Chapter 466
Cornelia shelled out over thirty bucks for a pretty decent single room in a chain hotel Lucky for her, it was off peak season for tourism.
By the time she checked in, dawn was breaking Comelia tidied up a bit and hit the sack. She snoozed until almost noon, completely throwing her normal routine out of
whack
When she woke up, Cornelia instinctively grabbed her phone. After unlocking it, she saw two messages from Hannah.
[Cornelia, Steven told me youâre visiting Woodpine If you donât have other plans for lunch, can we grab a bite?]
[Cornelia, hit me up after you wake up I wonât call you in case it wakes you up. ]
Cornelia immediately replied [Sure, where you at? Ill head over now ]
Shortly after sending the message. Hannah quickly sent an address. Cornelia saw that the restaurant was not far away from her hotel, a few minutesâ walk at most. She sprung out of bed, freshened up, and hurried off to the restaurant.
Once she got there, she even spotted a couple of familiar faces. Only then did she realize her boss, Marcus, was there too.
And it wasnât just Marcus. Lucas and his wife and Zavier were there as well.
The last time she saw Zavier, he looked full of life. But it hadnât been that long since then. Today Zavier hadnât even bothered to shave. He looked beat, like he aged a decade
overnight.
Cornelia couldnât help but stare at him a little longer Zavier was also staring at her, his eyes filled with a piercing intensity, like he wanted to swallow her whole.
To be honest, Cornelia was somewhat scared of the way Zavier was looking at her, but she knew she couldnât let him get the upper hand. So, she held her head high, puffed up her chest, and walked in
Before she even had a chance to greet Marcus, she was warmly embraced by Hannah and Rosie.
Hannah said, âCornelia, weâve missed you so much. Today, just the three of us girls will go out and find somewhere fun to go, without these guys.â
Cornelia touched Hannahâs significantly thinner face, âIâm game, but Iâm not sure if President Dixon and Lucas will let us go.â
Steven walked over and softly pecked Hannahâs cheek under everyoneâs watchful gaze, âI donât know if Lucas will let his wife go, but wonât let you out of my sight.â
Hannah gently avoided Stevenâs touch, a bit annoyed, âCanât you give us a little personal space?â
Steven gently pinched her earlobe, âWhat canât you say in front of us?â
Hannah pushed his hand away, âGirls definitely have some things that guys shouldnât hear.â
Steven looked at Cornelia. âYou can say it to others, but not to Cornelia. Donât let her lead you astray.â
Cornelia really wanted to chew him out, but considering the circumstances. She held back, âPresident Dixon, have I offended you?â
Steven said, âNot yet. But Iâm always afraid that if you take Hannah away. Iâll end up heartbroken like Zavier.â
Cornelia didnât respond. She had fallen asleep as soon as she arrived at the hotel last night, so she had no clue what significant events had transpired around her while she was out cold
d her away already
