Chapter 464
Youâve worked your way up from small roles, catching the attention of the audience. And through your hard work, youâve become the most popular actress, winning countless awards. Youâre amazing how can you doubt yourself?]
Cornelia sent the message, and in less than two seconds, she got a reply from Hannah. It seemed like she had been waiting for the authorâs reply [Finally, you deigned to reply I thought you were giving me the cold shoulder]
Cornelia could sense the fear and unease from Hannahâs words.
Ashley was a lively character Cornelia created for her comic, but she had a hard time coming up with her at first. Now, Hannah seemed to have fully immersed herself in the character, unable to snap out of it
Cornelia replied Iâve just been swamped with work and rarely log into Facebook. Shoot me a message anytime, Iâll definitely reply when I see it ]
Hannah said [People are saying my success is all thanks to a sugar daddy. Why do you think all my accolades are due to my own hard work?
Cornelia replied [Because Iâm a girl too, and Iâve been through similar stuff. Society is quick to assume that successful women must have relied on men. But we both know, many girls get better by working their tails off]
Hannah said (Thank youâ
The affirmation from a stranger was the best remedy for her wounded heart.
Cornelia said. [No need to thank me, hit me up anytime]
After replying, Cornelia quickly checked for flights from Riverton to Woodpine on her phone. She was worried about Hannah and felt she needed to be with her. There were still plenty of flights, and if she left for the airport now, she could catch the last flight.
Cornelia quickly booked the flight Business class was only fifty bucks more than economy, but she couldnât bring herself to spend the extra fifty on business class. This was a personal trip, no company reimbursement
After purchasing the ticket, Cornelia grabbed her ID and phone and bolted for the airport. Without any checked luggage, she saved some time. But she still had to sprint going through security to make the flight
The Celestial Chateau was too big too lonely for one person. The loneliness brought back some unpleasant childhood memories. So Marcus often stayed at Blueshell Mansion of kept busy with work to suppress them.
Heâd just showered and was about to hit the hay when Ayden called.
Ayden rarely initiated contact, so Marcus knew something was up, âWhatâs up?â
after
Ayden nervously said, âPresident Hartley, Cornelia caught the last flight to Woodpine tonight. She didnât bring any luggage when she left, so I didnât realize she was going so far. By the time I knew she was heading to Woodpine, there were no more flights available tonight. I canât get there right awayâ
âWait at the airport. Youâre on the hook if anything happens to her.â Marcus hung up and dialed another number, âArrange a private jet to Woodpine ASAP Iâm heading to the airport now, the sooner the better.â
