Waking up at this ungodly hour, Cornelia found herself unable to drift back to sleep, so she decided to get up and freshen up. To her dismay, she found that not only was the heater busted, but there was also no hot water supply.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Cornelia asked.
A female voice came from outside, "Ms. Stewart, I'm Kellan's assistant."
Cornelia was puzzled as to why Kellan's assistant would come to her this early, but she opened the door anyway. "Hey there! What's up?"
The girl answered, "Your room has no heater or hot water, right?"
Cornelia replied, "Yeah, that's right."
The girl continued, "How are you gonna wash your face without hot water in this freezing weather? We have hot water in our room, wanna come over?"
Cornelia barely knew the girl and considering situaltion, how could she possibly go to another guy's room to freshen up?
"Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. I'm used to washing my face with cold water at home, so it's all good." Cornelia said.
"Ms. Stewart, you really don't want to come over?" The girl asked.
Cornelia replied, "Yeah, thanks a ton though!"
The girl confessed, "Actually, it was Kellan who wanted you to come over."
Cornelia smiled in response, "Then I'll personally thank him when I see him later."
The girl gave Cornelia a hard look, eyed her stomach and then said, "You're pregnant. Who do you think you are, acting high and mighty?"
