No doubt, Cornelia would go for Briana, "President Hartley, if you've got nothing else on my plate, I'll head out with Briana for some grub."
After Christmas in Paris with them, Briana vanished into thin air. Cornelia hadn't heard from her in a while.
Dealing with Skyler's stuff and work, Cornelia didn't spare a thought on where Briana had been. Seizing this opportunity, she would grill Briana on her recent whereabouts.
Even though Marcus Hartley was reluctant, he respected Cornelia's choice and could only watch them depart.
On the way, Briana was yapping non-stop, dragging Cornelia along. She'd been country-hopping, hanging out with friends after leaving Paris. In short, Briana's life was a wild ride. Something Cornelia, an average joe, could hardly fathom.
As Briana rambled, Cornelia listened attentively. She occasionally questioned about new things Briana mentioned.
Cornelia's inquiries would set Briana off on another long-winded story.
It was baffling how their parents produced two kids with polar opposite personalities, one a chatterbox, the other taciturn.
About half an hour later, they reached their destination. Cornelia discovered not only Briana but also Natalia would join the lunch, who had a beef with her since day one.
Today, Natalia greeted her warmly, "Cornelia, I owe you an apology for the nasty things I've said. I asked Briana to set up this meeting so I can apologize face to face."
Cornelia glanced at Briana, who was visibly sheepish, "Cornelia, I didn't mean to keep it from you."
"Really?" Cornelia wasn't upset. She was just messing with Briana.
