Cornelia asked Abigail, "Who's out there?"
The door slammed louder than Abigail intended, catching the attention of the two busy gents in the kitchen.
After Marcus came out, he immediately looked at Cornelia and then swiftly positioned himself behind her, appearing as if he was ready to protect her.
Zack wiped his hands on his apron, rushing over to the flustered Abigail. "Abigail, what's up?"
Abigail instructed, "Make sure Cornelia gets back to her room. Her boyfriend should be with her. And no peeping, not until I say so."
Abigail was being too erratic, and Cornelia didn't want to provoke her. She quickly agreed, "Alright, we'll head back to our room, you take your time with Zack."
"President Hartley, let's chill in my room for a bit." Cornelia hurriedly pulled Marcus back to their room.
Once inside her room, Cornelia shut the door, leaving a small gap to peek through.
Abigail knew her too well, "No peeping!" she yelled.
Cornelia had no choice but to shut the door completely, not daring to peek anymore.
Even though Cornelia was back in her room, Abigail wasn't reassured. "Zack, lock Cornelia's door from the outside. Make sure she can't peek."
Zack asked, "What's going on? Tell me first."
