left and right walls were stacked with ceiling–high bookshelves that could stash a ton of books. A
bunch of plants were placed in front of the window. Whenever Cornelia got tired of reading, she just
had to lift her head to get a sight of some lush greenery, which was right up her alley.
Last but not least, the master bedroom and the walk–in closet. Nothing extraordinary about these two,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrent simply nailed Cornelia’s request for a chic, minimalist, and comfy vibe.
The house decor was exactly Cornelia’s cup of tea and it was strikingly similar to the design she had in
mind. Trent’s attention to detail was the icing on the cake.
Cornelia took a tour and was over the moon. Trent, the dependable designer, had turned her house
into her dream home.
Zack and Abigail were all praises, “If ever we need to get our house done up, you’re the man.”
Most of Trent’s clients were loaded like Marcus and they all appreciated his design. They paid up
without a fuss, but seldom did they shower him with such sincere compliments. Sometimes, genuine
praises could be more rewarding than a fat paycheck.
“Sure thing, hit me up if you need anything. The renovation is complete. Just give it some time for the
formaldehyde to dissipate, then you can move into your new crib. Trent said.
Cornelia said, “Trent, I can’t thank you enough. I was out of the country on a business trip during the
renovation and was swamped for two weeks straight when I got back. Haven’t even had the chance to
drop by. You’ve done a bang–up job getting the house to match the design.”
Trent came clean, “You think I’d break my back doing this if it wasn’t for your hubby Jeremy?”
Cornelia said, “Right, you’ve been giving it your all for Jeremy’s sake. Let’s settle the accounts, I’ll wire
you the balance.”
Trent said, “Don’t sweat it, your hubby has already paid up.”
Cornelia said, “He did? Why didn’t he tell me?”
“He didn’t tell you but I did.” Trent said.
Cornelia was pleased as punch and Trent was tickled pink to receive a hefty sum, “Alright, Ms. Stewart,
my wife’s waiting for me at home. I gotta bounce. You know where to find me if you need anything.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Trent left, Cornelia heard Zack say, “Didn’t know Jeremy was more reliable than I thought. He
even takes care of some stuff for
you.”
Cornelia laughed and said, “He’s always been great.”
Zack gave her a stare look and said, “Keep defending him. When’s he gonna show up?”
Cornelia took out her cell phone and said, “I’ve been swamped lately, didn’t have much time to catch up
with him. I’ll ask him when he’s gonna be back in Riverton.”
Even though she said that, Cornelia actually texted Jeremy: [You’ve transferred all the money you
made last year to me. How did you still have enough to cover the renovation?]
Jeremy replied right away: [I did transfer all the money I made last year to you, but I still have some
savings I made before that.] Cornelia replied. [Why didn’t you keep the money for yourself? Why did
you give me all your money to spend?]
