Nadia was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, realizing her previous comment had come off as dismissive.
She settened her tone and asked, “How are you adjusting to everything so far?
“n’s fine, thank you for asking. Ms. Cooper.” After a brief pause, she lowered her voice and added, “The kitchen design should be open–plan, and the overall style will lean towards darker colors. The master bedroom on the second floor will need a bigger bed. ”
The villa she had lived in with Xavier for two years had a closed kitchen, which Xavier had never liked.
He also wasn’t fond of bright colors and often complained that the master bedroom’s bed was too small for his taste. It wasn’t big enough for him, considering his position an preference for variety.
However, Lily wasn’t bringing this up for Xavier’s benefit–she simply wanted to help Nadia secure this deal as much as possible.
Nadia raised an eyebrow. “How do you know all this? The design and color scheme of that house used to be pretty bold!
