Everyone was in a funk, so the gathering broke up pretty fast.
Before Rosie could even say goodbye to Cornelia, Lucas whisked her away. Just before leaving, Hannah somehow managed to convince Steven to let her have a private chat with Cornelia.
She grabbed Cornelia's hand and asked, "Cornelia, did you have a fight with Marcus?"
Cornelia shook her head, "No."
Hannah asked, "Then why do you look so upset? Is it because he went abroad without you?"
Cornelia grumbled, "I feel like he's hiding something from me. When I ask him, he doesn't tell me. I called him, he said he was waiting for an important call and would call me back later. He didn't even give me a chance to talk and just hung up."
When the hell would he call her?
Cornelia glanced at her watch. It was almost nine in the evening. Once he was on that plane abroad, it would be even harder to reach him.
Hannah said, "So, you're waiting for his call. Why do you have to wait for him to call? If you miss him, just call him."
Cornelia thought for a moment and felt that Hannah made sense, "Okay, I'll call him right now."
Seeing how eager Cornelia was, Hannah couldn't help but smile, "I'll take off then. See ya."
"Okay, bye." Cornelia didn't see Hannah out. She quickly dialed Marcus' number.
However, the other end of the line responded with an automated message, "The subscriber you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
