Chapter 1358
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.
âWhoâs there?â Cornelia asked.
A female voice came from outside, âMs. Stewart, Iâm Kellanâs assistant.â
Comelia was puzzled as to why Kellanâs assistant would come to her this early, but she opened the door anyway, âHey there! Whatâs up?â
The girl answered, âYour room has no heater or hot water, right?â
Comelia replied, âYeah, thatâs right.â
The girl continued, âHow are you gonna wash your face without hot water in this freezing weather? We have hot water in our room, wanna come over?
Comelia barely knew the girl and considering situation, how could she possibly go to another guyâs room to freshen up?
âThanks for the offer, I appreciate it. Iâm used to washing my face with cold water at home, so itâs all good.â Cornelia said.
âMs. Stewart, you really donât want to come over?â The girl asked.
Cornelia replied, âYeah, thanks a ton though!â
The girl confessed, âActually, it was Kellan who wanted you to come over.â
Cornelia smiled in response. âThen Iâll personally thank him when I see him later.â
The girl gave Cornelia a hard look, eyed her stomach and then said, âYouâre pregnant. Who do you think you are, acting high and mighty?â
âWhat?â Cornelia was taken aback by her comment.
âSeize the opportunity, donât let it slip. If you can satisfy Kellan, you can save yourself years of struggle.â The girl said.
âWhat are you talking about?â Cornelia was utterly confused by the girlâs words.
âDonât play dumb.â The girl retorted.
Comelia didnât know much about the ins and outs of the crew, apart from Hannah, she didnât know anyone else. And right now, she felt like she was on someone elseâs turf. She knew she couldnât go against the tide; she had to play it smart.
âLady, I donât know who you are, but if you smear Kellanâs name, I wonât let it slide.â Corneliaâs words left the girl dumbstruck.
Just the effect Cornelia wanted, and she continued, âIn my eyes, Kellan is a very respected man, I wonât let people like you tarnish his reputation.â
Corneliaâs fiery words left the girl with a sour expression, and finally, she turned around and left.
Watching the girl leave, Cornelia went back into her room, immediately bolted the door and carefully checked every corner inside. After making sure there were no hidden cameras or anything, she finally relaxed. But if Kellan really wanted to do something to her, even she managed to stop them this time, they would definitely find other ways next time. She had to think ahead of how to deal with it.
Cornelia mulled over her options while washing with cold water, her face and nose were red from the cold after she was done. Just then, there was another knock on her door.
Cornelia jumped in fright, then heard Hannahâs voice.
âNelly, are you awake?â Hannah asked.
Cornelia hurried to open the door. When she opened the door, Hannah was holding a steaming hot breakfast.
âWelly, this is the breakfast my assistant prepared for me, I brought it to share with you.â Hannah said.
Cornelia sneezed.
