Chapter 465
The flight from Riverton to Woodpine took no more than three hours, touching down at Woodpine at two in the morning.
The temperature swung in Woodpine were a real bear And Cornelia, underdressed as she was, started feeling the chill immediately after getting off the plane, which even kicked out her sleepiness.
Cornelia followed the crowd towards the airport exit when suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind her, âMs Stewart? Is that you?â
Turning around, Cornelia saw Steven, tall and upright with a smile on his face. His assistant was also behind him, both of them focusing their attention on Cornelia
Cornelia looked up at the flight information board on the wall, there was a flight that had just landed from Harbor City to Woodpine, President Dixon, what a coincidence. What brings you here?â
âHannah is filming here, I came to visit her Steven looked around, but didnât see who he wanted to see, âHow come youâre here alone? Didnât Marc come with you?â
This sentence sounded a bit suggestive. Cornelia quickly clarified her relationship with Marcus, âIâm on vacation, not here for work. President Hartley is my boss, so itâs unlikely for him to accompany me hereâ
Steven smiled, opened up Marcusâs WhatsApp on his phone: [Marcus, your wife is in Woodpine all by herself. Are you aware?]
After the message was sent. Steven waited for a while, but didnât get a reply from Marcus. He tried to call, but the other party had already turned off their phone
Marcus was a workaholic. His personal and work phones were always on, only turning them off under special circumstances. Steven guessed that Marcus might be on his way to Woodpine
He laughed, âMs. Stewart, did Marcus do something to piss you off and you came to Woodpine to blow off some steam? Tell me how he hurt you, and Iâll give him a piece of my mind
âIâve told you, Marcus and I are just employee and boss. Please stop making misleading comments.â Cornelia was a bit annoyed inside, but remained polite on the surface, âHow could President Hartley piss me offâ
Steven always had a kind smile on his face, but no one could know what heâs thinking inside.
Cornelia couldnât see through him and didnât want to have too much contact with him, âPresident Dixon, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll be on my wayâ
Steven wasnât going to let Cornelia go easily. âItâs not convenient to call a cab now. Which hotel are you heading to? Iâll have my driver drop you off.â
Cornelia replied, âI havenât booked a hotel yet, no need to trouble youâ
Steven said, âSince you havenât booked a hotel, why donât you come with me to the hotel near Hannahâs film set. You and Hannah havenât seen each other for a while, it would be a good chance to catch upâ
âReally no need Goodbyeâ Cornelia turned around and left, trying to get out of Stevenâs sight as quickly as possible.
Her main reason for this visit was to spend time with Hannah, but unfortunately bumped into Steven. Steven was very possessive; he would never give her and Hannah alone time. So she felt like this trip was a waste.
Watching Corneliaâs retreating figure, Steven said to his assistant, âFollow her, see which hotel she checks into.â
Marcus had upset his wife and she had left; he must be looking for her everywhere. At this point, if he told Marcus about Corneliaâs whereabouts, he could get some benefits
out of him
After leaving the airport, Cornelia hailed a cab and headed straight for downtown. She was planning to stay there for a couple of days and go find Hannah after Steven left Woodpine.
Woodpine was a tourist city. The tourism industry was booming, with many visitors every year. During the peak season, the prices of the better hotels could multiply several times and it might even be impossible to book a room.
