"I'm all set." Marcus whipped out his phone and made a quick call, and in no time, someone brought over a ginormous suitcase. The suitcase was crammed full of stuff, not just clothes but all his daily necessities. It almost seemed like he was planning to stay for quite a while.
Marcus opened up the suitcase and started to unpack. His clothes took up half of Cornelia's wardrobe, and his toiletries took up half of her vanity table.
In just a few moments, though, the room seemed to have been taken over by him, as if he'd been living here for a long time.
Cornelia was speechless.
After he was done unpacking, Marcus picked out some clothes, "I need to take a shower."
And off he went to the bathroom.
Before long, he emerged from the bathroom in his pajamas and returned to the room. He was utterly at ease, showing no signs of discomfort at being in someone else's home.
Cornelia was once again speechless. It felt like he was trying to turn her place into his home!
Marcus advised, "You should take a shower too and get some rest. You have a busy day at work tomorrow."
Tomorrow, Cornelia had to go to work. Plus, she was currently handling the most important project of the year, so she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Following his advice, Cornelia picked up her clothes and went to take a shower. After her shower, she habitually hand washed her underwear. While washing her undies, she remembered that Marcus should have some dirty ones too.
But there were no clothes of his in the bathroom.
Did he wash his own underwear? That was a good habit.
When Cornelia came out of the shower and hung her underwear on the balcony, there was still no sign of Marcus' clothes.
Did he not change his underwear?
Cornelia decided to go back to her room and ask him. Before entering her room, she glanced at Abigail and Zack's doors, "What are you guys up to? If you want to peep, at least have the guts to do it openly."
