Chapter 1086

Cornelia wasn’t slacking off either. The fire was a real blaze, not something she could put out in a jiffy By the time the fire was out, everyone who had been fighting it would probably be beat.

She found a nearby convenience store, buying a bunch of water and stuff like chocolates and bread that could perk them up pretty quick. She couldn’t directly fight the fire so she decided to do the grunt work

The fire was massive and didn’t die down until the wee hours of the morning.

Everyone who’d been fighting the fire was wiped out. Cornelia handed out water and food to everyone, helping them get their strength back. Once everything was sorted, Comelia grabbed a bottle of water and a couple of chocolates, and started looking for Marcus in the crowd.

She did a lap but couldn’t find Marcus Cornelia was a bit on edge and asked a guy near her, “Have you seen Marcus?”

He replied, “You looking for President Hartley?”

He pointed to the left, “He should be over there.”

“Thanks” After thanking him, Cornelia went in the direction he pointed.

After wading through the crowd, Cornella finally found Marcus at the ruins, covered in dust.

Marcus was usually a clean freak, always immaculate. This was the first time Comelia saw him looking like a dust bunny. She walked up to him right away, giving

him the water and chocolates, “Drink some water first, theri chow down on these chocolates to get your energy back.”

She pulled out a wet wipe from her pocket, wanting to help him clean his face, “Your face is all dirty. Let me clean it up for you.”

But Marcus suddenly rubbed his face against hers, really going for it.

He was rubbing pretty hard, making Cornelia’s face hurt but she didn’t dodge, “Jeremy, what are you doing?”

Marcus let go of her, looking at the dust on her face, and said seriously, “You wanted to clean my face, didn’t you?”

Annoyed, Cornelia said, “Is this how I wanted to clean your face? Are you only going to be happy when I’m as dirty as you?”

Marcus said, “Yes”

Cornelia was speechless.

He actually dared to answer?

She balled up her fist, wanting to give him a punch, but she let it go, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing her on the brink of tears, Marcus felt bad, “Cornelia, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were afraid of getting dirty. I won’t play pranks on you anymore.”

“I’m not upset because you got my face dirty, I don’t need your apology!” Cornelia threw herself into his arms, holding onto him tightly.

Marcus stroked her head, “What’s wrong then? Did someone upset you?”

Cornelia said, “Just shut up, let me hold you, let me know you’re still here.”

Marcus wasn’t sure if Cornelia knew something, he was a bit confused but didn’t let it show, “Where else would I be?”

Cornelia sniffled, her eyes red, “When I couldn’t find you just now, I got really scared. I know nothing will happen to you but I was still scared. I was really scared you’d be gone.”
