Her phone had been silent all night. Even though Cornelia didn't come home, Marcus didn't call to check on her, didn't even return a single message.
Cornelia picked up her phone, found Marcus' contact, and quickly typed in: ["Jeremy, didn't you realize I didn't come home last night? Or do you just not give a damn whether I come home or not?]
The message was ready to go. Cornelia rechecked it, then hit send.
Marcus was always an early bird, he should be awake by now. She stared at the phone, waiting for his reply.
But, the reply never came, not even when her eyes began to throb with fatigue. He didn't return her message!
Cornelia took a deep breath, trying to suppress the frustration welling up inside her, but to no avail. It felt like there was a ball of fire in her chest, ready to explode. She hastily stood up, but her head spun from staying up all night and she fell back onto the chair.
Cornelia steadied herself, waiting to recover before slowly standing up again. She did a quick wash and put on some lotion, then hurriedly went downstairs.
Granny Luisa was already up, doing her morning exercises due to her old age.
"Nelly, good morning!" Granny Luisa said.
"Morning! I'm going to check on Marc at his company." Cornelia said.
Granny Luisa chuckled, "Only left Marc for a night and you're already missing him?"
Cornelia nodded, "Yeah, missing him."
Granny Luisa giggled, "Then off you go. I'll have the driver take you."
"I can drive myself. Please have the driver take Patricia back to Celestial Chateau later." Cornelia replied.
"Alright." Granny Luisa said.
